Like you said, a pretty little girl picking a daisy can be just a pretty little girl picking a daisy.<BR/><BR/>I loved the pics of your personal treasures and I too love Bougainvilleas. They remind of travelling through some enchanting villages in Greece last year. Thank you for triggering that memory.

She used to do it when we were little - I think it was her one night out a week and she must've enjoyed that time with her art class after being home with 3 rambunctious kids all day! My dad still works with pastel chalks sometimes, too. I guess I got a double dose of artsy.<BR/>Living near the beach is such a treat!
