color me pretty: stripes and plaid

Hi there.  The final day of color week has arrived. For me it has been a lovely week filled with days spent searching for colors and having an excuse to peruse tons of nifty blogs -- many of which are new to me.  I have been able to keep my camera close by and have seen things a little differently, perhaps in better focus. Most importantly, I've used this week to slow down and take time to look around me, taking in my home and the world I walk around in (most usually in too big of a hurry). I wish I could remember to treat every week as color week...I'm going to try.

The last day is devoted to stripes and plaid. Here is what I saw:

Thanks to all of the wonderful participants for joining me this week. I wish I could have commented on every single post. I hope you'll join me for future color weeks.
Until next time...

Stay warm,
Leya

I am so happy I found your blog. I had so much fun unofficially playing along. It was a wonderful break from the winter blahs!

[Monica A]

Thanks so much for hosting this Leya.
I'll be looking around for future color weeks!
Enjoy your weekend!

[Hana]

Thanks for hosting such a fun color week for us all! So much daily beauty, from so many perspectives. I missed the official sign-up, but played along just the same - I'm so glad I did. xo

[Annie]

Thank you so much for hosting Color Week! It sure does make you open your eyes to the world around you.

[carrie]

Thanks for hosting. I look forward to the next one!

[sherri/the claw]

thanks, ley-d. it was a ton of fun and I got to see a lot of cool blogs I didn't know about, which is always good. have a great weekend.

[Leah]

Thankyou so much Leya! I had an incredible amount of fun and discovered loads of lovely blogs.

Others' participation in color week sent me to your blog, and I'm so glad it did! Good luck with graduate school. Having survived law school, I can't imagine being creative and bloggy while doing that and working, too. And I love the name Mortimer for a cat (he's darn cute, too)!

[Sarah]

Thank you for hosting! I came to the game kind of late, but I had a lot of fun searching for color and documenting what I found. I am definitely inspired to be more aware of color in the future.

This was great fun. Thanks so much for hosting such a fun project. I have added you to my reader so that I won't be late next time. :~)

Love the socks!!

[meg]

[emily]

this week was perfectly perfect. thank you leya!

[Rebecca]

Thank you so much for hosting the week of colour, it gave me the perfect opportunity to open my eyes to the colour around me, often in the most unexpected places. And also to discover some new blogs.

Thanks so much for the color week challenge. I had fun playing along and it was nice to actually post on my blog EVERY DAY. I tend to be a slacker. Looking at everyone's postings was so great, seeing the different blogs, what people photographed and posted...I hope to keep improving my blog, photography skills and writing. Thanks for the inspiration.

Some fun! Thanks sweetie!

[Janice]

hi - have stumbled across your pretty, pretty colourful photos. had a great time looking...

[alison]

I took too many photos of red things (by accident) to not have a red day... This was WAY too much fun Leya, thanks again for organising it!

I've found some great new blogs to visit, and some new ways of looking at my world, too.

[Nicole]

Thanks so much for hosting the lovely color week. It was a lot of fun to participate, and was a great way to check out some cool new sites!

[tstar]

I just found your blog and I love the idea of color week. I'm inspired. I can't wait to participate in the next round.
