Trailing the Truth-Fairy: A Poetic Journey; written by poet and elementary teacher, Noelle Dunn, is a GREAT BOOK!

One of my favorites lines from Trailing the Truth-Fairy: A Poetic Journey...

“Hope floats above the shade of the old evergreen tree

Fueling the wish, the dream inside of me” –Noelle Dunn

"Trailing the Truth Fairy: A Poetic Journey (2011)

Noelle’s work is available in print and ebook formats on itunes, bn.com, and lulu.com.

Miss Melody is one of our TabbyAbbyz™ Custom Made Dolls. She was destined for fame when she made the trip to Hollywood (via www.theindiexhibit.org) for display at the 2011 American Music Awards GBK Gift Lounge. She appeared in pictures with Jasmine Villegas, The Situation, Brooke Hogan and many others. Check out our new Hollywood page created by www.bgstudiosphotography.blogspot.com to see pictures from this event.

TabbyAbbyz™ dolls are fully jointed and their heads turn. "Melody" is not intended for play with small children, because of her small necklace and hair accessories. However, the fun thing is that you can order you own TabbyAbbyz™ doll with all of the following choices:

Public Service Announcement!

People who hold grudges and hate their whole life (or a good portion of it) are ridiculous! GET OVER IT! To the ex who is still looking for ways to justify cheating 3 times. GET OVER IT ! She is trying to move on.... Leave her alone!!!! To the daughter-in-law holding a vicious grudge against her mother-in-law for the grievous act of breathing... GET OVER IT! To the teenage girl who hasn't talked to her daddy in 8 months, because her nasty mom rewards such behavior, GET OVER IT! To the adult, who is holding a 20 year old grudge over something someone said in middle school to you ... GET OVER IT!

1. Cheaters always Cheat.... move on.... block them, don't believe they will change, THEY WON'T!
2. Life is much easier if you love your MIL and thank her for raising the good man you have married!
3. The time you held onto so tightly, being mad, is gone FOREVER!
4. Mom's should never keep good, upstanding, honorable daddy's from their kids, just to be STUPID!
5. You might as well forget whatever it was that someone said, because I guarantee, after 20 years, they have .

This has been a Public Service Announcement, please resume your normal activities, grudge free and learn to GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!

So Excited and BUSY!

I have sadly ignored my blog as the business has grown, but here it sits waiting to assist me with the growth of my business.... IF i use it! Sigh

When I Think I've heard it All........

So I am not one to talk about my job but this was too crazy to pass up..

I'm at work and this guy walks in and says "excuse me, I was using the bathroom behind your building and I looked down and saw this set of keys" and then he proceeds to try to hand them to me!!!!!!!!!!

Background info- There is no "bathroom" behind the building (just a dumpster)

Needless to say, I didn't touch the keys!
Shocking to say, I didn't pass out from the sheer horror of what kinds of bacteria may be on those keys!
While the entire episode was absolutely disturbing, I have not stopped laughing all day! Even tonight while sitting here, I am still bursting out in giggles and still blushing!!!

No Smile Day!

Picture Day!

Corde and I had a big day! My sweet pumpkin needed some new pics and I get to use them on my store, blog and brag about our little darling on Facebook! We started the day with Oatmeal and dry cheerios in the highchair while I blew dry and styled her hair (which never stays) She has so much hair – Oh My Gracious! When that was done Grandma put on her first outfit, then I packed her bags (yes, plural) and off we went! We went to Picture Me Studio in Marion Wal-Mart…. (I was skeptical). We had the best PHOTOGRAPHER!!!! Whitney was so professional and great with Corde. Our grumpy girl decided she would not smile today! Whitney worked with her for over an hour, took 70? pics, was extremely patient while I continually changed Cordelah’s clothes and chased her all over the studio. I brought pink tulips with us and she took great pics while our little angel peeled the stems apart and probably squished them into the backdrop.    I would have loved to see Corde’s pretty mouth full of teeth, but she is obviously shy and didn’t want to show them. I have so many pics it will take me forever to load them so only going to post a few tonight. Corde must have been tired because she took a 4 1/2 hour nap when we got home!

And if you’re wondering, yes, the items Corde is modeling are available at www.auntwednesdays.etsy.com
