Pink Saturday Featured Blog

 

This week I am featuring Bill at WJC's Degital Designs.  Bill first participated in Pink Saturday in June 2009.  Let me tell you, Bill is one incredibly artistic and talented guy.  He always pulls me in with the creativity and thought-provoking pieces he creates.  I would love to be able to sit down and chat with Bill.  I can only imagine he is a lively conversationalist.  Be certain to do yourself the favor of going to visit and getting to know Bill.  His blog is a treat for the eyes.  Now, get on over to say hello and introduce yourself, and remember I told you that you were going to like Bill.   

Take a minute to go meet Bill, and please introduce yourself.

 

Bill has written the follow message to you.

• Bill at WJC's Digital Designs

Hello fellow pink aficionados! My name is William Charlebois. I’m one of the few guys who are brave enough to create blog posts for Beverly’s Pink Saturdays. I love creating digital art, but also create multimedia paintings, chunky books, ATC’s, and whatever else the muse may inspire. I especially love creating zetti and steampunk pieces. I’ll have Beverly post one or two of my digital pictures here so you can get an idea of my style. Sometimes I get pretty crazy!

 

 

By the way, I also love to write. I write poetry that I include in many of my pictures. I also wrote a sci-fi/fantasy novel titled "Dragon Vapors" that you will find advertised in the sidebar of my blog. If you should by chance choose to read that, you'll find out what real craziness is!

 

I was thrilled when Beverly asked me to be the “featured blog” for this Saturday. I hope you will surf over and see what I’ve posted. I’m afraid I got up on my soapbox, though. Like a previously featured blogger, I get really upset when I hear people say, “Blue is for boys, and pink is for girls.”  Why, Dusty Rose was the main color of our wedding when my wife and I got married 31 years ago! Oh shoot. Now you know I’m kind of old. Well, please come visit me and my blog anyway. The link is: http://wjcsdigitalworld.blogspot.com/

Please e-mail me if you are interested in being

the featured blog at a future date.

 

Thank you,

Beverly

Today my Pink Saturday share is

 

Contessa de Santiago.

 

This is one of the roses

 

growing in our garden.

 

I love the color combination of

 

yellow and pink.

 

And, the pink becomes even

 

more prevalent as the bloom ages.

Your roses are always amazing....just like YOU!

Hope you don't have too much of a rotten weather gift from Irene!! Can I tell you how beautiful it is in KC....and how it's supposed to be that way through the weekend? FINALLY..we're getting a break.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow as I sit beneath a tree with my little table of Fall decor..enjoying the weather...and hoping for folks to show up and shop!

HPS!!! L, Dana

Hi Beverly. Thank you for pink Saturday. I love those roses. Such special colors
Happy pink Saturday

[Marianne]

Your roses are absolutely gorgeous! Wonder if they would grow in Arizona. Hmmm.

[William Charlebois]

Wow! I guess you could tell from one of the pictures of mine you chose to post that I love roses. The picture of your rose bush is just stunning! It must be an off-shoot of the Peace rose. The colors are the same, but so much brighter. Now I'm in the mood to start ordering some roses to plant here next spring. I had so many expensive, old-fashioned roses planted at our first house. We only have a couple of rose bushes here, and they have reverted to whatever stock they were grafted to. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful picture!

Oh. If you do get caught in the hurricane, remember to keep your head low! :O)

[Jennifer Scull]

love the art being shown today. so unique and amazing! your roses are so beautiful! how funny that you are talking about pink & yellow, when my card for Pink Saturday is both pink & yellow, too. ;)
have a most beautiful Pink Saturday to you! thanks for all you do!

[Emily]

Happy Pink Saturday Beverly. Thanks for introducing Bill, his art is amazing and I look forward to paying him a visit. Your Contessa de Santiago Rose is beautiful. The yellow with the pink outer petals make for a lovely color combination in a rose.
Thanks for hosting, always fun.

I just LOVED reading Bill's post above!!! It felt for a bit as if Homer were the Guest Blogger, and then it was like one of those enchanting pictures where you look, and wonder, and then you hold your eyes JUST RIGHT, and all is revealed.

This was SUCH FUN!!

Hi Miss Beverly! I linked my "Yoplait Pink Lid" Prize giveaway. I hope that is okay. It is just such an important cause and I want every woman to be aware and take care of herself regarding breast cancer! Thank you for hosting and have a fun weekend!

[Miss Kathy]

Hiya Beverly! Getting ready to close up the office here in preparation for Hurricane Irene. I've posted about the last time I weathered a hurricane - and how the Lord pulled me through the storm! Very PINK indeed! I hope things are back on track - we totally expect to lose power and have many inconveniences in the aftermath of the storm so I'm not sure when I'll be back in the blog groove. Hope it's soon! Keep all us east coaster in prayer if you can.
Joy!
Miss Kathy

[Grace P]

Happy Pink Saturday! Trying to get ready for the storm taking all the plants in and outdoor furniture. I hope Irene goes away into the sea and doesn't harm anyone! I love the rose Beverly! I hope everyone in Irenes path is safe. Grace

[Pieces of Sunshine]

Beautiful roses! It must be a joy to watch it unfold and then change colour over the days.

[Sue]

Hellllloooo Beverly...you know I love your roses, and this year even more because mine are kaput from the extreme heat. Even though I've been watering them as much as possible, the leaves are so burned. I'm hoping for cooler weater into September so they fully bloom. So, I'm really going to enjoy seeing yours, and the pink and yellow are soooo beautiful. Happy Pink Saturday!!!!

[Kay Ellen]

Happy Pink Saturday and so many pretties to see. I reviewing all the lovely blogs, while we have electricity (Irene) What a week, earthquake (50 miles away), smoke from Dismal Swamp (50 miles away), and now Irene is a-comin. But tidewater area of VA is so beautiful, the other 51 weeks of a year make up for this week.

Hi Bev,

Lovely roses. I am very intimidated to grow roses, I have never had any luck. Yours are so beautiful. I would love to grow roses by my windows and smell them while I was sleeping. Maybe one day I will try again. Have a great weekend and thanks for the great pink party.
