"I almost wished we were butterflies and lived but three summer days. Three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain."
My version of "God will give me justice":
"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."-G.K. Chesterton, featured in Coralineby Niel Gaiman
Kaiya
Loves animals, especially kittens and horses, faeries, books, friends, art and anything pink. She can be sweet or spunky but is always sympathetic to little people.
Trooper
Loves Star Wars, Legos, cars, video games, math, running and has a laugh that is highly contageous and will send whole crowds into fits of giggles.
Arienna
Loves her blanky, Abby Cadabby, shoes, sunglasses, purses, polly pockets, My Little Ponies, Yo Gabba Gabba, and to be chased and tickeled.

Tori Amos Rocks My Socks
"Tori is wise and witchy and wickedly innocent. What you see is what you get: A little delirium, a lot of delight. There's fairy blood inside her ( I'm not saying she was born with it. She may have done something nasty to some otherwise innocent fairies in order to obtain it) , and a sense of humor that shimmer and illuminates and turns the world upside down." -Neil Gaiman
Together Forever
"...she was simply entranced, for it seemed to her as if the sun was setting behind Anakin's shoulders and not behind the horizon, as if he was big enough to dismiss the day. Orange flames danced about his silhouette, dulling the distinction between Anakin and eternity." -R.A. Salvatore Attack of the Clones novelization
"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about and that was the beginning of faeries." - J.M. Barrie
Head on over to my shop blog to see all the goodies I've been making for TwiCon. There is also a new blog button to the right for easy access in the future.
Here's a little preview...
Little Unreliable Vampires byThe Black Pumpkin
He and other Twilight inspired creations are the reason I haven't been blogging lately. Each doll takes about 3-4 hrs to make to it has been very time consuming, to say the least. But I hope to be back in a couple weeks to post a children's book give-a-way, more shop stuff, more family stuff, and more "Britten-ish" stuff, of course. =)
Two weeks ago, TwilightMOMS was invited to go to Hollywood and be interviewed by E! Entertainment. Myself, THE Lisa (creator extraordinaire of TwilightMOMS.com), and fellow site members Mary (Calicat) and Kim (mayfayre) were privileged to be able to be a part of it all. We had tons of fun together, as we TMs always do, had lunch, shopped and The Lisa had a little smack down with a speed bump but she's doing fine now. =)
Here is a little video mix I did to Blue October's "X Amount of Words" with clips and pictures from that day:
*sorry....I'm just getting the hang of my new little Flip Mino HD so my hand is sorta shaky on the video....blah....
And here is the actual segment from today's E! News show.
We gave them tons of pictures from Forks, a vampire ball, other get-togethers, as well as talked a lot more about the website's different features and sections, finding fabulous, long-time friends from TMs and we even got to talk about the jewelry and t-shirts we were wearing. Of course, they only had a few minutes to cram all that in but there may be a longer segment on the E! News website next week so stay tuned!
Also, I have a new button on the top right side of my blog that takes you directly to the TwilightMOMS homepage. If you are a blogger and would like to get this button for your site, I've provided the code directly underneath. I also fixed the button code for our official TwilightMOMS charity Alex's Lemonade Stand if you'd like the code for that as well.
My name is Britten. This is my personal blog. I create. I craft. I dream. I read. I design. I ponder deeply. I write. I collect. I love. I also get a little fangirly every now and then..
