Take To The Sky

Happy Tuesday, Dolls.

While listening to Pandora these past few months, this adorable song always puts a smile on my face, so I thought I would share it with all of you...in hopes that it'll do the same for you! No matter how old we get, we always need a little encouragement & inspiration.

No matter what…Fly, Beautiful Ones…Fly.

Take To The Sky

.Jordan Pruitt.

All of your life you've been waiting,
Keeping your feet on the ground.
So much that you've never seen,
It's just been a dream, until now.
Everyone knows it's your moment,
The magic you need is inside.
So go out and follow your heart,
Make all your dreams, come to life.

[Chorus:]
Take to the sky, and fly, through the heavens.
Open your eyes, and soar above, the blue.
Take a breath, and believe, you can do, anything.
Time to spread your wings, and take to the sky.
(Yeahh)

Set on a course for adventure,
Somewhere beyond the blue moon,
Go and discover the treasure,
Where you land's up to you.

[Chorus:]
Take to the sky, and fly, through the heavens.
Open your eyes, and soar above, the blue.
Take a breath, and believe, you can do, anything.
Time to spread your wings, and take to the sky.

[Bridge:]
Find yourself wrapped up in rainbows,
Tinted with fireflies,
Being here is paradise.

[Chorus:]
Take to the sky, and fly, through the heavens.
Open your eyes, and soar above, the blue.
Take a breath, and believe, you can do, anything.
Time to spread your wings, and take to the sky.
Open your eyes, and soar above, the blue.
Take a breath, and believe, you can do, anything.
Time to spread your wings, and take to the sky.
(Oh yeah)

From My Wings…To Yours,

Need A Little Pick-Me-Up?

Hi, My Angels.

Just as I was about to take a shower a get ready for bed, I plugged my phone in & saw a text from my Sister. What was attached was as beautiful as it gets & I just had to share it with all of you. If your sad, struggling with anything, or just need a little sunshine in your life right now…this is for you. And if you're as happy as can be…you'll still appreciate this! It's definitely one of the most beautiful I've seen! Thank you so much for sending it to me, Sissy. I love you very much.

Have a beautiful night, Sweethearts.

I love you & I am always here.

XO

From my ♥…to yours,

And if you haven't yet…

Shine SO Bright,

Hurricane Sandy

I can't stop watching the news & my heart is breaking for everyone & everything affected by this horrible horrible storm! SO many homes, businesses, etc. I can't even begin to imagine. If you or anyone you love is close…I am so so sorry & I'll continue to say a million & one prayers for all of you! I know this isn't funny at all & NOTHING to make light of…but I just wanted to make you smile for even a second. 

So with that said…here you go...

And to take your mind off it even more…go ahead & dream about this bag.

In all seriousness though…

Here is my prayer for you.

"Dear Lord I ask you to protect the people and all surrounding areas from hurricane Sandy. Please keep them safe and free of harm. Please inspire and strengthen their courage. Please protect the emergency service crews as they help the public. I thank you dear Lord. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen"

NOTHING But Love To You & For You,

I ♥ My Fellow Backwoods Barbie!

If you don't already know how much I love this girl…you can read all about it here & here.

But just when I thought I couldn't love her more…I see this!

Yeay! She got it! 

And her reaction & appreciation…LOVE LOVE LOVE & made my entire day!

I ♥ her for all the reasons I've always been a fan of Dolly!
For her uniqueness, her ability to "do her" & not give a s**t what anyone else thinks, and to never apologize or make excuses for being all dressed up/having her own style & living life to it's fullest! 

As Dolly would say…"If I have offended anybody...all I can say if tough titty!"

Trisha is my Dolly & in the ways of being "all done up" & having people (all my life) ask why…I can relate to Dolly and T…100%! 

Because I wanna be…that's why! 
It's in my blood.
It's who I am.

Imagine how much more beautiful this world would be if we all were so busy "being us" (our true/authentic selves)…that we didn't have any time left to judge others!

If you love to be all dolled up, great.
If you hate it, great.
That's the beauty of uniqueness.
That's what makes this world a whole Crayola box…instead of just black & white.

So…here's to all of us & being our own unique, wonderful selves!

Backwoods Barbie

"Grew up poor and ragged, just a simple country girl. 
I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world,
Like Barbie or the models in the Fredricks' catalog.
From rags to wishes in my dreams I could have it all.
I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair.
Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there.
Don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe that
I'm as shallow as I look 'cause I run true and deep.

I've always been misunderstood because of how I look.
Don't judge me by the cover 'cause I'm a real good book.
So read into it what you will, but see me as I am.
The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels.
I might look artificial, but where it counts I'm real.
And I'm all dolled up and hopin' for a chance to prove my worth,
And even backwoods Barbie's get their feelings hurt.

I'm just a backwoods Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair.
Don't be fooled by thinkin' that the goods are not all there.
Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance;
But even backwoods Barbie's deserve a second chance.
I'm just a backwoods Barbie just asking for a chance,
Just a backwoods Barbie."

Keep Shining, Trisha!
This world needs your light.
I ♥ You, Honey!

-Pink

Ever wonder about what he’s doing
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it’s better to never ask why

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone’s bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn’t mean you’re gonna die
You’ve gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try

Eh, eh, eh

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it’s not right

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone’s bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn’t mean you’re gonna die
You’ve gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try

Ever worried that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you’re out there doing what you’re doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me are you just getting by by by

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone’s bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn’t mean you’re gonna die
You’ve gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try

You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try

And Because I love you so…

Here you go!

You've Gotta Get Up & Try,

Diamond Necklace Reveal!

Ok Dolls!

The moment has finally come!

As you all know by now…I was able to get my hands on 3 necklaces, instead of just the original one! 

So that means 3 of you will be sent this adorable necklace! 

YEAY!

Due to popular demand…I decided to just do my usual "drawing" & put all your names in this gorgeous "diamond-like" vase!

So…without further adieu…

Here are the 3 names Bobby pulled out…

Congratulations to all of you & if you could, pretty please send me your addresses…I'll get them out to you asap! 

And…because this is a totally different type of gift…if the rest of you that already commented (No new comments, please. I have to be completely fair. Only the girls that were entered to win. Brie & MB….you were as well!) could also send me your addresses, pretty please…I want to send you a little inspirational something as well!

Equally as cute, since I couldn't get all of you this necklace!

But trust me…you will love it.

.

Thank you ALL…for every kind word you spoke & for touching my life, & my ♥… so much more than words could ever express!

YOU are the diamonds in my life, & I will treasure you…ALWAYS.
