Love the Koi!


There's a ton of those hex signs around here in Central Illinois. I guess some of the dutch settled in this area? I see them on barns- real big. Your tat is cool.

HERE"S MY PICTURE!!!
I just got it on monday and I so ooooooo love it!

It's a violet art nouveau style.
This has very special meaning to me- my great grandmother was named violet and she died on her 20th birthday- 3 days after my grandmother was born. My grandmother, mother, myself, and my daughter all have the middle name violet. I love art nouveau and it's especially appropriate since that's the era that Violet was from.

I have never ever in my life endured pain like this (brazillian wax is NOTHING in comparison) .  it's probably because of the location I chose, my lower back, and the fact that it's outline-heavy (with a nice chocolate brown- love it) I am so so happy I got it becuase I just love it and it's so special to me!

do you print these out and put in a book?

or do you just keep on like your webstie or your family's or whatever?

First off, I'm no makeup expert. I just love makeup.

You can easily fix your broken lipstick. If you microwave, it will melt like crazy. I'd use a candle. Just hold your broken lipstick near the flame till it gets a bit melty, then gently press back into the tube.

If you are stocking up on disc'd lipstick, I'd definately store them in the fridge.

I don't think there is any hope for rancid lipstick. chalk that up to a lesson learned and toss it. or at least don't put it on your body. (not sure what sort of crafty double-life lipstick could lead).

that's so funny! Sounds like something my mom and I would do!

I used to henna my hair and when I did, I'd mix an egg in with it and it would be sooo soft and shiny!

I think I might try an egg wash. BUT before I put hot water on it, I plan on using luke-warm water and soaping up with shampoo as soon as it gets wet. might prevent egg-drop soup?

yyikes!
Not sure if this could be fixed unless your shirt was way big.


so sorry! AT LEAST you didn't spend $40 on a bunch of fabric, etc to make an outfit for a special occasion and totally ruin the project. can't tell ya how many times I've done that! (it's called false economy..when ya think you are gonna save money by doing it yourself but end up having to go out and buy the item in question anyway. ARGHHHHH)

Count your blessings that you were able to get quite a bit of wear out of your shirt in the first place!

 

may the force be with you! hope you figure out a way to fix.

He looks SOOO happy with himself too!

I think all three of my little bro's have at least one school picture with "interesting" haircuts!

I'm just going to ANTICIPATE that my daughter will go thru this phase.... scissors...hair... the pull is irrisistable...

I bought a small sbook from rusty pickle- it's a spiral bound and all the pages are loose so you embellish then put together. IT also has divider pages and I jsut was wondering if anyone has used this product and/or has some pics of what they did.
