Today's Created By Hand Challenge is "colors blue and sand". Having just made a mermaid ATC yesterday and with the stamps still out on the worktable to be cleaned, an ocean theme was my first thought. However, today was the first day I turned my ceiling fan on after the furnace came on for the last time less than three days ago. Oh this Mojave Desert weather can be fickle. The title is a typical desert rat's response to people who ask "How can you stand to live there?" Stamps from Taylored Artwork (title), Stampin' Up (rocks), After Midnight (plants).
