Magic Happens...when you mix colour

something very special happens when you mix

duck egg blue and white...

with a touch of timber...

a hint of green....

a dash of sunshine....

a mix of yellow....

a splash from the ocean

a few shades of blue

I have had such a positive couple of months, there has been so much good energy flowing my way. I still cannot believe we sold "the Boat House" before auction. It was adopted buy a Wonderful Family... LOVE at first sight. They adore the House & even took ALL the furniture. Settlement was today & I know they are celebrating as we speak !!! I however have my own house to pack & a rental to move into, so my celebrating will have to wait until Sunday night.
