I hope that you had a beautiful and restful weekend. My weekend was very jammed, very fun and a bit exhausting. I plan on deliberately slowing down this week - or at least as much as my Type A personality will allow.
So, now you are probably wondering about my title - Blue Magnolia - well, let me explain. Since I began blogging six months ago, my intention was to include my personal artwork, information about launching a creative business, feature creative bloggers and artists, and include beautiful images that I find around the web.
I recently decided to start a tumblr page to store images and their links, so when I need a particular look for my post, I just hop on over to my page and flip through my saved images until I find just what I need. To be honest, I don't know all the ins and outs of tumblr - it just seems like a good place to save everything - including time.
Now, why Blue Magnolia? Well, I will tell you...when I was growing up, my grandmother had an enormous magnolia tree in her front yard (she lived in New Orleans) and I just loved to sit under the tree, smell the sweetness of the giant white blossoms and just be plain lazy. My grandmother loved the color blue, so there you have it!
Just having this page is a reminder to me of the old beauty of New Orleans and the wonderful summers spent with her and my grandfather. Thinking about that time makes me wish that I could go back - for just a day.
