Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli.  This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy.  When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why.  I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick.  The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little.  There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

   Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora.  I still do not remember how I found it.  It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain.  But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

    A while back my wonderful partner, Vanish suggested that I stop making my blogs SOOOO detailed and just blog about the one or two items of each outfit that really caught my attention.  That is SOOOO hard to do when there are SOOOO many pretty things just staring back at you!  The funny thing about it, is that this outfit ...

The Other Side

by El | 0 » | Jun30 10
My Precious Husband, I know that we will come across many hard times in our lives. I guess that is the “downside” of choosing to live this life over and over. Unfortunately, it is fraught with pain and heartache, but it is a price we consider worth paying to be with each other. This...is one of those hard ...

The House That V Built

Thank you love for taking me today to all the new places you have built for us. It is a place that feels safe and secure, protected from the “outside”. It was comforting to know that it was OURS and that pretty much NO ONE can find us there unless we invite them. Yes, there are some ...

My precious husband, Have I told you how much I love you? How that my every thought is of you? Have I told you how much you mean to me and how you affect my life? Have I told you that when I close my eyes it is your face I see? And when I look deeper....when ...

A Learning Process

by El | 0 » | Jun26 10
My mother used to always tell me that when one door closed another would open. She was always right. Of course, almost everyone knows that to be true, it is not a life changing piece of knowledge for most, but mother had a tendency to just “know” things...and often had dreams that really happened. There were many, ...
