...in a {foreign} Word... or two

Years ago, {when I was a very young courageous, outspoken and brave girl} I ventured into the world of languages. Despite not having been mandated to learn a second language, I grew up in the era where a second language was a welcomed option to the every day academia offerred in the school curriculum. The language that I chose, is a language, that, then and even now, I find to be one of the most poetic and beautiful languages around. No it does not have the soft and melodic rhythmn of the romantic languages... but the lettering is visual poetry and the pronounciation is an oral delight.
Mastering the language was a daily challenge that I looked forward with much zest & zeal. Always eager to learn a new word, phrase or thought in this amazing language has kept me fully engaged, even after all of these years. So since finding this simple but elegantly lettered alphabet book, I have been on the hunt in an attempt to purchase one. I have to have one {at least one} !!!.

{oh yes, I am much, much older now...but I am still courageous, outspoken a brave}

Shrinky Dinks around my Neck...

{buy jewelry}

Is this not the coolest jewelry yet? Made from shrinky dinks--{in her oven} , these are a must have item for your playful alter-ego. These kitschy little pieces are sure to put a smile on your face. I'm really {hearting} the "i [heart]" series. And the pixelated floral is just too cute. I'm going to have to have one of each. For even more, you have to check out her full line, before making in rash decisions on which will find their way into your shopping cart!
Which one is just too cute for your to pass up?

Happy {Monday}...

Mandi Norwood scores the proverbial homerun with this read dedicated to the first 100 days of Style of our first lady, Michelle Obama.
