I did this look for Thanksgiving, and kept it simple because the things that I am truly thankful for are the simple things that I have been blessed with. My family, children, friends and the ladies that I have gotten to know and love through my makeup addition. I am truly thankful for each and every one of those things ... and each one of you.
Tis a gift to be simple, Tis a gift to be free
Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
Twill be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shant be ashamed
To turn, turn twill be our delight
Till by turning and turning we come round right
Enjoy!

This is a very pretty, simple look. How do you like Make Up Forever's Lip Liners? I need to replace some of the current lip liners I have due to age.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and I love the soft subtle pink/almost lavendar look to it (to my eye, anyway!!).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, girl!!

ReplyDeleteI have to pull out Joyous Jennifer and give it another go. It is a great color on you.
ReplyDeleteI like the poem. Did you write it?
Lovely and elegant. I really enjoyed the poem too. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI guess I should have added where the lyrics came from. They are from an OLD Shaker folk song written in the 1700s called "Simple Gifts" ... I teach the song to my 4th and 5th graders in the Spring using handbells.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great comments everyone ... and keep em coming!
