That's It. No More Dresses Until Next Year!


I went crazy this week. Culminating in the purchase of "THE SPECIAL DRESS." Even though the total spent on everything else this week was LESS than $40 (and I got 10 outfits for that...) I'm not buying any more until next year. Yes, dear, you (and everyone else) can (and should) remind me of that from time to time ... but gosh, just look at it! And it was the LAST one this lady will ever make of this design.

Hopefully Dennis won't kill me in my sleep when he finally sees this. ;-)

I decided to come back in and ad the web address for the Ebay store where I purchased this. When I sent my payment I discovered the seller's name is Mei Li, which predisposes me to want to advertise for her a little. Besides, she makes beautiful dresses. Custom sizes too. http://stores.ebay.com/princess-trunk-Designs
