Photo Challenge - Sparkle!

Hello everyone! hope that your week is off to a successful start...I have been busy creating and things to share with you soon...

I also wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone that viewed my Etsy Shoppe video and the ones that purchased...thank you everyone, it means so much.

Now onto today's post, that being the photo of the week, if you read last weeks post, I said that I was taking on a photo challenge once a week, held by the very talented Carly...to view my post from last week, go HERE.

This week, Carly set the challenge to be Sparkle..so this could be a broad range of things..for me, I had to have my thinking cap on as to what was really going to represent that for me.

I chose this photo below, as it not only Sparkles, but it also holds a sentimental value to me...when I turned 21 my Aunt brought me this beautiful crystal rose bowl, all the crystals and the bowl were from one of the crystal companies she had visited when she was in England...she safely brought it home with her and presented it to me on my day...I remember sitting just starring at it and being completely mesmerized by the sparkle and the beauty that it held.

This beautiful rose bowl, now sits pride and place in my little cottage and really fits well into my decor....

So that is my take on this weeks challenge...

I will be back next week with another photo challenge with you and I will have another crafty share with you all tomorrow...

Have a truly wonderful day!

Hugs

I love the colors in this photo! The blues are a beautiful contrast to the wood grain.

You've done a great job with this challenge Joy... and so much more with the sentiment behind the image. That will make the journalling part nice and easy to do. Just love the way the focus is on the crystals leading back to the bowl.
