Such a cool idea... and Little Bean is such a cutie pie!!
I trust you is a better compliment than I love you, because you may not trust the person you love, but you can always love the person you trust. - UnknownRelationships are like sharing a book, it doesn't work if you're not on the same page.

Love love love it!!
This takes me to my happy place.
Makes me wish I hadn't thrown my dress out (I secretly cut it up before trashing it). I'd LOVE to do something like this. I may yet find a stunt dress to do it in.
I recently attended a charity race day event that my boss hosts (I walked it). There was a team there called "Divawesome". I thought they were Divas but they said no, we're Divorced and Awesome!!
I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!

That's great! I LOVE that! I felt divorced and awesome!

I kept telling myself that this gorgeous dress DESERVED to be worn more than once!!! And, NOW...it has an even BETTER memory than when I wore it for my wedding! It represents my freedom....my independence....my unrelenting sprint into my incredibly bright and unwritten future!!! It represents the new me..... and it was the best NB moment to date!!!!!

Thank you so much! :-) I'm thinking of getting the following 2 enlarged! I think they are really good ones of Piper and I together!

Well, the place that is doing my professional canvas pictures said that they can't enlarge the one of me in the wedding dress holding piper because it pixelates...(don't ask me what that means...) but maybe that is for the best. My bestie thinks that if I see that picture it will make me angry because I will automatically think of XWH.... I kinda disagree....but who knows! OH WELL! But, the one of Piper in the tutu and me holding her hands works! :-)

That is so cool! Wedding dresses should be colourful like that to begin with.
When I got married I refused to spend the money on a wedding dress b/c I thought what the heck am I going to do with it afterwards?? If only I had known what was possible...
