Happy New Year!

Hello all!!!  Hope you are all doing great and having a wonderful new year.  It's been too long since I have posted on my blog.  Over Christmas break I finally had some time to make some beads.  I just added several new boro bead sets and some earring pairs to my website.  You can check them out here...

OPEN HOUSE!!!

For all you local peeps, I wanted to let you know I will be having my annual Open House on Friday, November 11th from 3-7 and Saturday, November 12 from 10-12. Would love for you to come. I will post some pictures of new jewelry soon! Have a great weekend!

I'm still here :)

OH boy, what a crazy month this has been. I wish I had some great new beads to show you, but I don't :( As most of you know I started a kindergarten teaching job. It really has consumed my life and I have no time for anything else. I know it is not always going to be like this, but right now it is really overwhelming. I PROMISE I will have some new beads to show someday, just not right now. I am doing a trunk show in Cedar Rapids at Bead Haven if you are local and would like to come. It is on Saturday, October 22nd.

Here are a few pictures from the first day of school. Lukin and I started Kindergarten :), Cana 2nd grade, Amerah 4th grade and Jayls started the big middle school, 6th grade. Everyone is adjusting well and liking where they are at. I will try to update a little more often than once a month.

Hope I am not loosing you...

Oh my, how time is getting away from me. I am so sorry about not keeping this fun and interesting, but I have just been so busy with school stuff. I am getting ready to teach Kindergarten for my first year and it is a but overwhelming getting everything ready. I got all the introduction/invitation to ice cream social letters out yesterday, so that is one thing marked off the list. I have to start back the 19th, kids not until the 29th.

I will say that I am going to start downsizing my website. I have a few more weeks to make beads, but after school starts, not sure how much time I will have, especially this first year.

Here are a few pics of the photoshoot the kids had with Nala the other day. She is such a good puppy and we just love her. Gonna be hard to leave her when school starts. Enjoy the pics :)
