Accessories.....I LOVE THEM


I LOVE ACCESSORIES.......If you know me, you know that I'm always done up to the T when it come to accessories. As you can see in this pic of me that I love to be all done up. For church 2 Sundays ago and I was at my dads little church in Oscoda, MI...

One Easter Tom had to work on Easter so I made a big meal for all the guys at the pizza place so I thought warring my tiara would be a great idea....

And even all gleamed up to do some shooting this summer ;)


Here is a little looking into my Jewelry Box......





So the other weekend when I was at my dads church I was talking about how I love accessories, but I have a even bigger love for vintage Jewelry. One of the ladies at the church was so kind to give me some of her grandmothers stuff so I'm so excited to ware it and also make stuff out of the broken things.

So I cleaned it up



And put it out to dry...The best way to clean your jewelry is with warm water and a little dish soap.




I have NO idea were the love of Jewelry and Hair accessories came from because trust me NO ONE in my family is like me. I'm super excited to see whats going to come from the stuff that was broken....I will post them when I'm done.


Till Next Time......

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow


Well if it was Christmas time I would be singing I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. But I would have stopped singing that last night at 11:30pm when we had to move the cars, because 12in of snow had fallen and the plow tuck was here and we had to make room for the snow :(

I was cozy in my bed watching smallville so I was a little up set that I had to throw my jeans back on and clean off my car and stand in 100 feet of snow.

So with the snow stopping and all of Waterford closed up for the day, I thought I would go out and take some pic of the Beautiful white stuff that I hate oh so much....


I love the way it looks when the snow is on the pine trees and also when you are driving. Tom and I have only been back in Michigan for about 2 years. I remember last year when I was at work looking out the BIG window on the very first big snow of the year, thinking how beautiful the snow was. The reason why it was such a cool moment was because when you don't see snow for years you forget how beautiful it really is...But then all you have to do is walk outside and then you remember why you want to live on the beach...Here are just a few pics from today...







All I can say is that on Monday I saw 7 ROBINS and if you are not from Michigan when you see the robins that means spring is coming....COME SPRING, COME I MISS WARM WEATHER YOU ARE AWESOME....

Till Next Time....

PS.
We had a Snow day at Youth group and the kids went sledding it was tons of fun. Here are some pics from our sledding fun...

Why?


The other day I made a mix CD for my car. When I was driving to the library this song came on. Its called why by Nicole Nordeman.You may have heard the song maybe not, But this song was so powerful to me that I had to share it with everyone that reads my blog. I looked on Youtube to see if I could find this song so you could hear it, even better someone took clips from Mel Gibsons The Passion to the song. This video is very moving. I hope it moves you like the song did to me when I was sitting in the parking lot of the library.



Here are the lyrics to the song also if you would like to read them.

We rode into town the other day
Just me and my Daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man
That my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said "Daddy, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows
Daddy, please can't you do something?
He looks as though He's gonna cry
you said he was stronger than all of those guys
addy, please tell me why
Why does everyone want him to die?"

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And Daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide

So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for My robe?
This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows
Father, please can't You do something?
I know that You must hear My cry
I thought I could handle the cross of this size
Father, remind Me why
Why does everyone want Me to die?
When will I understand why?"

"My precious Son, I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own
Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know
But this dark hour I must do nothing
Though I've heard Your unbearable cry
The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies
Soon You'll see past their unmerciful eyes
Look there below, see the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell You why
She is why You must die"


Till Next Time.....
