Kathryn R says:Melody, so sorry you are having such a run of gloomy days. Your gorgeous pick is a real warmer-upper! Love the colors and components. I made myself earrings out of the Sunkissed Wovens and copper earwires.

Melody F says:It must have worked. Last night there was a beautiful deep red sunset–brief but stunning. You know they say “red sky at night, sailors delight” and sure enough we had a sunny day today, and I was able to sit outside in the sun and serve us crackers and cheese while Verlyn worked on cleaning up the tree debris from the ice storm. We had a lot of little twigs and small branches fall, but nothing too bad.

dolllady aka Pam says:Beautiful pick! If gloom brings rain with it, we would be happy to take your gloom for a while. We are in severe to extreme drought. We even have burn bans until at least the end of April.

Thanks for your pick putting a smile on my face and encouraging me to get outside and enjoy the sunshine!
