Last Week - Summer Of Colour

This six weeks has flown and a lot of ice-creams have been dealt with... in more ways than one.  Kristin's 'Summer Of Colour' challenge, based on ice cream colours, is going out with a bang.  Watermelon Ice is the colour, and who doesn't like red?


My beads 'stash' is huge... not too difficult to find some 'watermelon' beads.

Coral, Lava, and Crystal Quartz.

Is there enough to read 'watermelon' in this.. including the skin?

The garden can always provide a range of colours...

Hippeastrum
... and, to take the subject literally, an ATC.


THANKS KRISTIN !!!!  It's been fun pretending it's summer down under... and you've introduced me to a whole new world of ice-cream.

Head on down to Kristin's blog to see everyone's wonderful work.

  7. It's been fun to watch your range of submissions each week. I played along the first half and just lost steam and inspiration though it's been really fun to see everyone else's efforts.
