Beads and Tagged


I listed some more pairs in the etsy store - I think these are great for low-cost holiday gifts! I'll be listing some more later today, as well. Also, I have been tagged by Leslie at Bei Mondi (who I am meeting tomorrow for lunch!) to tell you seven things you may not know about me! So here goes!

1. I am incredibly afraid of heights - that being said, whenever I travel and there's a tall thing to climb (Tower of London, Warwick Castle, Leaning Tower of Pisa) I will do it because I'm there!

2. I am incredibly allergic to cats, but I love them so much. I hope someday to get two more - I really miss my Tom and BooBoo.

3. I have a Master's Degree in Human Resources and I really HATE the business world.

4. I have never taken an art class (after elementary school), but think I do pretty well on my beads and with color, if I do say so myself! I have taken classes at the Pittsburgh Glass Center.

5. At the end of the day, sometimes my guilty pleasure is to watch reality tv - Survivor and The Hills. My engineer teases me about this. Sneers, really...

6. I absolutely love the Caribbean and those tasty rum drinks they make and snorkeling and watching my engineer have a great time scuba diving - and this year, the engineer and I are going to miss our couple-time trip. I'm sad about that.

7. Even though I say he looks like a rat, or a chipmunk, I talk to the gerbil sometimes and enjoy giving him treats, because I actually think he likes me!

That's great that you can get the strength to tackle the fear of heights. I bet it makes your trips even more memorable to say that you went all the way to the top.

Can't wait to see you at lunch tomorrow!

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.

Puppies!

I just had to include this photo of my friend Beth's new puppies. They are 11 week old Jack Russell Terriers. The smaller one is the runt of the litter, but too cute. They are Libby and Lucy!!! Click on the photo to see them bigger!

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!
