just made it by the skin of my teeth!
just under the wire......
it is hard to see but i am in the process of whitening my teeth. the stuff on the strips on my teeth begin to foam.....i feel like i look like a rabid dog!
most people just whiten their teeth because they need it.....for me their is a whole story behind the why........
this is all worth is. last year i was on liquid iron 3 times a day for 8 months trying to get my iron levels back up. i was so anemic the doctors were amazed i was not in unconscience, the doctor was amazed that i was even able to walk into her office. and had the lab check my results 3 times two days in a row. they wanted to stick me in the hospital and transfuse me. i told them as long as i was able to hold my own to save the blood for someone who wasn't doing so well. i was actually up and functioning cleaning house, taking care of 3 kids, and even taking walks at night. i was tired and shakey, and afraid i had suffered another pulmonary embolism .......caused by birth control pills.....you know that pamphlet that comes with the bcp's that you read and say....ehh that happens to other people, not me, especially because i don't smoke.....well, guess what...it happens.
not that i ever,ever,ever want to relive what happened to me 3 years ago, but coming as close as i did to death makes you look at life in a whole new way.....so i do thank GOD for that, and pray i never have to go through a life lesson like that again!
so as i whiten my teeth some reminders of the road in life i have traveled is being washed away...but that is ok, the memory alone is enough i don't need any souveniers.

looked like a couple of days ago! i hate winter......and i like 1 good snow...well this was pretty wimpy, but BEAUTIFUL ! 
these will eventually be put together as one necklace in the order they are layed out.(the very bottom charm has a feather in it from one of my teeney birdies.....went to patina my chain and it won't stick, so must be cheap-n-cheesey chain....i was on such a roll and planned on finishing this up this evening.....poohey..... 
2 more charms i made just for the heck of it.....actually i am working up the guts to list some stuff on ebay.......this might be part of my stock for that. 
these are 2 charms i made. the one on the left is for carol's bracelet. the one on the right is a gift for heidi.....long story, but after what she has been through with her bracelet i felt the need to do this for her.
just made it by the skin of my teeth!
well, i have been doing lots of playing around lately. i have been trying new stuff. i did a bit of everything on this one, and if i could have found an adhesive strong enough may have even collaged the kitchen sink in on this one! it is a bit 'cluttered' which i normally don't do, but i like it, i like it! i might have to do another busy piece. with valentine's quickly approaching this seemed to be the easiest time of year for me to play around.... i luv love and romance. i love all of the geeky sayings, the silly-ness and serious-ness of it all, love vintage valentine's, i have a collection that is left out all over the house all year round.
