Guess what?

I won a very HP giveaway! I told you all about this the other day, but here are some pictures :) If you want to get yourself something like it, go visit Mary Rebecca's Etsy shop! She makes beautiful handmade jewelry that is NOT limited to this awesome-possum snitch locket!

In other, sadder, news, I have to go to a very abrupt, and unexpected funeral this week for a childhood friend. While we weren't very close, another of my very good friends was extremely close to her when we were young. It's an extremely sad situation, and I hope that if any of you, or if you know of anyone who is struggling so much with anything happening in their lives, that they would resort to suicide as a way out, would do your best to get yourself or your friend help. Not that any of you wouldn't, but less things like this need to happen in the world. So, if you could all keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers, I would so greatly appreciate it. <3 <3

  1. I am SO JEALOUS of that win. That necklace is amazing! I totally want one.

    And on a more serious note, I'm so, so sorry to hear of your friend. As you may know, my ex-boyfriend committed suicide - it's one of the most painful things I can imagine surviving. It's just so very senseless & hard to comprehend...

    I'm also sorry for the loss of our childhood friend. I've had a few friends who have taken their own lives, and it is a really hard thing to have to deal with.
