Sketches and Pink!

You’re so beautiful, my darling, so beautiful, and your dove eyes are veiled by your hair as it flows and shimmers, like a flock of goats in the distance streaming down a hillside in the sunshine. Your smile is generous and full— expressive and strong and clean. Your lips are jewel red, your mouth elegant and inviting, your veiled cheeks soft and radiant. The smooth, lithe lines of your neck command notice—all heads turn in awe and admiration! 

Your breasts are like fawns, twins of a gazelle, grazing among the first spring flowers.

I look all around for Inspiration for all of my projects and this week was no different.  I found color inspiration in an item I have and a cardstock pad I got on Clearance last year…  ;-}

I have had several friends and family members who have had Breast Cancer.  I am THANKFUL for those who have been saved through the medical advancements and cures.  I am THANKFUL to have had those Dear Ones in my life who have passed away from this dreadful disease...
