sail on

Happy Inspiration Monday!
The ladies Nora and Megan of Two Birds Boutique
 chose an outfit to inspire a personal look.

My version of the inspired look.

"Sail on down the line'Bout a half a mile or soAnd I don't really wanna know aWhere you're goin'

Today's inspiration is:

Jessica Biel
To see what others wore, look here.

Maybe once or twice you seeTime after time I tried a toTo hold on to what we got
But now you're goin'

My lace skirt is thrifted.

And I don't mind about the things you're gonna say...
 I gave all my money and my time

I think I got my necklace at the dollar store,
several years ago.

I won these boots from LuLu's  in this giveaway from Maria at Little Tree Vintage, back in May. 

I know it's a shameBut I'm givin' you back your name, yeah, yeah

I posted this song because it's, someone I love's, favorite song of all time, and NO I'm not talking
 about myself, for once.  ;)

walk on

I know a girl that collects Precious Moments.

Me, in the back of my guy's truck.

I don't know when it started,
 but she's been doing it for years.

Many of them are gifts,
 & some are figurines. 

One of them is an angel.
It tops her Christmas tree.

I collect precious moments too,
but mine are different than she.

For I collect words,
 songs, scraps of paper,
images, as flashes of memories.
Things I want to remember.
Possibly frozen moments in time.

from my darling girl Er.

from my dear friend Charity at A Lovely Little World.

My guy with our twin nieces.

Some people that I love.

I used to see a view like this, every time I went outside.
Every time I looked out my living room window.
Every time I drove anywhere in my car.
Now it's just something I see when I visit.
For I don't live in the same place anymore,
but really, do any of us?
For none of us are static.
We're always changing, in some form or another.
Some would even call it evolving.
I don't know what I call it.
Blah, blah, blah...

Me acting goofy.

Walk on... Rock on.. 

Neither one is right nor wrong. 

Movielike Lyrics Artist(Band):Jimmy Eat World

"My face coming down in streaks...
Not the way I hoped for
 Welcome to New York... 
Nothing movie-like
Nothing magic
People just tire to fight the constant battle
Waiting to see a sign?
Then you've seen the best already"...

The only halfway decent photo of me,
from that day. 

Me & my brother's dog Gracie,
in his backyard.

My nephew in his new toy car.
His mommy is helping him.
The lady behind him is my mom.

Those blurry legs behind my nephew,
are my brother. No, my family does NOT
like to photo cooperate.
I can respect that.

My nephew looking at his new
 recorded book from Grandma.

There's my twin nieces unwrapping their presents.

 
 

My guy's family.

My niece with her mommy.

This would be my dear friends.

I like taking photos where people make faces. 

A and A's wedding day

N made homemade snicker doodle cookies, which i willing passed around to everyone. we had to be there early for pictures, so it was a long day.mamacita sewed her jacket, the boy's pants, and made her jewelry. it was a sweet wedding. normally these type of events make me gag. when i walked in all dressed in black R asked if i was going to a wedding or a funeral. i said aren't they the same thing? (hee-hee). but seriously A and A looked so delightfully happy. i cried when she was walking down the aisle.
the desserts were divine! there were chocolate covered strawberries, mini apple pie bars, hello dolly cookies, blueberry cheesecakes, chocolate frosted custard filled pastries, mini key lime pies with graham cracker crusts, and mini strawberry mousse with oreo crusts. red vines licorice, tootsie rolls, hershey kisses, various candies with pink lemonaide. plus wedding white wedding cake with strawberry filling. they served a luncheon too. no i didn't eat all that food. i only sampled bites. also how cute was the place and the decorations! the music was mostly country. i also heard edwin mccain and michael bolton, (no comment).
