This charm would be lovely on it's own as a pendant on a necklace chain.

When I took this picture of a vintage Virgin Mary medal to list in my ETSY store I felt this picture was something special. My husband
happened to be working out of his home office at the same time, so I showed him my
product shots for my ETSY listings because I thought my pictures
came out pretty good. He looked over all of them and said they looked
great, but that he really loved this picture of the Virgin Mary.
My
husband happens to be a really good photographer and he shoots with a
digital slr and several lens that cost more then my little digital one
shot wonder... so I was pretty pleased that he liked my picture. But
then he proceeded to ask me for the medal and told me, he wanted to try
to shoot it himself out in our sun room. Of course I gave him the medal
and not at all grudgingly- but when I went back to work listing I
couldn't help but wonder how much better or more artistic his photograph
would turn out.
After about ten minutes, he returned with the medal.
"I couldn't get it," he said as he went back to work on his computer.
"Your picture looks almost ghostly."
I returned to my listings smiling- I don't know what I was afraid of. My original picture was just perfect the way it was shot.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and not a threat.
Here's a fabulous book I found this week at a thrift store. Now- generally sex education books are a dime a dozen, but this one is so cool with it's cut out illustrations. Let's take a look together, at How Babies Are Made by Andrew C. Andry and Steven Scehpp and illustrated by Blake Hampton. This should be fun and educational to say the least...
Did you know you started out to be the size of a pencil? Me neither- maybe that's why your brothers always called you "pencil neck?" Go figure...
Here's a picture that shows it takes two animals to make a new baby animal, but did you ever wonder how your breakfast was made?
Oh my- here's how it was done-your scrambled eggs were made for you with love by chickens. Here's a picture of chicken love!
Here come the eggs. YUM YUM! I really understand Veganism now.
How about puppies? You like puppies, want to know how puppies are made? Check out this cute doggy family.
WHOA there buddy- that's a friendly puppy! Step away from the dog if it looks like this, kids. Frankly- this picture sums up why I am a "cat person" myself...
Let's just skip the dog part and get to the people part of the book... because what you really came here for is "How Babies Are Made."
Remember the two animals well- it takes two people. Two naked people (hey I used to look like that before I had five kids- sort of).
I hear Barry White music now...
Now here we see the baby growing inside it's mama- pretty cool stuff, eh?
After 9 months or so, the baby is ready to come out. Some babies sooner then others and some later- but here he comes. Come to think of it I have never seen a picture of a cleaner birth in my life. Looks easy- huh kids?
Well there is a little clean up- see that squiggly thing, that thing gets cut off. Be careful- doctor!
Here's the new baby with it's mama- isn't that sweet...
and here you are with all your friends. Now you know how babies are made. Put some clothes on kids!
