Celebrating the sun all weekend, and the listing of my sunshine inspired Toekini's, here is Coldplay and " Yellow ". Fittingly, the video is on a beach, tho the weather is not ideal.  Coldplay - New Music - More Music Videos This made me think of, well what else, my newest sunkissed yellow Toekini's!

It was dated, dark, and just not right.  Bring in Judy, aka Portable Graffiti Graphics , and my husband, and voila! The fresh new Raige. That makes it sound like it was easy. Well, as Judy found out, it never is that easy with me. Indecisive, picky, and often slow to respond, I changed my mind several times.  My husband, who may be a touch pickier than me, would add his opinion and a bit of his artistic critique, and we would be back to the drawing board.
