Goodbye, bling...

And so we have saved the best for last in our trip down Memory Lane in Blingville...

There are just no words that can adequately sum that one up, are there? It's our own Melanie (a.k.a. Catwoman) with someone who resembles the Tin Man. More like the Tin Man from the 80's. Or something. He is quite silvery. And shiny. And blingy. Love it!

(And for the record, that's not Melanie's husband, either!)

It's only right that we bring you Melanie's bling project next...

All righty, kids. Let me lift my glass (of V8 Fusion... good stuff) in a toast to bling.

May we never forget the sparkle it brings to our projects.
May our use of it be inspired and abundant.
May we never spill an entire bottle of Dazzling Diamonds all of our work table.
But if we do (voice of experience), may each twinkle remind us of the power of bling.

Cheers!
Jessica
