I like pink?!?!?

I have never been a pink person. I know most girls are drawn to almost any shade of pink but that has never been me. I don't have a speck of it in my home or closet. My favorite color is gray followed by black. I am drawn to dark, deep colors and will gladly pass up a pastel color in any shade, that is until recently!
I find that in my old age now ( 43 is getting up there....hehehe...) I might be weakening in my position towards other colors beside the dark, somber ones. One of my favorite blogs to read in the wonderful my faerie window by the equally wonderful Lori Karla. She is a master of creating in wonderful light shades of pink, blues, greens and purples.
While out antiquing last weekend, I came across some vintage pink ribbon and found myself strangely drawn to it. I heard Lori's voice ( or what I imagined Lori's voice to sound like..) telling me to bite the bullet and just buy that pretty pink ribbon. That it was time to cross over to the light side!
So, since I don't normally hallucinate people's voices, i felt it was sign that I needed to purchase that pink ribbon and to create something with a bit of pink in it and so I did......

and look there is even some baby blue in there too.....how brave and daring of me!!!

I have finally overcome by fear of pink and learned that it not such a bad color after all! In fact, I have some of this ribbon left over and am actually looking forward to using it again. So Lori, I would like to thank you for inspiring me to embrace my inner pink side. It is a nice change for me and I realize that a little change in life is a good thing...though I still don't think there will ever be any pink in my closet....lol...!!!
