Day after Christmas...time marches on!

This was our Christmas tree this year. The lights on it are those new LED type bulbs. They really were brighter then the regular ones. I guess they are better for energy conservation since they last longer etc... We had a few emotional happenings this year so it was hard to get into the "spirit" of the season. As a family we all decided to get the decorations up and carry on with the holidays the best we could. By doing this we began to feel the spirit enter our thoughts and hearts each day.

"Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand". -- Dr. Seuss

This is a clip of the "Clark Brothers"... I'm keeping my eye on these guys! Music just might go back to real talent and not the manufactured kind we're all being board to tears with!

Never know what to post...

I have the Somerset Studio "The Artful Blogger" and am just absolutely in love with all the ladies featured in it! Well, I haven't quite finished reading it so I'm assuming they are all women's postings... Anyway, I have had it since October I think, but am reading it really slow so I can savor every single word, picture and thought that is involved in the beautiful publication. I feel that 's how you should eat your "cream cheese pie" as well...very slow, focusing on every aspect of that yummy treat!

I am not much of a poster here on my little blog. I think I get intimadated by all the ones I am reading about. I know, I know...I can hear you all moaning about how a blog is not suppose to be a burden and ther is not right or wrong! BUT! I still seem to sit down and go blank most every time I sit down in front of the blank screen. Kinda like a big piece of white paper I guess.

My good friend Mary says we have a "odd ball" home decor and I should just take a picture of little areas here and there and post about that. So this is my first attempt at that!

Below is my dresser. What do I say about that? Well... to the left I have a little shrine for my Mom and to the right there is a sculpture of a mermaid I made with polymer clay. In the middle is my Brighton jewelry tree and above my favorite kid book is a picture of Brad Pitt! Oh yes and this is a regular picture taken on a regular camera and sent to me by his Grandma via a family member who use to live next door to her...I love this pic but don't really display it because he didn't spell my name the way I spell it, which shows I don't really know Brad personally at all! Boo!

I do want to say "have a great hair day"! Becci

I'm "jewelry rich!"

I absolutely love making necklaces like this! I feel "jewelry rich" because I can make as many of them as I want to in any style, size, color, for any occasion that I want to! If I were to buy a one of a kind little piece of collage art like this one of my sweet cat "Wiggles" to the left, I would have to pay $150.00 or more for each one! I already have necklaces and bracelets that might add up to hundreds & hundreds & hundreds of dollars! I'm stopped by strangers when I'm out and about asking me where I got my necklace. When I say I made it their eye balls bug-out and they say "WOW do you sell them"? No0ooo... I don't sell them but I really need to do that. There are a few neat little gift shops that would gladly do that for me I bet. Orrr... I could sell them at the salon to my customers...Hummm good idea...
