Altered Beauty - then & now

I've recently become a HUGE fan of Pinterest!  If you don't have an account there yet, leave me a comment with your email address and I'll personally invite you!  It's a great place to, yes, waste time, but, ...  it's wasting... while enriching your life, if that makes sense.  ... And organizing your life.  So, anyway, send me your email address.  You'll be glad you did.

Very interesting when you put it that way, huh?  What do you think?
