Our Weekend at Bedford Springs

I think we love this place! The Omni Bedford Springs has a Groupon occasionally and I always take advantage of it. Over St. Patrick's Day weekend, we went up to Bedford for the weekend and had a fantastic time!

We went shooting at the Bedford Sportsman's Club - it's the first time I've been shooting since I was 16 - and even then, I didn't have lessons. I didn't do so great, but look at my form!

Getting silly at the Jean Bonnet Tavern!

Fancy drinks at the Jean Bonnet Tavern!

Fun place to go for food and drink!

He got the only one!

Caught in action!

One of the three hiking trails they have there - it ended up my boyfriend got a tick on this walk and is now waiting to see if he has lyme disease...

Funky tree trunk!

Hi! Looks like you had a great time...except for the possible Lyme disease. Hope everything turns out ok for your boyfriend.

Hey girl! Other than the ticks, it's a great town, huh? haaaaaaaaa I'm headed up there this weekend and can't wait to spend some time with all my nephews. When I was little we used to swim out at the Sportsman's Lake and I'll never forget how we'd scream when we saw any kind of nature in the water...snakes, frogs, fish, whatever. Hilarious!
Hope all's well!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party! What is a Bead Soup Blog Party? Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1.

Another quick post!

I know, I'm on a roll today. Even though I got a late start, I've made beads, made posts, done some scrabble tiles, now I have to fold some laundry and think about dinner. Just wanted to post a photo and link to the ebay auction of mine that started last night - I like the beads, they have a southwest feel and would make a fantastic focal piece in a bracelet, or a whole bracelet too! You can click on them to go to the auction!

Art Elements April Theme Challenge - Repurpose

The AE Theme Challenge this month is Repurpose chosen by Lesley. Great subject, and I wish I had more time to work on it. The day job kind of takes away my creative energy at times, and this month is no exception! However I did manage to do a few things! The first thing I thought of for the theme was something I had been thinking about for a long time. I remembered I had this magazine that repurposed those desiccant containers you get in pill bottles into beaded beads. I set out to find that magazine in my stash. I'm glad I found it, because it was actually driving me nuts as to where it was. Here are some photos of me in the process of making some of these beads. So the first one I made, I liked ok. But noticed on the end that you could see the white container through the ends. So I got a sharpie out for the next one, and colored the ends so they didn't look so white. Then I made a few more of these beads, and quite honestly, I was done with...
