4 Stories: Color

This weeks topic is "Color".


One. Black and White
I went to bible school & lived in dorm for 1 year with 19 other students. We all became really close friends and on the last 19 days, each student had a day to be encouraged and the other students would share the great things they saw in you. On my day, my friend Tyler said something really special. He said, "Leigh-Ann, where the rest of the world sees things in Black and White, you see them in a million Colors." That was one of the first times in my life I felt unique, observed and understood. I really loved that someone saw inside my brain :)


Two. Favorite Color
Since I can remember, I've always had "a favorite color", ever changing, kinda like the 'flavor of the month'. I've went through the rainbow and cycled back on a few. And when I get a new favorite color, I become totally obsessed with it and everything is that color (my sis/bro tease me about it)!!


Three. Color by Catagory
As much as I love rainbows of color, the mixture drives me kinda crazy. I like it separated into piles or glass jars so each color is on it's own, nothing touching.


Four. The Crayon Box
When I bought my first house, I was extremely eager to make each room really interesting and colorful! I pulled paint chips for hours, made diagrams of different combinations and proudly bought 7 different cans of paint (greyish purple, schoolbus yellow, olive green, red, white and elk tan & 'swiss coffee white' for ceilings and trims). We painted for days (got a little buzzy from too much fumes) and when it was done, I was one happy girl... my house had quite the personality! Then a friend came over and declared it "the Crayon Box". It's since been painted a light seaglass blue throughout (minus the kitchen and guest room) and now I like to use color in 'punches' and in moderation, but I'll never regret making my Crayon Box come true :)
