New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly,

provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.....

It has been an amazing year for me, thank you to everyone that follows my blog,

I look forward to the upcoming year with high hopes,

anticipation and opportunity

Getting real about it all

I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it

~Maya Angelou~

               We all have moments when we ask, "how did I get here?" 

SL is full of unpredictable twists sometimes its hard to keep up, adapting to how things are while letting go of what we had. 

Shake off the "whys" and "what ifs." The past is a brief reflection, the future is yet to be realized, but today is here. 

I walk my path one step at a time with courage faith & determination.

I blogged this gown a few days ago, but loved it so much I revisited 

it in a different color as its very versatile. 

Two colors are on sale until January 1, 2011 so grab one or both.

 Celebrate the New Years in style!

FYI - If you wear the Jacket layer then change the settings of the pant layers. First wear the Pants / Underpants layer. 

Go in edit appearance, click Pants/Underpants 

Set waist to 40. So the transparent layers won't overlap

Something old.... Something new.......

While we all feasted on turkey & cranberry sauce, ripped into gifts, and celebrated the joyous day, a wedding was taking place of quiet proportion.

  

The Bride wore a  silhouette hugging, sexy silver gown from Ayla's that was exotic, yet classic in its cut, The sleek fabric flowed like a frothy vision as this A-List starlet made her way down the aisle. The double strapped top ending in  what we have come to know as the Ayla signature bow was the cherry on top of this sweet treat. Though the beautiful gown came in 7 eye catching colors the silver was chosen to balance out the 4 carat ring that sat nestle upon the hand of the bride to be. 

The ring we are told was created and designed by U&R Dog creative force Uta Karas & Ruriko Jewell aptly named La traviata, roughly translated to "The Fallen Women", we won't talk about the starlets battle with sex tape video scandals and reported late night boozing in Pixelwood....

The ring is supposedly one of a kind, we have on very good authority that copies can be purchased for one and all at the U&R Dogs mainstore. The ring comes with a lovely nail set manicure that can change from winter white,to regal red or beautiful black. The option to make it full bright or not is a key feature, in that attention can be drawn to lovely hands or not to by turning it off. As with every cleverly crafted piece from U&R Dogs there is a smart menu with an update that it controls only the piece that you have selected the menu before. In the past what ever changes you made to the left hand would sync to the right hand, something I will truly miss, but the chance to dote on each nail is a bonus for those that like to take extra care and look their absolute best!

LOTD - It's all about the Dani Pants

So a few days ago Ayla plurked about wanting help naming some super cute pants she had just created, several plurkers weighed in on the issue and not to be left out I jumped in and joined the fray.

Well let it be known that I have magic in my pants.....Ok don't go gutterville on me, seriously these pants are magical. Since finding out that Ayla named the lovely pants after moi I have had the best days ever! My hair has fallen into place perfectly, my hubby has been attentive and my kids are perfect little angels! My Christmas shopping list is completely finished and I found the juiciest, largest turkey for our family dinner in a few weeks.

Yes maybe I would have eventually found these things, but they all transpired while wearing my awesome-sauce, to cute to  breath Dani Pants!! 

The lovely tweed texured high-waist pants are hand-drawn by Ayla, there available in 3 colors, 3 hues of those colors! If I were you....I would go get a pair fast!! 

Last but not least I found out that there is to be an expose on my wonderful life, filmed and directed by some of the great photographers in s/l. Guess what I will be wearing......

My Daisy Bell

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.........

Daisy is my s/l daughter & friend, we have so much fun together shopping, talking and decorating the house.

My Daisy is the spitting image of her mommy, but prettier! I thought she was going to have flat feet like her father but genetics were kind and just gave her his fiery temperament.

My Daisy has a style of her own and while I opt for traditional looks at times with a girlie flair, my Daisy Belle..... well likes a little Gothic twist to her look.

Which as the saying goes "the apple doesn't fall from the tree", doesn't mean the apple can't have its own flair!

Just a Dream.....

Nelly sings "if you ever love someone put your hands up...." 

after realizing he has lost the love of his life. 

It amazes me how people only realize what or how good someone is after they have made the grand exit, kinda makes hindsight a cruel concept. I would want in a perfect world for there to be a "Hindsight Committee" that policed relationships, this entity would not be run by any government officials.

The would knock on the door of said person in trouble of losing that special someone and tap them on the forehead with a stern message like "Hey dumb dumb the love of your life is about to be ghost and you are going to be singing Nelly's Just a Dream if you don't pull it in and change your ways!"

Then if the person in question continues on the path that eventually leads to the dissolution of their relationship its on them and should said person go to the club and start to lift their hand on the part where it says "If you ever loved somebody put your hands up..." the hindsight crew would roll in and smack em around and yell " there is no reason to lift your hands now, you had your warning, you opted to be here alone with your actions!" 

But guess that won't happen cause its only just a dream........
