Elegance and Exotic Meet Love and Passion: Shebusa Creates Timeless Art #fashion

I have to admit that I am not a bling bling kinda girl anymore and enjoy the simpliar things in life, but I am a sucker for shiney colorful and the out of the ordinary. That is why these bracelets caught my eye. Made from various different leathers like ostrich, alligator, stingray, beavertail, frogskin and snakeskin, then combined with a shiney melted down metal that is fashioned into a bracelet just for your wrist.

Can we say Ohh La La ladies! I am loving the colors an vibrancy of these jewelry creations. I would love to get a gift like this, hint hint Mr Block... Lol. The blues and purples are my favorites, you can mix and match with outfits, the pink thin bracelet is so cute. I do appreciate that animals are not just harmed to make these either, the animal skins are by products of animals that have passed away somehow, not just killed to make jewelry.

Shebusa creates an elegant and timeless piece of jewelry created by the beauty of a wrist when a shiny metal bracelet is melted down and merged with an exotic skin selected for you with love and passion. Created by "Chris" a French designer who left the corporate world a few years ago to give something real to customers, the elegant custom designed bracelets by Shebusa that are custom created for each and every customer. You choose your design, the skin, the color to help insure that it’s a perfect fit for your personality and your wardrobe.

Breastfeeding does not suck!

Since I breastfed all 3 of my children, the month of August has some special meaning to my family. Breastfeeding has kept my children healthy, well and strong, I firmly belief that. All three have barely been on maybe 1-2 antibiotics, only one has had an ear infection, and they have only had the regular cold's and runny nose's. Breast is Best! You can look at my healthy breast babies and know it!

Did you know August is National Breastfeeding Month? For such a great cause, we've whipped up some fabulous PSA videos packed with celebs (like Kelly Rutherford, Ali Landry, Lisa Loeb, Constance Marie and Ana Gasteyer) and real moms who all have one thing in common: They breastfed their babies and are proud of it!

  

So Breastfeeding is Best, is does not suck.....well yeah the baby sucks, but the benefits don't!

Naked Trees~~ don't look Ethel!

Naked you say, yep, naked! Once full and voluptuous, overhanging grand branches of green leaves swaying in the southern breezes, now ............naked stark branches reach for the sky, screaming..........Don't look Ethel !

 This was the day..........the tree trimmers came to our house, after many

years of growth and more overgrowth, the enormous pin-oak trees

in our front yard needed a "hair-cut" if you will, and the larger than life, struck by lightening several times, walnut tree in the back yard just had to come down.

The fierce storms, winds and bitter cold winters we have had over many

years had left that poor walnut tree worn and broken. It's large limbs kept

crashing onto the house and would soon enough rip a hole thru the roof, into

our two daughter's shared room. 

But Hope does spring eternal and these trees will sprout new leaves again,

2 families got several loads of fire wood free for the winter

and I got a huge pile of mulch for the spring garden season.

My kiddos had fun counting the rings on those trees and climbing the big logs.

Silly girls had some fun~ that was the tree that almost fell right into

their bedroom after lightning hit it and several windy days

We had a log with pants(or shorts), sorta funny looking thing, with a

"big butt" my youngest said.

 

 And our surprise log~~

Call it what you will (we thought of a few)

Yin and Yang

Love and Laughter

2 hearts intertwined

tree amoebas

alien eyeballs stuck in a tree forever

Lightning strikes

Evil Twins

A pregnant tree (with alien babies of course)

What do you think?
