I Heart Color-Think Pink!

Each year my family participates in the Relay For Life. It started 6 years ago when a friend of mine talked me into joining a team. I was one of the lucky ones that really hadn't had a close family member affected by cancer. You get asked a lot, "why do you Relay", and my response would be that I really for the future. My future, my families future, everyone. Well all that changed 2 years ago (3 days before the event) when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly I found that the Relay For Life took on a whole new meaning in my life.

If you ever get the chance, find a Relay in your area and go. It's fun for the whole family. You don't have to sign up on a team or anything. There is generally a track set up and someone from each team walks around the track at all times. There is food, music and the teams set up booths where you can buy things. At dusk, a luminary ceremony is held honoring all those who have fought the battle of cancer. Find more about the Relay For Life at the American Cancer Society website by clicking here.

Love those around you, believe in yourself, have faith for a better future, cherish the memories, find peace in the struggle, have the strength to carry on, the courage to fight, and most of all, a hope that a cure will be found.

$10 from the sale of this decal will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Find it by visiting my shop here.
You can also donate money to my team here.

I Heart Color-Mustard and Plum

No, not ingredients to a new recipe, only this fall's hottest new color trend! Mustard and plum is sure to be one of the hottest color trends for Fall 2009. Start watching for these colors to start popping up everywhere! You will see quite a few different variations of purples and yellows, ranging from lilacs to golds. What a beautiful and regal color combination.

As far as mixing in neutral colors, you will want to stick with gray and ivory. Shy away from brown!

Customer Photo

This was a custom order that I worked on for the sweetest gal. It's a pair of love bird grouses that she used in place of a headboard. She sent me a picture of the bird that she wanted and we worked from that. They tured out really cute!

I just have to say that I LOVE custom orders. I do some custom orders like this, where I'm completely designing a new decal. Or I will do custom orders where I just tweak the sizing or design just a smidgen. Either way it's a lot of fun and gives customers a chance to customize their decal to work best for them.

I Heart Color-Summer Sherbet Love

This weeks color trend was inspired by hot days, sherbet, raspberries & just good ole summer L-O-V-E! Ok, so maybe it's just wishful thinking. So far this summer has been full of thunderstorms and rain! I'm hoping my color picks will sweeten Mother Nature into bringing out the sunshine!

P.S. I know I'm a little overdue on getting my feature out this week (AGAIN!), I've decided to make it a weekly feature instead of a Wednesday feature.
