"Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated."

I'm still here!

Just very, very busy!

Okay.

This is big.

*deep breath*

This past weekend I attended a seminar called "The Landmark Forum" - and it changed me.  I went in wanting to gain more confidence, and I came out with sooo much more~!

I can hardly contain myself!

The world seems wider now, and I'm not afraid to speak up! I'm not afraid of what people think of me. You know why?

Because people who don't know me are afraid of me. THEY are afraid of what I'LL think of THEM!!!

HA!!!!! Get it? How could anyone be afraid of me? Little ol' me???
But they are. They toooootallly are. Knowing that makes me dangerous... I'm not limited to someone else's expectations. I'm only limited by the ideas I can create for myself.

I'm free to think bigger, and be the amazing person that my family sees when they look at me. Something I never believed before. I'm beautiful. I'm intelligent.

I'm dangerous. XD

It's a lightness of being I can honestly say that I haven't experienced in a long, LONG time. On my way to Toronto today, I was able to hold my head up, and look around at the life I had been missing. This past weekend I confronted that fact that I've let years pass me by - years that I can never get back.

But that's okay. Because it's in the past. Passed. Gone. It's not here. Whatever I have done in the past it just that, and the future is now clearer.

I have the present, and I wanna make the most of it. So I gotta hold my head up.





Cool, huh?

I don't know if you understand what I'm talking about, but I had to share. I had to tell everyone I could that I feel soooo. much. better.

Check out the website.

See if you want a change for yourself too.

Someone cared enough about me to tell me about Landmark, and I want to share that same amazing rollercoaster ride with you.

Open yourself to the possibility of what one weekend can offer.

A few shots of Kells in the snow from before Christmas.

Before I dropped my old camera, lens first into the snow, and then before Kells toppled over backwards into the snow. XD

My Secret Santa items arrived this week!!!

It was a surprise because I was focused on getting my own done and out the door! (It will arrive by Christmas, I promise - even if I have to pay an arm and a leg to do it!)

I suck at choosing gifts for others, if I don't know EXACTLY what they would like. But I hope this little package will be well received.  :D

Look at what Santa sent Percy and Marina!!!
(crappy pics with FLASH! since I'm using my old camera...)

A new bike for Percy...


And a gorgeous corset for Marina.
(Santa should get those elves to make more clothes for her - this fits perfectly!)
Now I must make a skirt to match.



THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I haven't mentioned it before - but yes!

School is over for this semester!!!

So I celebrate by posting pics of Kells taken at a recent meet that took place just over a week ago. I could have stayed home to work on my portfolio for assessment, but I'd been designing, and doing homework as hard as I could - so I deserved the quick break.

I tried to get at least one picture of everyone's doll, and I think I almost did it, but that left me with dozens of photos to resize!

In the meantime, take a peek over at DoA to see mah piccies of Kells. :)

If I were in some campy 60's (60's really?) show about a certain superhero, that's probably the words that would appear around my head after the MASSIVE enabling bomb that someone dropped today.

It also has my wallet begging, begging, BEGGING for mercy. XD

CROBIDOLL released new dolls  - and I think it is my lot in life to own a bunch of SD boys.
