i cannot begin to say how much i enjoy doing these giveaways. they are such a blessing to be able to share beauty with each one of you. this is my way of giving back to those who have given so much to me.

    i like the way this just sounds, however, I don't have a man in my life you uses an old shaving kit like the one you're giving away. My Dad is new fashioned, and my brothers too young. :-D.

  6. I didn't make resolutions, and I didn't choose a word- although, if I did, I think it would be 'hope'.

  8. I visited Darcee's shop and loved it all, especially the lock and key necklace. And the single chick necklace is so cute, and I'd love it since I'm "chambanachik". :)

  9. Is it possible that the word found me before I chose it?
    I think my word for 2012 so far is, transitions. And, patience.
