Something I love about the women in my family is that we often speak our mind. Well, wait a minute, often is an understatement. We rarely hold our tongue would be a better way of putting it, and for the most part I appreciate this. Like it or not, you will know exactly where you stand when you are talking with one of us, for better–you look fantastic today sis– or worse, your butt is really starting to spread. So in a conversation yesterday with my beautiful big sis, she asked if she could give me some constructive criticism regarding my blog. My exact response was, “Oh no, what did I do?” She explained that one of my recent posts was a bit tacky and screamed “look at me, look at me, look at me.” She thought I should delete some of the pictures. I felt defensive when I got off the phone, and I did delete a picture…. I also made her a little gift. I think I’ll frame the above and give it to her for Christmas :).
Ahhhhh…I love my sisters. I wouldn’t trade them for the world. How about you? Do you share the same level of love and blunt honesty (and sarcasm) with your sisters?
p.s. Since I can’t seem to get over myself, I’ll take another egocentric moment to make a shameless plug for my store. A very smart and savvy lady suggested I try paypal instead of etsy, and I always listen to smart and savvy ladies! Check out my items on the right and help a poor girl out.

LOL you're too funny! I wish I had a sister! – I just have a brother, and we're not close.

BALANCE girlfriends….it's all about balance.
Ha! Her advice to me was the opposite – "You need a picture up there! I like to know who I'm reading. And you need to tell more about yourself…"
The ironic thing? We both took her advice. Just can't get away from being influenced by your big sister.
Love you both!

Sister are the best! I also have an older sister…sometimes you just have to let them have it huh?!?
I love the pic! you crack me up! : )
Good luck selling your stuff!
You go Beth!!
I hate pictures of myself, so if I found even one I liked it would be plastered all over ~ oh wait, that would be my profile pic. Sisters, gotta love 'em. My yougest sister and I are very much alike and she tells me like it is, no niceties. Me, I tell her like it is, but I try to sweeten it a bit.
Oh Beth, ya crack me up! Congrats on selling your stuff…wishing you much success!
Enjoy a fabulous weekend!
