dancing in the minefields..

new video... i tell my single friends that marriage is not all rosy, unless of course you include the thorns..

but the rosy parts can be VERY flowery indeed.. marriage is quite enjoyable.

sO, here's a sweet song.. to echo that thought. ;-)

enjoy.

=)

*stress*

yea.. i have two new stressful undertakings to add to my already sO busy life.

two NEW dresses for friends.. one is back for a second go-round! i'm happy about them, but realizing with my schedule that i'm craZy for saying yes.

i look forward to working on projects like these, though..

cutest lil' animillows! (i made that up..LOL)

a too cute floral purse!

a cute lil' giraffe friend who needs a new photo opp AND some added color.. (but still cute)

it definitely gives me sumthin to aim for. this year it's handmade Christmas gifts again..

i've done some VERY needful de-cluttering & still there's LOTS to be done, but i guess what i'm *trying* to say is that i hafta remember that STRESSED backwards is DESSERTS!!

yup. desserts.

sO, i'm *probably* gunna need a lot to make up for all of the stress goin' on in my life right now.

;-)

then i'll have to find out what FAT is backwards.. hee hee. eh heh.

furry friend..

we got a new kitty. his name is Meowy. (pronounced Maui)

he's as skittish as they come, but quite the affectionate feline.

cute, huh? =)

• 1. =)

A person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed blessed.

A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.

dear hippie dress:

she doesn't deserve you. price does not indicate your value. love does.

i loved you first.

honestly, i didn't have $400 layin' around. i tried to tell you that.

maybe you could sneak away. when you get this letter, send me a private message thru facebook and i'll send you my address.

the internet is just too creepy.

i still love you.

p.s. the REAL free people should've known that you and i belonged together. oh well. find me. i won't stop calling you mine.

hmmm...

funky decor!

... and of COURSE, it's from a free people store. i seriously can't get enough inspiration from this place! ha!!

u would think i have a wardrobe full of their clothing..

unfortunately, i don't.

i can't afford it.. LOL..

*BUT* we can ALL afford a few strips of polyester scarves cut and braided together to hang from our ceilings..

OR.. some old yarn tied around some "found" vessels to put on a dusty shelf..

OR..

some old bandannas from the thrift shop shredded to wrap around SOMEthing useful.

anyway you look at it, there's some AWESOME color awaitin' you.. if you're willing to be adventurous.

hmm.. QUESTION: what funky decor should i work on next...?

:)
