Moxie Monday: Mimosa from SEI

You’re on a tropical island sitting on the beach. You can hear the rhythmic crash of the waves as seagulls chime without care in the distance. The wind blows softly through your hair as you turn the next page in your captivating book. You can smell the clean sea air and feel its moist coolness on your cheeks as you soak up the sun like a sponge.

Near your fingertips, nestled snugly in the sand is a cool drink, the droplets of condensation on the glass dripping like rain as the temperature rises. Finding yourself a touch thirsty, you lick your lips with your tongue in response and reach for…

…one of these from SEI:

Mimosa (Shimmer)

Mint Julep (Shimmer)

Daiquiri (Glitter)

Margarita (Glitter)

Sangria (Glitter)

Mimosa Velvet Paper

Pink Lady (Pearl)

Cut in a neat wedge, floating in the glass is one of these:

Key Lime

Mango

Feeling deliciously refreshed, you decide to put a flower in your hair and reach for one of these:


Thing is, you don't really have to be on a beach to enjoy these succulent papers. All you need to do is leave a comment by midnight MST on Sunday, July 12 telling me which you like most and why and I'll select two random winners to receive this delectable collection.


Now friends, before we break our oceanside reverie, I just want to remind you that today is the last day to enter our Lovely as a Tree Challenge. I will post the winners on Wednesday and I'd love for you to be one of them! Click here for the details and here to post your project in our gallery.

Feeling easy and breezy,

~Cath
