So Many Posts….So Little Time….

It feels SO good to be back and I am SOOOO glad I am out of the hospital, but this week has made me realize that I am far from 100%  There are SOOOO many things that I would love to blog right now, but it seems like I just cannot get things moving as quickly as I would like. ...

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.

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 ...

To use it, you first need a tube. You can either make your own, or simply import my premade Da Vinci circle with mystical carvings. (Source: Da Vinci.zip. Please see ...
