Kitty Love and a First Try Effort

~*:: My favorite place in the sun to watch those pesky birds::*~

~*:: Aww, can't a girl have some privacy?  Stinkin' Papparazzi::*~

~*:: zzzzzz, snore, zzzzz...too...pooped...from...running...with...girls::*~




And, a first for me....my very first wrapped focal pendant in gold vermeil, pink topaz, peridot, mystic topaz and plum quartz.  I need to rewrap the coiled bail as I pinched it too tight and marred the back surface (#@$^$$^&&$%^&*!!!!)  But, I'm proud of my first attempt at trinkets that are a bit more ornate than I usually would do. 

More of this to come, I promise!

I'll play along...if i were



**photo courtesy of free e-cards**

if i were a month i'd be September with crisp air and a kaleidoscope of colors,

if i were a day i’d be autumn equinox,

if i were a time of day i’d be sunset, with brillinat colors dancing through the sky,

if i were a font i’d be something scrolled, ornate and complicated,

if i were a sea animal i’d be a dolphin,

if i were a direction i’d be northwest,

if i were a piece of furniture i’d be

a soft comfortable couch...the kind you could sink into and not want to leave

if i were a liquid i’d be olive oil...nourishing to the body and the soul,

if i were a gemstone i’d be labradorite, flashy and mysterious

if i were a tree i’d be apple,

if i were a tool i’d be a hammer,

if i were a flower i’d be an iris of the most glorious blue purple color,

if i were an element of weather i’d be wind,

if i were a musical instrument i’d be a violin,

if i were a color i’d be cerulean blue,

if i were an emotion i’d be love,

if i were a fruit i’d be a cantaloupe,

if i were a sound i’d be the laughter of a child,

if i were an element i’d be air,

if i were a food i’d be creamy rich tallegio cheese, slightly tangy and salty but oh so irresitable,

if i were a place i’d be the Mediterranean,

if i were material i’d be silk,

if i were a taste i’d be pistachio gelato,

if i were a scent i’d be bergamot, sandalwood, neroli, rose and ripe fruit,

if i were a body part i’d be an eye,

if i were a song i’d be Mercy,

if i were a bird i’d be a Chickadee,

if i were a gift i’d be a loving embrace,

if i were a city i’d be Florence,

if i were a door i’d be a glass door that let sunlight in,

if i were a pair of shoes i’d be sexy slingbacks,

if i were a poem i would be this: Footprints...because God is always there to lift you up, even when you feel that he isn't there.


This moment of self indulgence was inspired by Debi over at Emmatree and Graciel of Evenstar Art.

If you'd like to play along, I'd love to find out what you'd be.  Leave a comment with a link to your post.  Thanks, my lovely friends!

The Truest Me


This is me
the girl that danced
to hand me down 45's
because there wasn't enough money
for her ballerina dreams
singing and dancing her heart out
in the mirror

This is me
the girl who picked up
stones and pebbles
along the littered streets
because they were pretty
and different
solid and permanent
unlike her life

This is me
the girl who loved to read
by the window in the rain
the pitter patter of drops
to take me away
where the world was not full
of chaos
enchanted by fairy tales
and princes that always
saved the day

This is me
the girl who thought
that she could save the world
with kindness and love
only to be shown
that the loveless
and unkind
sit at the top

This is me
the girl who believed that
she would be something
other than ordinary
who would lead a life
of exploration and wonder
her name not just a number
but a force
to be recconed with

This is me
the girl who was, is
a dreamer
who still believes that good can win
and that you shouldn't compromise
your soul for frivolous things
that still longs for the day
that she can sing on stage
unafraid of singing off key
the girl that yearns for happiness
and fulfillment
in the little things

I am the girl of my past
and the woman of my future

This is the truest me

Create Your World

Create your world as you would see fit

surround yourself with all that you can imagine
and make it a reality
start from the bottom up
and clean out the debris of yesterday
of negativity and doubt
of self sabotage and fear

Create the beauty that you want to behold

declutter your task list with wasteful items
and fill it with anything that makes you smile
a walk in the park
playing with children
reading a good book
fill it with anything that advances your soul

Create the person you would like to be

forget the status quo and be true to yourself
plan your future for what you want
not for what you are told to be
make your blissful life in your mind
then write it out
act it out
shout it out
become the happiness
that resides within

Create your world to be perfect for you
and take a chance on yourself
You'll be so glad that you did!

Kitty Update

~*:: Loving the attention, just scratch a little more to the right, that's it::*~
I  know that many of you have been following the kitty saga, so here are some new pictures of our lovely lasses. Ginny has really warmed up to us and actually spends a decent amount of time with us now, Bella on the other hand has kept her distance.  She will come up to eat in the night and will play with Ginny and Coco at night (thye're as loud as a heard of elephants sometimes, I tell you), but otherwise, she's still not ready for complete lovin'.  So we'll give her the breathing room that she needs. 
~*:: Eating treats right out of the girls hands::*~
~*:: Look at me, so beautiful::*~
~*:: I don't like paparazzi::*~
The three muskateers, fighting for treats in the kitchen.
