Day 20~ A Hobby of Mine

I actually have a good one for today, not like the monkey yesterday. I got a request to have a picture of me peeling the banana with my toes. The logistics of this have been difficult to figure out, so it is a pending operation!

I love making jewelry and wearing it! So, between these two hobbies I'm a happy camper!=-)

I love the way these swing!

I made these after my Mom had me take apart a pair of earrings that she didn't like and put them back together again in a way she liked better. I got to keep the bits she didn't like.

These were the bits she didn't like, I love the swirly luminescence. It makes me think of moonlight!=)

These I made after taking multitudes of these butterflies off of a pair of flip-flops. They jingled real pretty like, but they kept getting caught on things, so off they came!

Gold hoops, pink, white and green rhinestones, what could be better?=)

This is a necklace, but as I have yet to find a clasp and it is fastened with a silver safety pin *blush* So, I did not take a picture of the upper regions! I like the bird just on one side but the comment I get most is, it would be cute if only the bird was on both sides, did the other one fall off? *sigh*

I love friendship bracelets, but thought I was getting a wee bit old for them. Then I saw some fancier ones on a blog that I follow and decided that as long as they were fancy that I was like, totally not too old! ;)

Yes, again with this color pallet!

This is an anklet, I love the bubble like sheen on the center bead.

It's fancy because I don't just tie them on, see the button toggle closer in the back? That definitely makes it sophisticated, right?

Yes, another one! This ones a bracelet like the first one though.

I saw this idea some where but I recall the piece being at least $35 so I didn't buy it. It's basically a really long piece of braided leather like cord (only the best for me!) I braided a super long length and just wrap it around my wrist, ankle, around my neck, the possibilities are endless. Well, maybe not endless.....but there are at least a couple more I think.....=)

Day 19~ A Talent of Mine

I have soooo, many awesome and wonderful talents (is the sarcasm coming through here? It's hard to convey through print sometimes!) But I have a talent that by far outshines all others that I have come up against,

drum roll please!

Like my monkey friend here, I can peel a banana with my toes!

Day Eighteen~ A Time When You Felt Passionate and Alive

Maybe I'm just weird (that most definitely might be the case!) but I feel passionate and full of life allot of the time. There are times when, as Anne says, a thrill goes up my spine, like when I'm standing on the beach, reading a particularly good bit in a book, beautiful things, accomplishing something that I had always wanted to do but never managed to before right then for some reason or another.(Like getting my license and finally finishing my first book!)

But, for the most part, I'm always passionate about what I'm doing or seeing, that's probably why I'm such a messy cook, I get distracted by the art of it and forget about mundane things like paying attention the where that spoonful of batter just ended up!=)

At the drop of a hat I can go from normal to heroine in a book excited, sad, happy, angry, hmm, I sound like a joy to be around don't I? I'm shy so most people don't see this side of me, but when they see the loud talks with her hands, yelling, overly dramatic, sarcastic me I'm never sure how long they'll stick around.

So, all of that to say, the most recent time I felt passionate and alive was when I finally heard from someone who I think has been ignoring me, for some unfathomable reason!(the emotion is extreme annoyance by the way, if you are reading this!) While the question was answered the annoyance is still flaring. So, you know who you are and if you make it this far, I'm pretty annoyed with you right now! What on earth did I do to warrant this behavior?

Yipee!!

I would like to meet the newest addition to my little family, Roxie! She just came by Fed Ex today and my Dad helped me set her up. This is my first blog post using my very own lap top, hmm, the key board is laid out a little different making my hen pecking more erratic then normal! Oh well, I guess there is always a learning curve!! =) 

Day Seventeen~ A Piece of Art

Mmm, if this isn't a work of art I don't know what is.....hehe

No, really, this is the piece I thought of for today. I love Monet, the colors and techniques he uses just draw me in and capture my imagination. This piece is one of my favorites, she looks so wistful. I love to imagine what she's looking back at, is it a old flame? Maybe she was visiting the grave of someone close to her. I've come up with a million different scenarios!=)

Day Sixteen~ A Song That Makes You Cry

I don't cry at many songs, but for some reason this one always brings tears to my eyes!



It's not really the song that makes me cry, it's the video. The whole they both killed themselves and still ended up together idea is filled with holes, like suicide is a ticket to Hell, but my hopelessly romantic side persists in thinking differently! You have to hang in till the end, please!!!

Day Fifteen~ A Person You Admire

~My Friends!~

I've never had a group of girl friends before and the support system there is amazing! Through weddings, broken hearts, family problems, and just plain ol' boredom they are always there with a shoulder to cry on and advice. Full of fun and faith, I'm not sure what I would do without them. I love you guys!=)
