I got this iN an email today:Last
night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I
said to her,
'I never want to live in a vegetative state,
dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that
ever happens, just pull the plug.'
She got up,
unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine......Brat!

Sorry I Havent written in a while... summer just flies by so fast, with only so many hours in a day!! I have decorated many christmas trees this year already! Boy, I never get tired of it! I Love to use what ever they personally collect, and then incorporate it into the decor! My favorite tree so far this year was a "Tea cup tree" dripping with Limoges and china teacups! The handles make perfect holders!
Anyone else done anything out of the ordinary in your decor?
p.s.Not to toot my own horn... but its pretty fun thatI am featured in M magazine (Northshore wine edition) This month, at a clients' that was photographed Last year! It was a beautiful house and the excitement was all in the air!tomorrow I will do a beautiful house in Brookfield!Chow fellow crafters!
Musings from Vanessa...

Blog-ing with Style...
********************************************
This is a pep talk: yep... here it is
"There's always room for a Happy Day..."
So Start using yours!!!!
Some times I wake up with a clarity ...
A Day that is a blessing, and a gift.
I've been inspired with just a couple
"brain blurbs"
*************************
"Use your space "(as in live the day!)
such a carpe diem attitude!
It's as old as the hills, but also so simple.
*Accessorize Liberally! This means scatter yourself around (dont be a bump on your chair!) make the effort to reach out and do something Extraordinary!
*What is failure? as I see it,
it's never something that we have to accept permanently...
..Look at it this way...
You can ALWAYS get something out of the situation......
Its what you take out of it!
you will get... some kind of knowledge..., some contact with another personality..., another view point for whatever...Maybe A Lesson Learned... How about just a way too see, another Way to live!!! Is that a failure? Absolutely Not!
Isnt it exciting?
Life is that way!...it really is! We all have this opportunity!
So,... in answer to the question :
What would you do with your life if you could not fail.?...
Answer is...:Start livin it!! Really Jumping in with both feet!
********************
ok ... for you skeptics...Hear me out,
for those of you that need some one to SCREAM at you from the rooftops!!!....
AAAARRRGGG!!
of course... There are going to be Trials in your Life ...Think of the person sitting in an asylum , who has lost brain functions, cant walk, cant taste food, cant smell , cant HAVE YOUR LIFE?!
Most of us are not this catatonic state,
it always helps to look at something or someone worse than you ...
but really,How are you Dealing with YOUR Life situation...?
Is every thing a bother...... or an opportunity?
Are you feeling this? or backing away, thinking "I cant get this..."
Let's try this for a scenario, .... another way to try Life...
say,We are starting the day.... Start with your outlook... What are you going to bring with you for today?
If you have your suitcase packed with the wrong stuff for "Living" you are not going to be prepared for
Real Life!!..
Hurrying....
fear,
doubt,
anger,
jealously,
worry,
these all take up way too much room time and energy...
(why would you want to waste any of YOUR LIFE on this crap?) I mean really.. what does any of it accomplish?
Have you ever said this?: "I remember the time I was so glad that I was ___ (angry, worried, fill it in) all day
because that really helped the situation! YEAH RIGHT!
This is your Life and YOU get to choose!!
Try to Remember to pack a lot of:
*Smiles... (it comes in every language, color and size!)
*an Attitude Adjustment kit! Sometimes,It takes a little effort on your part...
*Special Outlook Glasses! (just to see things as they really are, in the right perspective)
*a Sparkle or two! hee hee
* Eyes to see where you really ARE in Your Life!
* A compassionate heart to feel for others who have not grasped on to this reality that this is your ONE life, every day is special, and it is happening RIGHT NOW!
really, take this with you, hold it close to your soul , and USE your space in this life here on earth!!!!Your Life is Special!
There is always room for a Happy Day!!!
SO...START USING YOURS!!!
Smiles~Vanessa

With all of the movies theaters being torn down in my neck of the woods (On capitol in pewaukee, and in brookfeild..)
I was just wondering if any one knows any thing about the new MEGA theater they are building by sams club?
My BIG question is :
Are they going to have the new theaters that show 3d movies ( the kind you dont need glasses for?) Its the latest technology... that would bring me out of my easy chair of watching movies I download on my computer and bring me back to the theater!!
(The kind that Gwen Stefani's vides was the first film shot in ever?)
Hmmm just wonderin....THAT would be SO COOL!!!!
V.
And here is the scoop...
Sure, they keep saying its a singing contest...
but lets take a reality check!!~
