Classic Americana Annie Wreath

So this little Classic Raggedy Ann wanted to be on a wreath...



...she's proud to be an American, and wants to show off her red white and blues...


...but she thinks that, perhaps, we here in the good ol' US of A spend a bit too much time trying to appear other than the truth of who and what we are...


...so she finally found her honest home on this beautiful wreath!

Bunnies, Bunnies EVERYWHERE!

The bunnies have been following me...



This little lady is having a Tea Party on a wreath...her name is Beatrice, and she's invited a little fellow named Peter...they're surrounded by daisies and vintage childrens tea sets...



...and this final wreath is my attempt to craft a very inexpensive Easter wreath option...some of us want to decorate our home, but we just don't have the budget to match our expensive tastes...



WATCH OUT, or a bunny may just follow your home...

CELEBRATE your FULL LIFE!

HOW TO START A DIET…
1. Throw out all the clothes that are too small for you or don't flatter your current figure, and GO SHOPPING! Buy at least 3 or 4 outfits in your current size that look smashing on you RIGHT NOW!
2. Get new makeup and a new hairdo, and look AMAZING every time you leave the house. You deserve it right now--don't WAIT until you're some other size!
3. Buy pretty nightgowns and sexy bras that fit beautifully NOW--indulge in sensual fabrics.
4. Dance every chance you get (especially with your lover and children)...get outside and see the world...walk from place to place so you don't miss the beauty all around you by being cooped up in a car.
5. Eat ONLY what you want...eat ONLY the best quality...eat ONLY until you are satisfied (and then go dance--see number 4).
6. Have sex as much as possible...take long bubble baths...stretch your entire body like a luxuriating cat every day.
7. Throw yourself into creative projects that satisfy all levels of your being.
8. Re-discover yourself (don't re-invent...you're already where you need to be, so let's be honest and LOOK at WHAT IS).
9. Spend lots of time speaking with interesting people about fascinating topics. Get up, go out--BE RELEVANT.
10. Get plenty of rest...but not too much...after all, your exciting life is too full to spend sleeping it away!
Perhaps I should entitle this "How to be satisfied in your own skin"...
