There are lots of memories inside our minds - sometimes we just need a little nudge to coax them out.
What are the first things that come to mind when you READ this:
1. On our way to various conventions we frequently have the opportunity to drive though Charleson, West Virgina. I am always captivated by the WV Capitol building. The beautiful ornate dome is gold and sparkles in the sun.
2. I love to take photos of water when it sparkles in the sun. I am usually disappointed in the result; but, I've taken some really nice "sparkle" shots with a "star filter" attached to my lense.

3. One of my favorite watches is a Mickey watch with pave crystals that sparkle. Kevin bought it for me as an anniversary gift.
4. One of my favorite decorations for cookies is sanding sugar - it makes the cookies sparkle.
5. One of my favorite craft items are Stickles. I love that they are easy to use and they make stuff sparkle! (How did we ever get by without them!)

Nothing "Sparkles" like the icicles on the trees overhanging our backyard creek during the few snowy winters we experience in North Carolina. My brother is an artist who photographs and paints those beauties, and I love to scrapbook them using Mosaic Moments to create a wonderland of my own!

1. Fireworks - since it's still July.
2. The way the sun shines on the lake - look likes sparkling diamonds.
3. Freshly cleaned jewelry sparkles.
4. I too like stickles, fine glitter and diamond dust.
5. Sometimes new fallen snow/ice sparkles in the sun light.
