Revas Rags 2 Roses: thank you's

Hi all!

I'd like to say a big Hello and Thanks to all my newest followers!

Doing a blog post everyday is such a great way for me to practice my love for creativity, but it is so much more enjoyable when you know that other's appreciate your work as well. And, blogging is a work of art. I love to meet new blog buddies. I love seeing their creativity whether through their outfit choices, photos, blog layouts, even the fonts they choose!

All of the things tell me a little bit about who you are. In the beginning of my blog, I blared out an overbearing "look at me" vibe, including a new soundtrack each day (people really hated that one ;)... There are some new, really great ones out there and I must update my blogroll. Bear with me, I am slow :)

This button is for a new blog buddy:

Grunge Queen

a bohemian thrifter as well!

HANDMADE DRESS,BAG,SCARF: thrift store

CARDI: Target,75%off / SHOES: Dot's,clx

Over the couple years, I have cleaned up my blog a lot,

Though photo overload will always be my weak link :) But that's not too bad.

My mentor told me to try to keep it down to five. Gosh, that's hard...

Another bloggy tip: get a mentor!

She has been a blog-saver!

Sorry Zen-Master ;) Love ya!

xXx

" IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO SHOW YOUR DREAM TO SOMEONE ELSE "

ERMA BOMBECK

I GOTTA SAY A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED YESTERDAY ;)
IT'S FUNNY, BUT WHEN YOU START LOOKING FOR THE 'CLUES'
THAT LEAD YOU TO YOUR TRUE NATURE, THEY POP UP VERY QUICKLY.

I STARTED THE "FASHION AND PHILOSOPHY" SERIES A WHILE BACK, TO LET OTHER'S IN AND SEE WHAT MAKES ME TICK. A FORTY-SOMETHING WHO HAS THE KIND OF THOUGHTS I HOPE WE ALL HAVE, AND A VENUE FOR SHARING THE SOLUTIONS TO THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS REGARDING ART AND STYLE FOR THE OVER-40 CROWD, OR ANYONE WHO SHARES MY PASSION FOR FASHION (WHICH INVOLVES REACHING DEEPER THAN MY CLOSET SOMETIMES).

THE FIRST CLUE WAS IN THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS
WHICH GAVE ME A SENSE OF FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT.
THE OTHER WAS THE LOST FOLLOWER I GOT ;)
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
THE LACK OF SELF-DOUBT THAT CAME WITH IT.
SO, THE CLUES I RECEIVED WERE TO DO AND BE WHATEVER I CHOOSE AND STOP WORRYING SO MUCH ABOUT THE SMALL STUFF AND JUST CREATE.
(THE ORIGINAL GOAL OF THIS BLOG IN THE FIRST PLACE)....

SO AS A WANNA-BE PHOTOGRAPHER,

I MOVED MY CAMERA WAY UP HIGH ONTO A TABLE AND BEGAN TO SHOOT. AFTERWARDS, I PUT MY ON MY HEADPHONES, AND BEGAN TO LISTEN TO THE BLUES, WATER MY SOUL AND ENJOY CREATING JUST FOR THE SAKE OF CREATING. WITH LACE AND HARLEY BOOTS, MY HAT AND FREEDOM FROM MY SELF-DOUBT, HERE ARE SOME SHOTS I REALLY LIKE. (PLUS I WAS HAVING A REALLY GOOD HAIR DAY ;) ALL IMAGES WERE

SELF-EDITED, TOO !

(YES, I AM BRAGGING, SO SHOOT ME)

GET IT? :) - SHOOT ME....

TOTAL IMAGES: 18

MY GOAL TO BE A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER BY 50 IS STILL ON! (IF YOU'RE ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS WITH SANTA, PLEASE TELL HIM I NEED SOME NEW LENSES)...
