Mish Mirror making party for The Golden Nugget Sisters Extraquaker
September 5, 2023
In the bustling workshop, amidst the aroma of burning nag champa wax melts and the faint sound of gaggling nuns, there's an air of excitement as the Spokane Sisters meticulously crafted the Mish Mirrors for the Golden Nugget Sisters of Denver extraquaker. Each mirror is not just a reflective surface but a vessel of honor and reverence for many of us Sisters.
As we Sisters poured our hearts into this work, there is a palpable sense of joy emanating from our every movement. We understand the significance of these mirrors, not just as objects but as symbols of empowerment and acceptance. With every stroke of E6000 and every delicate embellishment, we imbue the mirrors with love and respect, honoring the sacred tradition of the Sisters.
As these mirrors took shape, anticipation builds, and when they're finally completed, there was a collective sigh of satisfaction and pride. Holding the finished mirrors in our hands, we all felt a profound sense of fulfillment, knowing that we have just contributed to something much larger than ourselves.
And when the Sisters receive these mirrors, we will know their faces will light up with sheer delight and gratitude. We will know that they truly recognize the craftsmanship and dedication poured into each mirror, and we know they will embrace them with open arms, knowing that these mirrors will not only reflect their own beauty but also the strength and resilience of their community.
In that moment, amidst the laughter and celebration, there's a profound sense of connection and unity, as the gift of the Mish Mirrors becomes a symbol of love and solidarity, transcending boundaries and spreading joy to all who behold them.
Thank You Sister Mish and thank you Golden Nugget Sisters for allowing us to continue a time honored tradition.
Much glittery love, joy, and happiness,
