Happy 9th Birthday Little Angel! What we did today..NOT school;)
Today didn't go exactly as planned....but it was a great day!
Breakfast at Ihop
picked up some cupcakes for the birthday girl's celebration
climbed our favorite tree
We did not make it into Art Cafe' (paint your own pottery), due to reduced hours during non-tourist season; but we did make it over to the beach....it's 72 today, and it was gorgeous! (side note: the day Little Angel made her debut into the world, it was 12 below zero, not counting windchill!...this 72 stuff works out MUCH better for us:D)
played in the sand
just me sporting my favorite dragonfly earrings from Island Cowgirl
da sistas
That's all folks, til tonight...and of course the fun we have planned this weekend! stay tuned.....

Last Day of Eight
Today is the last day of my first born little girl being an eight year old???!! Tomorrow she will be nine! One year away from double digits, half way to being a legally-voting adult, more than half way from obtaining her driver's license.....I look back at photos and cannot believe how quickly this has all gone! I think time sped up for us quite a bit during the busyness of moving from Wisconsin to South Carolina...the major relocation was definitely good for us, but it also sucked up quite a bit of our time and energy in putting a house up for sale, loading all the goods, finding a temporary house to live in, getting acclaimated to our new environment, selling our house up north, finding a new house down here, etc, etc, etc.....and they are with me almost every moment of every day...because we are blessed to be able to homeschool....yet it still feels like time is just flying by!
Little Angel is a very artisitc, a free-spirit, very innocent, yet very wise, very independant, yet very family-oriented, sweet (tall) little girl. She's an AVID reader, she loves the water, she loves to draw, she loves to write, she loves to bake, she loves to practice ballet, she just loves to create! She doesn't give hugs and kisses freely (we have to bribe her;)....she was even like this as a baby...she did not want to be held (unless she was being nursed;), she wanted to sit independently right next to us, but she loves with all of her heart! She's very sensitive, but holds it in, it's very important to recognize this about her and help her draw her feelings out...this is where her art has been crucial... (and now writing), she greatly expresses herself through creativity and art! Even when she was a toddler, and our family was going through some emotionally challening circumstances, her artwork had stick figures, with sad faces....we worked hard on that, and one day, all of her artwork started having smiley faces again! This made our hearts soar!
We are SO incredibly blessed to have this beautiful angel in our lives; so grateful for this little girl who is such a pure spirit and has so much to offer the world. Her innocence and pure joy and love of life brings so much Light to our beautiful world.
Little Angel is Beauty, Love, and Light!
I Love you with all of my heart Little Angel.
Enjoy your last day of Eight my sweet girl!!!
Enjoy every moment, as you always do; always.
ALWAYS be your true self!
p.s. she still says "scabetti" (spaghetti;)...and I'm not fixing that one!

Island Cowgirl Revisited
So like I've been saying (over and over and over again:)...I kind of sorta have this secret love affair going with Island Cowgirl...ok, maybe it borders on down right obessessiveness? I've pinned everything she has on pinterest...and, well, I think I really NEED one of her necklaces. She has a beautiful dragonfly necklace, which precisely matches my Island Cowgirl dragonfly earrings....but, I just don't do matchy-matchy....so, here are some of the contenders, showing back and front where photos are available (hey, go with me here, I'm thinking outloud:D):
The way they look and what they say are equally as important to me.
I normally wouldn't wear a bird (except an owl;), but I really do love this one.
well, lookie lookie, here's an owl! I'm not sure I want the leather cord (because these pendants are smaller and I would layer my bling with my other necklaces), but I can change that out easily enough, and it's actually a lot cheaper with the leather cord.
I like this one! But there are no words inscribed on the back, so this one's out.
Nothing wrong with beautiful butterflies, but I kind of wish this one had a dragonfly on it....but I'll keep this one in mind...I REALLY like the back!
UPDATE.......WINNING NECKLACE....
I REALLY LOVE THE BACK!!!!
I'll think about this one; again, much cheaper with the leather cord, which, doing jewelry now, I can probably figure out how to swap it for a chain...in fact, I'm quite certain I have some bulk chain to work with!
I love the front, but not digging the verbage...or the chain..I feel lik my hair will get caught in it or something.
this isn't for me; but I LOVE it and had to include it:)
Now this one is pretty darn awesome!
it's cute
sweeeeet! Kind of says it all!
same idea, different cord....
Just because this is too matchy matchy with my earrings, doesn't mean I didn't want to post the photos...I LOVE my earrings!
this one's actually a VERY high contender on my list!
LOVE sunflowers, and the inspirational phrase is all me!
this is just sweet
I do like this, but unfortunately it would have to stay on the leather cord....
Well folks, that concludes our brief tour Island Cowgirl. A decision has not been made yet, which means, maybe I should wait as she comes out with new designs or until I KNOW! But, feel free to visit http://www.islandcowgirl.com/
I just really love her style and have given J full permission to just freely pick from her site, when he's in search of a gift for me;)
