I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

A Girls Best Friend

Many of you may instantly think diamonds,
right?

Wrong!

I'm talking any jewelery.
I have decided that I love it and...

that I definitely NEED more of it.
Every women does!

Jewelery does not ever say,
"You're fat."
It does not ever tell you when your butt has gotten bigger.

It sparkles, and shines, and says...
"Hey, your looking a little extra cute today."

For me, this is a big decision.
I have never been one to wear earrings and necklaces,

(and I'm still not so sure about necklaces)

but I have to tell you,
I think I've converted.

I love big sparkly rings,
love the look of big gody bracelets
and have even taken to dangley earrings.

How do you feel about a little...

BLING?!

Welcome aboard sis. Jewlery makes a so so outfit something more. I love Bling! I don't know why anybody wouldn't want to wear it. I love necklaces too, so you should invest in a couple great necklaces that you can mix and match with a few things.
