Summertime and Sunkist Kisses

Happy Summer!  The skies are blue, the sun is bright and the temperatures are skyrocketing!  Oh! And here, in Florida, that means afternoon thunderstorms start rolling in to drench everything!  The other day when I left the office for lunch and walked into the parking lot I raised my face up to the sky to soak in the rays... and I felt a little like an iguana basking in the heat!  But I digress...

Apparently I'm not the only one feeling the warmth of the summer sun.  The folks over at The Color Room released Palette #62 labeled the Sun Room.  The palette was three shades of orange (light, medium and dark), plus white.  To me they were the colors of a sunkist afternoon.  Then I remembered I had this cute picture of my teenage daughter during her "strawberry blonde phase" and making a "kissy-face" and *BOOM* I was inspired.

Boy, oh, Boy!

Boy, oh, Boy, it's been a long time since I posted!  Try as I might, time just keeps on slipping away (that old song..."Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future..." comes to mind).  I've noticed, the older I get, the faster time seems to go...except when I'm at work.  Then time seems to stand still!  LOL

I've been trying to come up with a theme for this post, and with the last couple of photos I've cropped, I think I've found it.  I have 2 sons and 1 daughter.  I love cropping pictures of my daughter, particularly when she was a little girl.  I can go are feminine, floral, flourish and really bling out on those layouts.  Where I get stumped, is with masculine layouts for the boys.  They cringe when they see flowers or bling on their layouts...apparently floral accents and rhinestones aren't "butch".   LOL
