The Eleventh Of September

 

We mourn their loss this day this year
Those now with God, no danger near

So many loved ones left do stand
Confronting loss throughout our land

My heart goes out to those who do
No one can fathom what they view

I firmly pray for peace of mind
Dear God please help each one to find

And to our soldiers now at war
God guide above, at sea, on shore

They are the best, I have no doubt
Our country’s pride, complete, devout

The finest force you’ll ever see
All freedom grown through liberty

One final thought comes clear to me
For what must live in infamy

Absolutely - We’ll Remember
The Eleventh - Of September

Handmade Wooden Beaded Jewelry

I purchased these large wooden beads.

Thought they were way cool and had intentions of making something lovely with them... and then they sat in my supplies drawer, for almost TWO YEARS!!! 

Occasionally I'd pull them out, look at them, and just draw a blank as to what to create...

That is, until this past week. 

I made a beautiful Shabby Chic inspired necklace with coordinating earrings.  

They are for sale individually at amysbodydecor.com

Paired up with Sterling Silver, these accessories exuberate gorgeous fashion and handmade quality.

Thanks for looking and supporting Handmade ♥

Summer Days at Celebration!

Over the weekend we took the kids out to Celebration, Florida to play. 
Such a beautiful community and there's so many fun things for the kids!

 We went on a nature walk around a couple of the lakes out there. 
They have a new walking trail with boardwalks
connecting the lakes through the woods.  

We found so many cool things!!

A lizard that winked at me! Was he hittin' on me?!!!

There were hundreds of Lubber Grasshopper's!!
The kids had a blast trying to catch them.. so funny,
once they did they didn't know what to do with them!!
These were piggy backin'

Lots of them were climbing up the trees looking for fresh leaves to eat.
Can you spot him?? Where's Waldo the grasshopper?! lol

The squirrels were very friendly towards humans!
Occasionally they would jump down to the boardwalk right beside us
and actually scare us!!
This one posed for me as I was only about a foot away... 
Looked like he was contemplating jumping at me?!!!

We even spotted a tree with a heart in it!!

Towards the end of our walk as we were heading back into town
we spotted a baby alligator!
I was too scared to get down closer to the water to get a better shot
as momma may be lurking around?!
Wonder if this black bird wanted gator tail for lunch?!
Probably the other way around!!!

It was such a scorching hot day!
After the hike we took the kids down to the fountains
to play in the water and cool off. 
There was actually a "No Diving" sign.. lmao...

I just LOVE summer days <3

Photoshoot with Lily

My first "real" photo shoot was a super success!  

I can say this because we had a blast
and her Mom was very pleased with the results!!

We spent the afternoon playing, being silly, eating pirate booty,
torturing Moochie, dodging bugs.... 

all while I captured it all with my camera.

Her Mom, April is the founder and creator of LOLY Fashion Accessories.

Check them out on Facebook! Why not "like" em while you're there ;)

These gorgeous handcrafted accessories are also available at Sincerely Yours.

(If you're in the Central Florida area.)

So naturally we incorporated her beautiful flowers 

coordinating them with Lily's outfits for the photo shoot.

Lily and I, on location... Working hard ;)

It is so hard to pick, I really LOVE them all! But here are a few of my Fav photo's

(See more on Facebook)

 

 

Are you ready for my absolute FAV one of them all...

As Lily says, "This is fun, sittin' on the porch... drinkin' a beer"

LOL too funny!!!

(Was just root beer btw)
