Inspired by Nature

Last week, my fab sisters – the Campfire Girls -
flew to Dos Palmas for a few nights of sun and sea.
This trip was a birthday gift to my dear sister Pinky Vierra.
Look at this canopy of bougainvilleas at the island -
I stared at this for a long time.
I loved how lush and wild these hot pink petals are.
Here Pinky and Marie share a quiet moment.
When we were growing up, these two were inseparable.
Some days they were like cats and dogs,
nevertheless they couldn’t live without each other.

Its easy to be inspired by beautiful scenery, especially when I’m not working.
My mind is free and breathing well, I am not rushing and
attending to sixty things in sixty minutes…
I love relaxation, especially with my sisters -
it’s always a laugh fest where I am truly comfortable.

It reminds me of this prom dress I created just this prom season.
I just love, love, love these dainty petals in chiffon- don’t you?
