Butterfly kisses

Just wishing you all a very enchanted weekend!~

Visitors

I heard whispers in the wind say that you can have magical visitors if only you believe! Do you believe? These are magnificant little creatures from a movie that I adore. {{FairyTale~A true story}}.. It is such a must see if you love enchantment and magic! It will definitely take your mind of off present day issues, if only for a moment!

Hello

*Tears*

Hello~ I have to say thank you to all who left me such inspiring comments and emails. I can say I have done everything everyone suggested and although it took alittle while I feel so much better... But, what really made me feel better was all of you. The time you took to put in a comment and an email, the stories you've shared with me. I was looking so down on the world and then you guys pop up and do what you've done. How can I look down on the world knowing that you all are in it!!!!~


I have tears but they are now happy tears.. I'm not sure what happened to me but I can see I'm not alone! I have wept reading over what you all have wrote. I'm actually blown away at your responses. You all don't have to leave comments, but you do and that's what really turned me around.

I wish I could thank you all with something special but I don't know how or what to do so all I can say is THANK YOU!!!! And give you HUGE hugs! And I want you all to know that you have saved someone's soul... You showed you cared and I feel so much better...

It takes special people in this world to do that..... And, I'm lucky enough to know you!!!!!!!~
Take care sweet ones. And remember you have a true friend right here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silent Sadness

Hello~It took me along time to come on here and post an entry. I am feeling an incredible sadness. I am having some hard times here in my world. I won't bore you with them~ I have even cleared out my art studio. Ever since I had that awful flu I am not the same person any more and I don't like what I'm feeling. It feels as though I'm giving up, giving up on everything. You name it, it's been happening to me.... Even a tiny little thing as a swap gone bad! I sent out my swap and I never received mine. Down to the littlest things.... It's all going wrong. I have no energy, no vision, no imagination, no life left in me. I'm scared... It's a sadness that can't be explained~ I don't know what is happening to me. Everything I've loved before is a torture for me now. This big world is so full of mean people and people who will try to zap your imagination and ideas~ I'm so tired of it.. To the point that I don't even want to leave my home, but, I don't like my home! I'm trapped in a world I do not like. I don't know how to escape! I want to create and live in my own little world, but the environment and people around me are preventing that from happening. I need to get back to myself, or invent a new self. I just don't have the energy to try anymore. I've tried so hard to accept the things I have to live with, accept the place I live in, but, I can't do it anymore. I will always post on my blog~I'm just not sure how anymore~ I need my heart uplifted.....

Flu

I have been ill~ Yucky! I was in bed for 3 whole days. I've been sick for 5 days! But, I think I won't die!!!!~
I really thought I was!!!!~
Hope everyone is doing well~
Since I've been outta "commision" for a few days I don't really have much to post! I'm working on it though!!!!!~

SMILE~~~

HomeBound

Hello! I have been homebound due to our snow storm!~ UGH!! I love snow but, not on a weekend!!! hahaha... So, here's a few pics of my tiny attic space and my latest "altered top hat", number 2 in my "Altered Top Hat" series. And, of course the snow! I wish my attic was bigger! I go up there and sit sometimes. It's full of my treasures just waiting for my kids to get older so they can come out of the attic!!! (treasures, not the kids)!!! hahaha!~ I put all of my favorite things up there! It's sad really, I buy these great things and then I put them up there.. Is that an emotional disorder??!! hahaha~ One day I will enjoy my treasures, until then, I shall visit them! YEp, I think it's a disorder!!! Take care lovelies!!!!!~ (the beautiful brown shirt hanging on one of my mannequins below is from Pearl at Magnolia Pearl.. Can you believe she sent it to me as a gift!!) What a lady!!!!!~ She has a blog now.. http://www.magnoliapearl.com
