a farewell to summer

In every girls life; there's a boy she'll never forget and a summer where it all began.

Palm trees, ocean breeze, salty air, sun kissed hair. That endless summer, take me there.

You're going away in late September, but here's a thanks for a summer I'll always remember.

The tans will fade, but the memories will last forever.

a sweet reminder

Tell me how you've been, Tell what you've seen,
Tell me that you'd like to see me too.

'cause my heart is full of no blood,
My cup is full of no love,
Couldn't take another sip even if I wanted.

But it's not too late,
Not too late for love.

My lungs are out of air,
Yours are holding smoke,
And it's been like that for so long.

{image via}

I've seen people try to change,
And I know it isn't easy,
But nothin' worth the time ever is.

{image via}

And it's not too late,
It's not too late for love,
For love,
For love,
For love.

Pink and Green Thursday - Orglamix Edition

  

Hello lovies!  Here we are again.  The weeks are flying by, no?  I cannot believe it is time for yet another P&G Thursday.....

I purchased some make-up through Orglamix about a month or so back, and I promised a product review, so I am going to encorporate that into my P&G Thursday post. 

I am smittened with their eye color choices.  PLUS, I am a sucker for mineral eye wear.  Love the loose powder where you can decide how light and airy or how dramtic and colorful you want to be that day!  PLUS, when you can purchase each eye color for ONLY $5 each....you really can't go wrong. 

Check out some of these pink and green eye color choices, for my P&G Thursday post....

{I purchased this Peppermint color...my results below!}

{And I am thinking I want this Wild Rose color next!}

I highly suggest you stop on by Orglamix and take a gander.  Oh yes, I also highly recommend this Diamond Mineral Sparkler to enhance and give you a sheen to your face!

This is me wearing the Peppermint color.  Sparkly!!!  Yet, it can become more bold by adding a thicker amount and.or adding a damp applying method. 

Another lighter color....pretty nice!

Pretty nice, I'd say!

**I was NOT paid or provided with any free products for this review.  These are solely my personal opinions.**

never stop

Here is my latest art piece that I made....

...Tia I have NOT forgotten about you, I promise.  Mr. Lincoln will have a fantastic piece of art for his big boy, bad boy, hero saving room!!!!  Very soon.  I love you, know that!

Never stop believing!!!

I was having an "artists block" on Saturday night while re-working this children's art table and chairs for Layla's room when I decided to re-focus. 

I told Summer that I wanted to create something.....and this is what I did!

Do you guys likey?  Don't tell if you don't...I don't wanna know...

And I am still working on the Brownie Button Bake-Off.  I am two batches down.  No good buttons made.  But, I am positive my butt IS expanding.  This is probably NOT going to end well for me...I just know it!

Face Painting

While I was off in la-la land Blog Land, I just realized how much stuff I have NOT posted about.  You know, the cute stuff.  Layla.  She thought she was the shiz-bot when she got her face painted at one of our favorite pizza buffets a couple weeks back. 

I kinda HAVE to agree.  That's a darn cute kid!
