Sea Shells from a friend ...

I stayed home for the holidays and was happy to do so ....
family and friends traveled and returned home safe and sound ... this is one of the best gifts I can receive.

One friend, Melody, traveled to the warm beaches of Key Largo and brought back a few shells, the likes of which I have never seen.

 What would you do with the pretty shells?




 

I laid them out and created a small watercolor as my thank you to her....

Never let an inspiration pass by ... Happy New Years to you all....

    Your painting of the lovely shells certainly pays tribute to their beauty and to your friend's thoughtfulness. How very sweet of you. :)

    Hope your New Year is a happy one and wishing you all the very best for 2013.

    Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?

    I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

    Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go
    for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally confused .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!
