I tried. I really did but I just don't have it in me right now. I love this community that we have and I don't want reality to intrude on this lovely wonderland so I am taking a break from blogging. I hope to be back sometime soon. I am dealing with life-changing issues but, thank goodness, they are not life-threatening.
So, in my absence, I want to leave you with some fun diversions. I know that you problaby clicked over to me to see some pretties. I wish that I had some of my own to share with you. But since I don't right now, you can click on the links below for some fun.
Links that always make me smile...
Apple Dumplings(with a surprise ingredient)
Marie Antoinette + New Order = divine!
Meg Cabot - love her books and love her even more - fun!
Mika's "Big Girls (You are beautiful)"
Betsey Johnson Fashion Shoot and Spring 2008 Fashion Show
Magnolia Pearl at Marburger
Pamela Anderson's Malibu Beachhouse
And I will leave you with this..so utterly beautiful...it takes my breath away...
See you soon, friends.
EDIT: The links are now working. That new Typepad has a few kinks still. Sorry.
Dawn, been so worried about you. I am hoping that sometime soon you will feel the happiness that you deserve... keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. xo Heather

Hi Dawn!! Thanks for the super fun links! I love the "big girls" video!! Makes me not feel so bad for gaining 10 lbs in the last few months! LOL!! Also, I love Pam Anderson's beach house and that ad with the bouncing balls is great!

Dawn, I think of you often and hope that no matter what you're going through, you will find peace. I miss reading your blog and seeing all your pretty things, but I completely understand needing a break. I hope we will see you again here when you feel like you can come out to play again.
