Winter Storm Warning

Consider yourself warned...
Last one in their swimming suit and on the trampoline is a rotten egg.

My kids, and I, have been loving the rain! What is better than puddles and jumping on the tramp in the rain? 59 degrees is a little cold for me to get in a swimming suit though. I guess I am getting old!

Mmmm... jewelry

I got some new beads from my generous friend Jen, and I had to buy a few with all the good sales in the last week. So, I had a lot of fun relaxing making some jewelry over Christmas break. Sara and I had some good girl time together beading and watching old movies... "Pillow Talk", "How to Steal a Million", "Court Jester" and "Brigadoon". You can't go wrong with Dorris Day, Rock Hudson, Danny Kaye, Gene Kelly, Peter O'Toole (oh, those blue eyes!), Aubrey Hepburn... etc.

Here are a few of my creations.
I had a hard time getting a good shot of this because it is so sparkly and shiny.


Such a fun chunky bracelet!



I love this necklace. It has an antique feel to it. I have to keep it because Jen gave me a lot of the beads. I usually give away most of the jewelry I make, so it is great to HAVE to keep some. Thanks Jen.


This bracelet was one of my favorites! So girly.



Creating things, be it sewing, beading, photos or whatever, is such a stress reliever for me and so much fun. I love it! I also LOVE to share and give things away. I am so happy!
