SAY WHAAAAAAAT WEDNESDAY?

WEDNESDAY, WEDNESDAY.....BACK AGAIN!!!!
Thank you so much everyone for answering my question last week
about what we wanted to be when we grew up.....fun answers!!!
AND for reading the interview where i was featured....
that was fun!!!!

so...i am coming upon my anniversary which made
me think of today's question....

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR DREAM
DESTINATIONS AND WHY???


(me overlooking the Amalfi Coast)
mine was Italy for so many reasons but probably
the most important is my heritage and also my husband's.
(and it IS where i said "i do" to my prince charming!!)

it was a dream come true trip....
one that created unending memories.
the beauty that is Italy cannot be fully captured in pictures,
it is something you have to see for yourself!!

next on my list...Nashville, TN and Austin, TX
together with Ireland!!

also....

(painting i did inspired by looking out my front window)

i am hopeful many things are starting to bloom
all around you as spring is in full swing with
summer right around the corner!!

sending love

  1. I can't believe it's already Say What Wednesday! Italy . . how romantic that must have been--what a gorgeous picture! Right now I'm dreaming of New Orleans . . . I grew up relatively close to there but have never been. Probably I'm just cravin grits or something . . .

  7. I love your say what wednesdays!

    My dream destination right now is South American, I've been dreaming about doing a trip to Peru!

    No real apparent reason actually - seen it in a travel magazine and fell in love with it.

    I like traveling off the beaten path, it allows more time to take in what you are seeing, and for self reflection!

  8. Italy...how romantic! *sigh*
    My dream destination is Spain...not really sure why, but it is at the top of my "to do" list.

  11. Well, ever since we've had dogs and motorhomes, my husband doesn't want to leave the country. Don't get me wrong - there is tons to see and appreciate here, but I have been longing for a more distant destination -Tahiti, maybe? Or New Zealand? I trekked all over Europe with a backpack when I was 20 - saw a little of Greece and would absolutley LOVE to see more. Wednesday hugs to you!!

  12. Kolleen, I LOVE your painting! And my place would be Greece. I'd love to spend a whole summer there. My fav food. Italy would be nice too though:-)
    Miss you pretty lady. I'm swamped with orders and super happy about it!
    Hugs,
    Kelly

  13. Kolleen you are SO beautiful and your blooming new painting does make me think of spring and feel grateful. I can't believe you got married in Italy! That is so fantastic. My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Italy and loved it beyond words. I really want to go to Portland and Austria. I love mountains!

  14. Happily, I have made it to many of mine. Except somehow my list seems endless. ;)

    Dream destinations would be Africa (safari)), Bhutan/Nepal (the festivals and the people and the beauty), Morocco (the exotic-ness of it and the markets), Antarctica (penguins and blue icebergs) and the Galapagos Islands (one of my dreams is to take a photo of this bird that has blue webbed feet, the blue-footed booby). Oh, and Greece for the history. And Egypt for the pyramids and sphinx and Nile. (Like I said, I have a very long list.)

    I had planned to visit the Galapagos this year but decided to postpone it due to the whole career change thing. :)

  15. Kolleen!

    Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes! I highly recommend suprising your sweetheart with a surprise weekend.;)
    Your wedding sounds like a fairy tale! I have always wanted to go to England and get my picture taken in front of a castle wearing a fabulous princess dress. I'm working on making it a reality. Thanks for being so open about sharing your art with us, it's beautiful!

    Love to you,
    Jenny

  16. Better late than never -
    For me, it is Italy and Napa Valley - of course when I am NOT pregnant :)

    Happy Anniversary.

  17. Stopping by from Kelly's. My oldest daughter lives in Nashville. Was just there about a week ago. You'd probably love it except it is pretty much under water now!
