These images could be years old

or

however

these are images that my mind absorbs

dreams

tucks away

&

what takes my creative mind on the journey

to

 Once Upon A Time

to get Creative

I have always dreamed of

"Once Upon A Time"

Fairy Tales

&

Lands of enchantment......

I am not "blogging" about

 Haute Couture

&

Fairy Tales

because it is "in style" right now.

My mind has always created by using these images since I was a little girl.

Designers & photographers all DREAM

therefore you may see their visions of pure imagination

whatever decade it is.

Someone has always been dreaming away for us to enjoy it all.

Some of us drift off to those far away lands to dream 

&

then breath, relax, escape & create whatever comes to mind.

My imagination is what I am about.

I use it.

My mind see's
Easter parades of fanciful designs

details abound
Fairy Tale catwalks
What do YOU see?

layers & layers

textures

trims

ideas...

John Galliano has an imagination & soul of pure genius...

His fairy tale like fashion shows 

always make ones mind wander to the

Land of Sweet Dreams

Once upon A time.

I have always seem to drift towards these color choices 

when I desgn for little ones.

Of course I paint with other colors

however,

I tend to favor the soft dreamy colors with 

a whitewash & touch of gold to the edges.

I like my designs to be reminiscent

of Once Upon A Time

somewhere perhaps from

a little French Boutique.

Where only the privileged

shopped for the little royal princess.

I dare to DREAM

My dreams are of the little Princess

whom had only the best

one of a kind

I Moved to Atlanta.....

  

I packed my bags

Loaded everything all up

&

Moved

It just happens to be so darn HOTT

&

I have so much to unpack

but

One Day At A Time

I'll get it all together

& 

Be able to enjoy

my

 new 

home

with

my 5 beautiful daughters.

I already Love my neighbors

&

Everyone was so welcomming
&

it feels like home.

It is a family neighborhood.

They have alot of get togethers.

My 3 yr. old already has a BEST FRIEND.

Right next door.

They Play together

&

swim at the pool together.

She has a  big Brother.

He is the cutest, sweetest & most polite 

little boy ever.

It is so wonderful

to have everyone

come over

 &

play

Like we have been friends forever. 
Their mommy

She is Beautiful.
A true, real, beautiful soul.
She is helping me fit right in 
&
I think God had a part in this one.
He knew I needed a friend
He he blessed me with

an angel.

My girls are in love with that family too.
Trust me
If you were here you would know why.


Some people are just real good friend right from the beginning.


Thats when you feel like maybe this could be home.


I have faith.
I 
believe
So hopefully my sweet friends
I will be back with a fresh new start

 like I have been saying
for 
quite some time.
I am hoping this is it.
I have lots of goodies I have been working on
here & there.
My blog needs a makeover
I am trying to focus on 
my designs
in between
keeping my girls happy
&
decorating my home.
****
Alot on my plate
but
I know I can do it.


Thanks to all of you whom inspire me.
