ROFL...I turned 43 a few weeks back, how do you think *I* feel about that!!!!
My 30's were too hectic to truly enjoy....my kids were born when I was 29 and 32. Most of the last decade is a fog of diapers to homework, capped off by a divorce (my mid-life crisis LOL). So far, my 40's are being MUCH better.
God, that sounds like me. I had my first at 30, my next at
I turned 40 in a motel room with my 2 boys (7 and 9 at the time) while doing my first out of town show. My husband had walked out on us 2 years earlier. Barbara Dream Master

Lol. I'd go back to 30 because I was just getting pretty together by then. I'd NEVER go back to 20 though. Ugh. I don't even want to admit I knew me then.
:) So far so good! My life has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year or so, and I am hoping the 30's go just as well. :) My hubby turned 30 last November. We tease him mercilessly, but really, he says nothing's changed. He was going grey five years ago, so that's no problem. :)
I'll be 46 on August 24, and I keep thinking "Wow, I'm almost 50! Do you know how old that used to be?" And I look at my almost 25 year old nephew and think "I could be his mother, and have been an adult when he was born"!! How could I possibly BE that old??!! LOL!
Unfortunately, my 40's have not been all that great...my lifelong battle with depression reached its peak (or its ebb) in the past couple of years, partly due to menopause (the hormonal changes) and partly due to the loss of my corporate identity (I mean job) and more importantly, the deaths of my parents 11 months apart.
I am just coming back enough to be able to move out of my sister's house and be on my own again (and I had been on my own for a verrrrrry long time) and to start looking for work again. I have enjoyed our artwork and we are becoming more successful at it, but my sister has been shouldering the capital investments for the last year, so I need (and want) to go back to a steady paycheck to help finance the company for the next year or so.
And so it goes, and so I go. I know the depression is lifting...I can see the sun.
Congratulations. That must be a Beatles chorus I hear in the back ground (cue music: "here comes the sun, here comes the sun. I'm all right.") Barbara Dream Master

Ooooooh, that is such a great idea! Do you use them on beads? I'm seeing teeny butterfly stickers applied as resist to a white bead with purple enamel, then sandblasted.
Do you think stickers would stand up to sandblasting? I might have to try it.
