I love blogging because i absolutely love sharing things that i love with the world and i love even more to see what everyone else comes up with.  it is such a perfect little community of creative people!

i would like to give neno's award to blood roses

and i'm still asleep.

they just tell you that you're on your own

lately i've been feeling like i'm barely holding up the weight of everything that needs to get done (lala)
that all i can do is wait (lala)
but i'm stuck in the same uncomfortable position (filthy lust)
and i just can't let go (?)
i feel alone a lot (lola news)
but that's not such a bad thing (drifter and the gypsy)
being alone can be rather nice sometimes (drifter and the gypsy)
besides, i can never really be alone (lala)
when i know that the end of my stress will be over very soon (lola news)
and i have so many great friends to thank (lala)
for just being there (le love)
still... (lala)
it would be nice to just fly away right now (lala)

or get all dolled up (filthy lust)
and just go out dancing, and have the time of my life (found).





these gorgeous works of art are done by Sandi Petrie who goes to Cleveland Institute of Art.  I saw her working in her studio while on a tour and just had to tell her how amazing her work is.
