Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

UPDATE—Nikki from Scarlet Rose Garden, has inserted links into the comments she made here (not on her site) for how to use hair pins. Check it out.

For a surprise, scroll down and watch the music video but read my comment below the video first.

I watched the above video on YouTube and thought, ‘why not’? I’ve been in bed for 3 days with a cold and I’m going a bit stir crazy. First, let me say a few things. This was not easy, but I like how it turned out and I will do this for Halloween for handing out candy, if I can fit into my wedding dress. It is perfect since it has so much beading on it and has these huge, lace bell sleeves. What else am I going to do with it? I’ll have no children to pass it on to so it may as well have some glory all its own.

Instead of the ‘rat’ she’s talking about in the vid, I used my bath scrunching thingy. those plastic mesh ’sponges’. You know what I’m talking about don’t you! lol It worked great. Just make sure to anchor that sucker. I’m going to ask Nikki if she will do a brief guest blog on hair pins. The ones I used are popping out all over. I think the lady in the vid used those, ‘old fashioned’ kind that look like hair pin curves. If you live in or near mountains, you know what I’m talking about. In the vid, she only used power on the face and none in the hair. I used a base of foundation paler than my natural skin tone and followed up with this great, white sparkley body power I have. I also applied it liberally in my hair which didn’t show up in the pics very well but it looks good in person. I need to work on the extra powder in my hair line. All my make-up is from Mary Kay. It’s all I use. I was going to pin a crystal necklace in my hair but I forgot so I’ll do it on Halloween. Tech Hubby took all the pics, what a sweetheart! Next time, I’ll do more of a ‘bow’ mouth and only color in the center and not so much towards the outside. So, are you ready to see how I turned out? The scene on the fan is of a boy learning how to fence in what appears to be the garden of a French court. Please elt me know what you think. Wish I could do this all the time, but I don’t like being stared at! lol

Okay, added photo of me with the wedding dress on.

In this music vid, look closely in the beginning when they are taking shoes off the shelf, underneath the chairs, is a pair of high top sneakers! I had to watch it twice I couldn’t beleive my eyes!

I was watching Inside Edition today, and they aired a story about a dog who was shot on its owner’s property by a local sheriff. Although the death of the dog is tragic, I’m more concerned with why the sheriff was on her property in the first place. Get this, he was asking for directions. Directions? The last time I checked, law enforcement vehicles were equipped with these new fangled things called, radios, that allowed people to talk to each other over long distances. That sheriff should not have been on that home owner’s property. No way, no how. Why couldn’t he call dispatch to get directions? Why couldn’t he look it up on his laptop? Don’t city/county vehicles have laptops or gps devices in them? Now, because of the sheriff’s incompetence, a home owner is out her friend, companion and protector, and it’s not the sheriff!

Psalms 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

Psalms 47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

Isaiah 59:19-20
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
