{Echo} Week 15- Rouge
Wednesday, June 2, 2010 at 4:42PM 
I chose rouge as Week 15's theme because my birthday is tomorrow... and quite simply... that deep shade of red is one of my absolute favorite colors. It evokes both passion and warmth. It transports me to moments that speak of ruby red lips and beautiful gowns. I think of all the delight that cherries, apples and strawberries bestow upon us or perhaps that cool crisp feeling that red & white together bring to me. The comfort of a deep red barn or the tint on someone's cheeks as they give one of those amazing, authentic, full-belly laughs.
I can't think of a better present than to be showered with your images featuring rouge.
What does it conjour up within you?

Susan & I invite each of you to participate in the project and show us your unique vision, your voice, your echo. Remember, to share your link in the comments here so if I get a chance to do a round-up I can add your site to the post, besides I don’t want to miss any of your stories.
- Go visit Susan’s Week 15 post for our other diptych.
- Our Flickr Group for the collab. ~ Join Us! Find a partner there, read the guidelines and more!
- Add the Echo button to your blog if you’d like! Get the code here
NOTE: I'm still taking a bit of a social media break as I focus on getting my new site finished, once and for all. . There, I will have larger images that you can breathe in a bit, a much better navigational system as well as a plethora of information. I am beginning to get really excited for it and hope you'll follow me there! Roadblocks keep taking away the time I allotted for it - my birthday wish is to complete it soon without interruption! I think I'll feel as if a weight has been lifted once it is complete.
You cans till join in on the 2 collaborative projects I will be hosting there -- information is on this post, leave a comment to sign up - and I'll contact you as soon as the time is right!
Warmly, Chrysti
P.S. With the new blog, I don't have the same restrictions! Trying something new - Post your {Echo} Week 15 - Rouge response below! Let me know what you think in the comments! This'll be a MUCH easier way to do a round-up:)
NOTE: For some reason it won't allow you to link to a flickr photo with the group address at the end. Omit that part for it to work. See example below:
Won't Work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrysti/2328297224/in/pool-1280575@N23
Will Work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrysti/2328297224
You could always link to your blog too! Let me know if you any questions, I want to make this as easy as possible for folks :)

Yep! You can also add it to the flickr group if you'd like, but isn't necessary!

Chrysti, I just finished the article you wrote in Artful Blogging. It was beyond inspiring and I hope to visit your blog on a regular basis. Your rouge images are beautiful. I will be spending some time browsing through this site. Thanks so much for your honesty and sharing your amazing talents.
