Skulls In My Closet

OK...By now most of you know that I love making my Day of the Dead Skully focals...I am an old time Dead Head and have always had a fondness for skulls...After many visits to New Mexico I learned that "Day of the Dead" is actually a celebration, where family and friends gather to pray for and remember loved ones who have passed on...
One of my lampwork friends, Amber, whose Etsy Shop is Naos, gave me encouragement and help when I wanted to make my first skull after seeing one of hers...I started making my skulls for Halloween but realized shortly after several sales that they can be worn anytime of year...It just so happens that this time of year they seem to be most popular...I hope you enjoy my Skully creations...

Happiness...

"Tell everyone you know: "My happiness depends on me, so you're off the hook." And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they're doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for th e way you feel—and then, you'll love them all. Because the only reason you don't love them, is because you're using them as your excuse to not feel good."
