So I got back all my pages from the Rainbow of Colors swap I was in and I don’t have O-wires big enough for this chunky book. I decided it might be fun to make some more of each color then bind them into separate color books. Then I can display them in a circle possibly?!?
Here are a few red ones I put together today.
Special thanks to Elizabeth for the fountain pen nib.
It suddenly occurred to me that I hadn’t posted my last 4×4’s.
They are currently flitting there way off to Tennessee along with the rest of the colors.
Well, I got something completed today! I wasn’t sure that was going to happen. My folks came by to take me out for my birthday …yes…
!Mi cumpleaños es el cinco de mayo! … now where’s my margarita!
All- in- all, it was a very low key birthday..which is FINE BY ME. Tomorrow I’ll get a little ME TIME…so, it’s all good.
So I’ve been working on the back sides of my red, yellow and pink squares today. I was wanting to put some ribbon on and after looping it over it hit me!
Little pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness.
My mom is a 40 year survivor…she had a radical mastectomy in 1968. I’m thankful that she did her own self exam and discovered the lump. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have lived long enough to meet and marry my dad much less give birth to me.
Remember to do your self exams and follow your doctors orders for get mammograms on schedule. I’ve been getting mammograms every other year since I was 26. It’s quick, easy and totally worth the brief discomfort.
I will now step down off my soap box.
Boy these red ones took longer than I had expected. Not sure why red was difficult but it certainly was! I just have green, black and white. Theresa said we can combine the black and white. I’m going to give doing them separately a try first.
I’ve been jammin’ on these squares. I’m pretty determined to get them all completed before the first mailing date. 
This will serve several purposes including saving postage, freeing me up for other projects and most of all, not forgetting until the last minute. I’m usually not that forgetful but my mind has been REALLY scattered lately. Forgot my purse one day and my workout shoes the next. Must be that birthday sneaking up on me.
I’ve completed the next 2 colors in my long term swap. 
I love that I get to use up scraps and the little bits and bobbles I’ve collected over time. It’s really stretching me creatively too…coming up with so many unique designs.
I haven’t decided which one of each color I’ll be keeping yet.
Any opinions?
