Challenge today is to be inspired by our home state etc.
I moved to Florida when I was 14 and lived there for most of the next 27 years. Four years ago we moved to Upstate New York, but now we are moving back to Florida.. I don't really like the heat in Florida, but I'm not getting any younger and I don't plan on shoveling snow when I'm 80.. Our plans are to be snow-birds...
So when I was 14, I had a bright orange bathing suit, yup my favorite color.. My first year there, I got FRIED from the sun... Which brings me to my image today and my title. I will always feel like Florida is my home...
Gigi on tube digi is from There's magic in the air
Sharky digi is from Dustin Pike
I used bic markers on the metallic dots for the color I wanted, I used vellum over the water. I paper pieced the tube and umbrella.
Thanks for looking

So you're moving back to Florida, huh? Well, I cant say that I blame you. That NYS weather is more than most people bargain for. I love your story and the image is just a hoot. How sweet to add that fish and waves.
