Friday's Picture of the Week


 Next on my home to do list...Decorate our home office.  So yesterday I was browsing pictures for shelves and bookcases on etsy (my part anyway) ....and I found this photograph.  It's not only a beautiful shot but it touched me personally-put a huge smile on my face and made me think of my great dane, Zack.

Thanks to the BEAUTIFUL weather yesterday, Zack and I FINALLY got to take a walk yesterday.  He is honestly the best natured dog in the world, a gentle giant as they say.   I never had to worry about him growling or barking at other people passing by (as I do for my little pooch Penny).  He was a living and breathing "Precious Moments figurine" (Seriously!) with his big orange eyes staring up at me with excitement as we trotted through the spring-like weather.  We had such a great time and hopefully the weather will allow us to continue this weekend with our walks : )  I just couldn't help but have this as the picture of the week in honor of my Zacky.  And I don't think I can help making a purchase of this in the near future to sit on a shelf in our office either! 

Breathtaking Jewels & Gems

Jewel and Gem Tones have not only inspired my blog, but they have also been found sparkling and shining at all the recent fashion shows.  Don't you just love the tones of rubies, amethysts, emeralds and sapphires?  Maybe thats why I love peacock feathers...they showcase all of these lovely tones NATURALLY.  Wow!  Who said that God didn't have great taste-just look at the peacock!  Gem and Jewel tones shout elegance and luxury from their beautiful explosions of color.  Which is your favorite?  I am thinking emerald... : )

Happy Friday!
