Howllo Fellow Hound and Pot-O-Gold Lovers:

As many of you will recognize, this is a page from the Lily book! Lily to left and Chloe to the right. You really must click on the image to get the full detail. For those of you who are familiar with photoshop, this image has over 100 layers. To wind up with this end product, which is page 24, took over 20 hours of design and technical work. That does not count the hours and hours for the conception and research. Yes, there was some research! LOL
I designed the Lily book with thousands of symbols and this page has many. The St. Patrick’s day theme was perfect for my message, that my hounds are what is in my pot-o-gold.

I searched for an image of a tub that was in my head for months. After I found it, through the magic of photoshop, I had it turned gold.

The claw feet on the tub are very special to me. My Great-grand Father cast these claws out of bronze. I believe they were used as feet to a grand dining room table. My Dad wound up with one of them and now I have it in my home as a door stop.

The view through the window is my backyard, but the sunset is from a trip to Nappa Valley. While dining on the back deck of Auberge du Soleil for my brother-in-law’s 40th birthday, I snapped it. Auberge du Soleil boast the grandest sunsets in the world. On that night, I would have to agree with them.

These are just a few fun facts you may not have known about the Lily Book.

So, on this St. Patrick’s day I ask. What is in your pot-o-gold?

Happy St. Patrick’s day and may the luck of the Irish be with you.
