Festive Eve for the Twisted Colour Challenge

Dear Diary:

When I saw the colour swatch for the Challenge, it brought back a lot of memories for me.  As a brand new resident several years ago, I was invited to a Christmas formal dance.  I had nothing in my closet that would do.  And faced with that, I went shopping of course.  So in celebration of the colour and season, I'm wearing my very first formal gown that I owned in my second world.

Good Night for now.

Relaxed Greenlands Meets Redstone Mountains

Dear Diary:

It's nice to see Sookie back to finish up The Twisted Colour Challenge.    Not a lot of weeks left.  I decided to combine the colours this week since both were kinda "greeny" and kinda "reddy", in order to get my Christmas fix.  I'm sure you've read in previous posts of my obsession with Christmas so I managed to assuage my need to show Christmas.

Almost all of the clothing and jewelry I'm wearing is either free or a very low cost, found at the stores or on Marketplace.  Nice bargains!

Good Night for now.

Beach Club for The Twisted Colour Challenge

Dear Diary:

Well I thought of going for a "beachy" look this week for Sookie's Challenge.  With the colour name, it would have been perfect.  I have the swimsuit; I have the sunhat; and I have the fake tan.  But when I stepped out my front door, I thought, "Yeah...sure...right!!  I really could get into a bikini in this weather!!"  So I'm wearing something less revealing and a lot warmer.

Enchanted High for Twisted Colour

Dear Diary:

The Twisted Colour Challenge is calling for a very vibrant duo this week.  As you all know, pink is not for me but this shade is such a soft one I quite like it.

Coffee House is Where I Want to Be

Dear Diary:

I must admit, in the morning, even before my feet hit the floor, the sound of the RRRRRR, (the grinder) and the blurb...blurb..blurb (water bubbling) wake me with a glorious mind-set.  Then the delicious smell filters down the hall way, infusing my nose with an aromatic bouquet.  And finally the beep...beep...beep of the machine indicates the end.  Finally I know the coffee is done and I can begin my morning.

I do need that cup in the morning.

Good Night for now.

The Twisted Colour Challenge has two colours that I really like as a combination.  Now that the weather has turned cooler, it put me in mind for a cozy sweater that had the right colour connection.

Grannie Loves Orchid House

Dear Diary:

Today is not only The Twisted Colour Challenge, but it's also Grandparents' Day, so I thought I would celebrate both events.

I was very close to my grandparents, on both sides, and enjoyed spending time with them and listening to their stories [again and again and again!].  I was particularly close to my maternal grandmother and paid tribute to her last year at this time.

This year, it's my other grandmother that I'm acknowledging.  She was also unique but more like an elderly woman who loved to bake cookies.  And that can be so good too! 

Cheers to all the grandparents who have spent so many years loving and caring; nurturing and feeding; teaching and telling.  This is your day!

Good Night for now.

Labour Day is the Great White Way

Dear Diary:

I just finished some needed vacation [insert smile here] and it's running into a long weekend for me [insert BIG smile here].  Today is Labour Day in Canada, and is "an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers", so says Wikipedia, therefore I decided I should follow that dictate and do some work in the garden.

I'm digging up some baby potatoes.  They're so good with lots of butter and salt.

Hope you all enjoy your Labour Day.

Good Night for now.

It's The Week for The Wild, Wild West

Dear Diary:

It's nice to see The Twisted Colour Challenge pick a fall colour this week since it soon will be that season.  And yes, I had full intention of putting on a stylish fall outfit, a little warmer, more covered up but when I went to do this post today, the temperature outside was 34C (approximately 93F) with the humidex at 44C, over 100F, so I certainly didn't feel like putting on long pants and a sweater.  I decided to spray on the fake tan; haul out the bikini; and, dig out the sun hat one more time.

It's better than having to slather on the face cream; haul out the snow boots; and, dig out the toque!  And I know I'll be doing that soon enough.

Good Night for now.

Preppy Violet for The Twisted Colour Challenge

Dear Diary:

When I was growing up, I was never accused of being "preppy".  To me, it meant following a certain lifestyle or clothing style and that's something I never did.  

For interest, I checked to see what I would have to do to be preppy and found the following suggestion:



"To look preppy, you should dress clean-cut and classy. The preppy look is also having a positive attitude, always being happy. Have good manners and etiquette also helps."   [from Ask]

I'm really going to have to work on that!

Good Night for now.

In My Wine Cellar

Dear Diary:

The Twisted Colour Challenge this week is Wine Cellar as in -

My colours this week are a little off since in my wine cellar....er...rack in my case, I don't have the "full bodied red" as in the example.  I like white wine but don't care for  red as much.  Merlot is ok but I'm not one for the stronger tasting reds.  So I think I'm wearing more of a pink zinfandel and a sauvignon blanc.

Good Night for now.

Evening Preserves is the Twisted Colour

Dear Diary:

I thought it was time for a bikini post.  Mainly because I'm dying for bikini-clad weather.

Summer in my part of the world has been not what I was expecting.  It's been cool and cloudy with a lot...and I mean A LOT...of rain.  It's lucky that in my other world it could be sunny every day of the year.

So the sun is shining, my tan is fabulous and I'm toasty warm wearing just my bikini. 

As if......

The Vibrance of Velvet Jazz

Dear Diary:

I never cared for jazz too much.  I just couldn't get into it.  Then I heard Pat Metheny, a guitarist who has been in the forefront of jazz greats for quite awhile and this year won a Grammy for best instrumental jazz album.  All of a sudden, I could appreciate the intricacies of the music.

So the Twisted Colour this week certainly got me movin' n' groovin'!

I'm so Sweet and Light

Dear Diary:

When I saw the title of the colour for the Challenge this week, I thought to myself, "Could I ever be sweet?"  "Not likely," I whispered.  So...I put on a low cut sweater; added some cool shades; and plumped up the lips with a funky paint....and voila!  How sweet is that!
