Color Your World :: Teal

My sister and I kind of have a love affair with teal...and yellow and gray...but that's another post. Lately it has been teal. In fact, I am planning to use teal as one of the major accent colors in our great room...eventually! Haha!

So when my friend, Jen and her Color Your World co-hosts challenged us to show our art with the word TEAL, I was excited. But then I thought...I don't know what pics I have taken focused around teal lately, so I checked out my pics over the past 2 months {since the last time I linked up} and came up with a great variety!

Check out how TEAL colors my world......

Encouraging my friend, Chloe {far right} at her 

Mary Kay consultant debut...her director, and my friend/boss,

Emily, showcases her summery teal dress

My love with his current outdoorsy love :: kite surfing.

I absolutely ADORE the Olympics...I mean LOVE!

This pic was snapped about half way through...it is a little more BLUE 

but I'm feeling some shades of teal in the mix. ;-)

My uncle, Ranny, turned 50 last month. My sister {left pic} and I 

helped my aunt set up and decorate. Both Aunt Bonnie and Kasi are 

partying with splashes of teal.

After my parents' 40th marriage & ministry anniversary, 

we got to spend the weekend with our adoptive family,

both boys who grew up in their orphanage

as well as fellow missionaries.

This is Bella with my mom.

Her dad is like a brother to us. 

My mom became a spiritual mother to him after his

mom died when he was 17. 

These are my home skillets whom I nanny 2-4 times a month.

Here they are wrapped up in Dora after a summer fun splash session!

I have been wanting to learn increase my photography abilities 

for AWHILE now.

This fall, my sister and I will be taking our DSLRs to the 

local community college to learn some new skills and tricks.

I LOVE to study and be in a classroom.

Just signing up for the class on campus gave me SUCH a thrill!

This was my view for the afternoon at the beach on anniversary day.

I love that my bokkie and I could spend a day together just enjoying

each other and the things we love to do.

And FINALLY....

...our house was built in 1980 and the upstairs bedroom

are carpeted in memory of that era in hunter green and magenta.

As it is currently not in the budget to change that, 

the "magenta" room is the space we are using for foster children.

So I wanted to try to work with it and recently found the

fun polka dot bedspread that you see above featuring

fuschia/magenta as well as teal among other colors. 

So I have TEAL in my house decor...at last!

I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse 
into how I SEE color in my world.
