MIA

I want to apologize for being MIA. There are, unfortunately, happenings here on the homestead on a personal level that are keeping me away and busy from my blog! Thank you to Lana who emailed to check on me!! She also gave me a virtual hug that was JUST what I needed! Online friends are the best! They know when something is wrong or off, and are the first to notice and jump in when you need it most! Thank you!!! Hope to be out of this funk and creating soon! In the mean time, you all take care and thanks for being there for me!! :)

Do Over Challenge Blog Hop

Hello all! Check out Jeannie's Blog for the other participants in the Do Over Challenge Blog Hop! Jeannie sent us a piece of jewelry from her collection that she had made long ago. The challenge was to use at least 50% of the beads and make it into a new piece. I got incredibly lucky!! The piece I received had seed beads! So OF COURSE I made a beaded toggle out of them! I then agonized over what to do with the mother of pearl coins! I let it sit for days....then AH HA! I remembered my bead stash that I won in a giveaway from Kitty! The lampwork heart called to me and I wrapped, almost guiltily I might add, a Vintaj dragonfly around it.......then it just all came together after that!! I hope you like it as much as I do!!! Enjoy!!

Energy.....Where Have You Gone??

Hello All!! I wish I was like old Cartman above! I need my energy back! I have created some new things here, but the sun is eluding me so I have no pictures to show for it! Of course I am happy that the sun cam out this morning BUT I have to go get ready for work! Boo! If you find my energy, please return it! In the mean time I am off to work and then pick up Madelyn.....maybe the sun will still be out when we get home and I can get those pictures in! Energy and sun....2 things I need today! Have a great Monday!
