Do you remember when Christmas was filled with toys that sometimes required batteries, the bigger the stuffed animal the better, parents stayed up hours to put together bicycles, and hours spent sitting around the tree with the family? No one thinking of working on Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day and the biggest stressor was often the drunk Aunt passed out on the sofa after sneaking a bit too much Rum in her Eggnog. Now, everyone under 25 is glued to a phone/laptop/tablet and the gifts always have something to do with video games or computers which makes them small, and the invention of gift cards, though convenient they taken much of the fun out of opening gifts, in my opinion. As we continue to grow more and more attached to our technological devices the more distant we grow from each other, it seems. When our family gets together there is a basket for all the devices to be tossed in during "family" events, like dinner, movies or like later this week, Christmas. Everything has become automatic, convenient, and easy yet the times before that seem easier and I truly long for them. Even my family, who cherishes our time together has gone to checks the month before so we can buy what we want and part of me really hates that system. I long to be surprised on Christmas morning again with a gift I never would have thought to buy for myself and I wish for a time when tons of presents are stacked under the tree, or at least a couple special ones. In the end, I guess I wish for a simpler time when everything wasn't automatic.

I love those moments when you just plop down somewhere to set up a scene and I realize that the pose I just randomly sat in captured my mood perfectly. I often find myself staring out the window when it's cold outside and daydreaming of the beach, or a warm fire, or cuddles with a special someone and today is one of those days where I seem to be doing a whole lot of nothing besides staring out the window. When I spotted this pose in the Battered Chair from unKindness I knew I had found the place to capture my mood.
Drifting off into the shadows I can hear the waves lapping at the beach as it creeps forward as the tide comes in; the warmth of the sun on my skin and the feel of your hand clasped in mine as we walk along the beach. Perfectly at peace with a smile on my face, the chill of the storm on the horizon fades from my bones and for a moment I am caught in a daydream.

I hope everyone is having a good Saturday and that you have all recovered from the holiday over eating extravaganza and that you are all ready to get some shopping done! The Fall Fest from Vogue will be wrapping up in the next week, as will Sneak Peek from Penumbra. This adorable little dress from YumZ is currently at Fall Fest and it inspired me to pair it up with this gorgeous jewelry set by Elysium that you can pick up at Sneak Peek!
I love these shoes from Bens Boutique, that came with an outfit at Vintage and Cool a couple of months ago. So check the store to see if they are available outside the outfit. I have recently discovered Lumae skins, and I have to say I think they are wonderful! The skins are reasonably priced and the appliers are only 99L for each skin tone, and I mean ALL appliers! I found them through the Lazy Sunday group, as I have found a lot of other creators that I had not known of before, or hadn't had the chance to try yet because honestly, paying full price scares me sometimes when it comes to skins. Yes, I know demos are great and everything, but we all know that often times the demos only come with one example, and you don't get a chance to see the WHOLE product, so getting to pick up a skin from someone you haven't tried before for 75L or under, is FANTASTIC!
PosESion is having a wonderful sale through tomorrow night so hurry on over and pick up your new poses for 199L! I used the "XPlosion" set for these pics and I just love them!
