Great purple list. Love those purple tulips. Love tulips but they are so expensive over here as we don't grown them over here. You can buy them only at flower shops and they can cost you a fortune.

Besides Amethysts I don't like purple very much and on top in Belgium it is the color for coffin decoration and other funeral stuff, lol !

Shari said...

I love lilacs, too. When I was growing up, we had a big lilac bush outside of one of the windows. Smelling lilacs brings back so many memories.

Love this list---because of the illustrations. I love anything colorful. Crayon pictures alone make me happy---but these were ALL good.

Mine:
13 Hearts

Fred and I were married in February and he gave me a ring one year with the amethysts in it...Blue is my favorite color, but purple and pink come in close...I have been trying to get over here all week and comment about Suzy..I am so excited for them and for you....We they find out the baby's sex before it is born??
Now Emma will have a kissing cousin..I love it...
