If Only You Try

Think left and think right

and think low and think high.

Oh, the thinks you can think up

if only you try!

~Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!

I'm often told that I live my life in a fantasy all my own

I'm not to often concerned about what others think

or what is proper or expected

the word ordinary is perhaps the most terrifying word

in all the english language

next to Dentist that is

but for all the uniqueness that is me

I desperately and most fervently wish

that my mind could let go of pain

and anger, frustration, regrets, and disappointments

because I truly believe that these things

are what drive our inner child to hide deep

within ourselves

even when they do come out from the shadows

they are timid and reluctant to play

What short childhood so many of us have

we fall victim the world around us

We loose our ability to believe in magic

and in time even in ourselves

Do you still know your inner child?

Are you close friends after all these years?

Or do you believe that "childhood" is a place in time

rather than a place inside yourself?

I think we are most guarded with our imaginations

when we are playing with children

Is it that we feel we must be the adult in the room?

or are we afraid of falling down the rabbit's hole?

We play along but we don't open our eyes

to the world of their creation right in front of us

I don't know why I've gone all philosophical on my blog today

I came here to share some cute photos from a recent photo shoot

and instead got lost in my own thoughts

I think it's because I am around children so rarely

that when I am I fascinated by how very rigid I have become

my imagination is more like an old guitar

dusty and out of tune

sure it can still make noise

but you would hardly call it music

Well on to business ^^

first off I absolutely must thank my new friends Kayla and Fontanna

for being such wonderful pals and helping me get

some new photos to showcase my headbands

and of course to little Guin who charmed our socks off

and brought to life the most beautiful horse in the parade

I now have 27 newly posted YoYo headband listed in my shop

Next week I'll have some new products to share with you

and maybe even a giveaway

what do you think? Do you gals like giveaways? ^-

Here are a few of my favorites

Check out my shop to see them all

and I'm currently offering a killer deal

if you purchase 3 headbands I'll send you the 4th for FREE

if you do the math that makes each headband is just $10.50

which is a great steal - I mean deal!

These are truly a labor of love

I try not to think about how much time goes into

making each one ^^
