Glitter Girl

In my head, the title Glitter Girl is self explanatory. However, just because it makes sense to me, doesn’t mean it will make sense to everyone else who may venture into this blog. Ever since I can remember, I loved anything that sparkles and glitters. It can come in the form of sequins, bangles, spangles or any kind of bling. As long as it’s shiny, bright, or gleaming, or has brilliant color, like rainbows, and prisms or has real or imitation gem stones, I love it. I used to say I loved anything that was “glitz and glam” as I put it. I think these things are actually symbols of more important things, positive feelings, like happiness, hope, goodness, possibilities, memories of holidays and other fond memories of days gone by. When I see these things, they always make me smile. I will probably never outgrown this love and I am going to try to incorporate one or more of these elements into the things I create. In spite of the love of Glitz and Glam, I am definitely not a glam girl. I am more like a blue jeans and tank or tee girl. But, the sparkle and shine always catches my eye. In short, everything looks better when it glitters.

I have one sister and five brothers Julie. My sister turned out to be the "girly-girl" and I loved to play with my brothers' Tonka trucks when I was little. LOL.

Anyway, I'm most comfortable in jeans and don't wear sequins on my clothes, but when it comes to what catches my eye, like you, it's shiny, glittery, colorful, rainbow prism-like beauty. I get it. I think you hit it when you wrote that this symbolizes happiness and possibilities. I'm looking at my crystal collection and I have one pyramid within a pyramid here on the desk. You would love it. I also have a crystal castle that I bought at Disney World that I've had for almost 20 years now. I will take photos this afternoon of my favorite crystal objects and be sure you get the link.

Consider it a "get well" gift from me to you!
