New beedz, new auctions...........

Hey Peeps!
Spent my day transferring over my beads from Etsy to Auction Style at http://www.justbeads.com/

I dont know about you, but
I LOVE Halloween !!
Maybe its because I have a birthday right near Halloween?

Maybe its because I enjoy playing dress up and wearing things I normally would not....its a great excuse, right?
Who needs an excuse to play dress up anyway?

Carefully choose what you wish for.....

I love birthdays.

What a great reason to eat buttercream icing. Not that you really need a reason, but C'mon now...who honestly NEEDS a reason??

But even better, is watching my kids faces light up, when I lite a candle on each cupcake and hand it to them...

You see, each cupcake with a lit candle, represents a "Wish"....you get ONE wish & you better think fast....
Choosing to carefully wish your wish.....

There's nothing better in the world, than buttercream icing and a wish...
Sometimes I wish I were a kid again....
Skinned knees are alot easier to fix than a broken heart......................

Is everyone getting ready for Halloween, or is it just me?
I LOVE fall!

She stands 1.5" tall and I will wire wrap er' fer ya, so you can wear her around your neck if you choose to do so. Otherwise, she can stand alone.
You can email me or comment once a day, if you do both, then you get 2 hits for the day.
I will be writing down first names of everyone that either comments OR emails.

Speaking of standing alone...............
Sometimes its good to stand alone.....Even if your lonely, its better to be alone and at peace, then with someone whos toxic and steals all of your peace. Your still alone, only miserable too.

Standing alone is good. Its healthy. Its brilliantly smart in some cases....its liberating, its scary, its fun, but most of all, you realize again, how beautiful & simple, life really is.............
Funny how we forget that when were with a person that cant see what you see.

So I stand alone.
I feel good.
Have a great T.G.I.F. Free Beady Friday!!!
