I understand the yellow splash with the title is meant to stand out, but all that black and white space just looks DISTRESSINGLY empty. Frankly I hope there's a whole Instagram account or at least tag devoted to people showing off how they made their personal copy unique.RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389851788572591784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-8342481966715862802021-04-24T05:34:07.793-07:002021-04-24T05:34:07.793-07:00I remember seeing “Color me Beautiful” growing up!...I remember seeing “Color me Beautiful” growing up!

Sometimes, I just draw a blank on the topics and have to figure out how to make them work better for me. <br /><br />I remember one of my mom's friends coming to our house and doing colors for me, my mom, and my two sisters. My mom, my older sister, and I are all Autumns. My younger sister has lighter hair and eyes, so she was a Summer, I think. It was fun to do. <br /><br />Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marianne!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-44955122348653594872021-04-14T06:54:02.395-07:002021-04-14T06:54:02.395-07:00I hope they are!
