What is imagination really? Maybe it’s just the little brother of Miss Creativity? I don’t know about you, but for me, this phrase by Einstein resonate: “Imagination is more important then knowledge“. No need to be a super eccentric individual to be imaginative (or to believe in unicorns, for that matter) … but to be able to imagine a different world and extraordinary things; is a bit like adding color to an otherwise very grey world.
L’imagination, qu’est-ce que c’est, au juste? Peut-être est-ce juste le petit frère de Mam’zelle Créativitée? Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais pour moi, il y a une phrase d’Einstein qui m’interpelle vraiment: “L’imagination est plus importante que la connaissance“. Pas besoin d’être un individu super excentrique (ou même de croire aux licornes) … mais juste le fait d’ être en mesure d’imaginer un monde différent, et des choses extraordinaires; c’est un peu comme ajouter de la couleur à un monde quelquefois un peu trop… gris.

Yes, 3 times pink! Dont know about you, but on my side, always had a love-hate relationship with the color Pink. So when I saw that the Collage Obsession Challenge of the week was “Pink”, well I was like “Ho-ho”. It is actually the Pantone 2011 color of the year (Did you know? I bet you did!) … the Honeysuckle pink. So I decided to make a list of what’s pink (and looks good) and what’s pink (and looks… too much pink)
My 5 Top Cute pink list:
- Pink cheeks (small baby sleeping… cuteness x 10)
- Cosmos (the flower, not the real cosmos, it’s not pink, I know that)
- A simple summer dress. Simple. No frou-frou… no pompom.
- A sunset (yeah, you know the kind)
- Peppermints. (I mean, would you eat them if they were black? or grey? I dont think so)
My 5 not so cute pink list:
- The “girl aisle” in the toy section at the store. I know, pink is like a magnet for little girls. But I am not little anymore. And I always try to avoid eye contact with that aisle.
- Cupcakes (is it me or… did’nt we get to see too much of those.)
- Unicorns (nothing to add here)
- Cats, or rabbit, or dogs… should NOT be pink. (Plush or real. It’s disturbing)
- Plastic flowers (ok, it’s bad enough they are plastic… if they are both plastic AND pink, we are doomed.)
