winner winner chicken dinner.

i was laquering these bones for a necklace and i like how they look laid out that way.

all these crazy food makeovers are made from fast food meals re-arranged without anything added to make a much more appealing dining experience. and as the website says... "yeah its still bad for you - but see how good it can look"

wore the dress but swapped the velvet studded coat for my leather one.

how cool is this idea for a jewelry display from bluebirdheaven on etsy.

only downside.. i dont have 118 + shipping to drop on something like this after having to get my car fixed a few weeks back, but if i can find a cheap printers drawer on etsy or ebay i should be able to do it myself.
