Remember that time...

Hi.  Remember when I had a blog, and I updated it frequently and I was not in Dallas at a conference?  Those were good times, and no need to worry because I am BACK!  I had a great, restful, although unproductive weekend (unless you call catching up on the previous two episodes of Lost productive).  Anyways, before I left, I took some pictures of myself by a tree and tried to place my body so you would not see the neighbors trash bins.

Oh what is that you see?  Something you have never seen before?  Something VERY pretty?

A few weeks ago I got some wonderful news.  I had won the Jess LC jewelery give away from Selective Potential!  I could not be more stoked about this.  This necklace has been in HEAVY rotation.  It is incredibly simple and elegant!  I really love it!  Thank you to Tieka for hosting this give away and thank you so much to Jess LC for creating such beautiful pieces of art! 


(PS- with this much of a close up on my chest... haha, I wanted to address one small thing.  I have a big pink scar on my chest, yes I do.  I have had it since high school, and its annoying and not very pretty but its there regardless.  I'm going to be undergoing some treatment (AGAIN) to reduce the size and color of it, which should be interesting.  Basically, I have to get shots of cortisone into the scar... oh and yes its painful... REALLY painful).

I wore this outfit last week and unfortunately did not get good shots of the complete outfit (this was also the day that I just about flipped my lid with wanting a tripod). 

I have had this necklace hanging on my jewelery organizer for three years.  I just have had no idea how to wear it or the best way to wear it.  Last week, I got brave and went for it.  I will spare you the family drama and history and just say that its a piece of costume jewelery from my Mamaw.
