0 Terrific Tuesday 7/10/12

So, yesterday my AC went out!  Yep, in the HOT summer in North Florida.... we had no AC.  Our Repair Guy came out and turned out we thought we had to replace some parts.  Now, this morning when he started working on it we found out there was even more wrong......now it looks like we will have to replace the entire unit.... yep, $2,300!!!!  OMG!!  But, considering it was over 90o last night in the house - with 5 fans going - we don't have much choice!!  So, the Repair Guy is off to get the new unit and we'll go from there. Wish us luck.... I think I need to have a FLASH - help me pay for my AC sale, what do you think?

But on another note, a really GOOOOOD note....over the weekend I received my bead swap from Fire Phoenix Jewellery.  I am just so amazed at how beautiful these beads are!!  Just look what I have to work with:

And the even more amazing thing is that she made the clasp and the beautiful headpins!!  Oh My Goodness, I am going to have so much fun!!

Remember to check back and watch this creation in the process.  I can't show you the whole things until until the reveal - ours is on the second one on 8/11.

Today's featured artist is JulieKnowlesPottery.  Her amazing Pottery is not only beautiful to look at, but also very practical.  You really should check out her studio and read about how she is inspired by the red rocks of Sedona to the North, Mingus Mountain to the South, and the gentle, life-giving Verde River flowing through the desert in between.
