Fabulous Friday 12/30/11 

Yesterday's Tantrum Thursday received a BUNCH of responses.  I am always amazed at how personal issues really hit home with my followers.  There were SO many people who agreed with me and said that technology in almost any form is OK for their kids, but that it is the parents responsibility to monitor that technology. 

As this YEAR comes to a close I am just so shocked at all the things that have happened to my family, my business and even to me personally.  It has truly been a year of changes!

But, before we go into the New Year I want to show off more of our Christmas.  These are photos from Christmas eve at my Mom-in-laws/Brother-in-laws house.  Between our family and theirs there are SIX - yes, I said SIX - children. One of the best presents received was my mom-n-law.  Both families went in on an iPod Nano for her.  Yes, if you watch the slideshow it is the little tiny item inside the BIG box!!  It was so fun - and something she really wanted!

2 Fabulous Friday 10/26/12

Oh my goodness, it really is Friday - and yes, it is FABULOUS!!!  What a week this has been.  Lots of home time, lots of family time and of course, lots of BEADING time!!  I have to say that if my life was full of weeks like this.......well.......I am not sure I'd ever leave the house!!!!

Today I am going to keep working on my 'brown' creation.... not sure what I will name her yet!  Here is what she started out like:

and on my second try this is were I am now.....

For today, I do have a new listing.  I have fallen in love with Carnelian this season, it is such a beautiful gemstone.  So, this is another set made from Carnelian.  This one is much more eclectic than my usual style, but it would be so cute on a Black sweater!!

For today I would like to leave you with this thought;

Never decide to do nothing just because you can only do a little.  Do what you can.
