Good Morning! Or should I say Good Afternoon?
Or if it’s the end of the day where you are – perhaps I should say Sweet Dreams!
Whatever time it is in your corner of the world, I’m very glad you stopped by. 😀
For this week’s giveaway, I have a bold and beautiful pendant in two shades of sapphire blue!
I used very special vintage glass beads that were made in Czechoslovakia. The facets on these beads give them a gorgeous sparkle. You’ll notice there’s an aurora borealis flash on the teardrop and when the light hits the round bead – it glitters like a disco ball.
The metal components are sterling silver and silver plate. The pendant measures a very showy 1-3/4” long, and should fit on most chains in your wardrobe.

In the morning it takes me about an hour and a half to get ready.. I’m not THAT high maintenance but I have to do my hair and makeup, and coordinate an outfit and jewelry! Okay I do sound high maintenance, I confess! But if I need to, I can be out the door in 5 minutes. I just like to take my time, sip my coffee, read the paper, and relax before a busy day 🙂

It doesn’t take me long at all to get ready in the morning. I don’t wear makeup, and my hair is curly, so I usually just spray it with water or pull it back in a ponytail. It takes me about thirty minutes: I wake up about 6:30, and I’m out of the door by 7:00.
In 2010 I am looking forward to each and every day. I look forward to listening better and talking less. Weighing less and feeling good…
Beautiful giveaway!

I’m looking forward to calmer news reports on television and in the newspapers. That’s a tall order, since so many wordly traumas would have to be resolved, but I’m forever hopeful that it might be done!

Hi Sweetie…Well, it’s not good morning or good night for me…it’ four days after! I’m sorry I didn’t get here quicker! … I love your pendant Crystal, that color is just stunning!
I’d have to say it takes me about an hour and a half at a nice no-rush pace. If I really need to get out quick, I just throw my hair up in a ponytail, and I can be out the door in a flash…but most of the time I’m not rushing, plus I’m up early and I can fiddle around a lot before I have to be anywhere. 😉
I think what I’m wishing for MOST this year is continued happiness for everyone in my life. xoxo
In 2010, I am most looking forward to moving into my new apartment!
