tuesday muse || sunflower smiles

yes - i found a new meme to join ... tuesday muse,
and you'll find it over on a very lovely blog - a rural journal.

now, i am running late in entering for this week,
with about 20 minutes to spare,
so this is going to be short and sweet.

winter seems to be making a comeback
with much cooler temperatures, and a frost warning,
so i thought i would share a little gift i received to brighten up the day!

here is my first entry for 'tuesday muse' ...
some very beautiful sunflowers my husband brought me!

these made me smile ... sunflowers always do! :)

enjoy!

texture tuesday || another free and easy eDition

another lovely week over at 'the cafe' ...
i was so sorry that i missed all your lovely images in the 'celebration' challenge last week at kim's,
but, i had good reason ... which i won't go into here now, but soon.

here is my offering for this week ...

the beauty of these blossoms never ceases to amaze me each year, but unfortunately, they do not last long.
i just can't seem to get enough of them!  this particular image is sooc, {straight out of the camera}
and i really liked the airy and light look it had, so i did no editing, other than to add one of kim's textures:

i call this 'subtly sybil' - and here is my simple recipe:

kk_sybil . multiplied . 35%
eraser tool used lightly on the petals of the main blossom
"easy-peasy"

if you have some time, do click on over to kim's place to see her amazing image,
along with all the other beautiful textured entries that you can find through the links at the bottom of her page.

have a beautiful day!

deborah
