Facebook link

Just got all the boro sets added to the website. Here is a link to all the pictures ~ hope you can see them. I put them on my facebook fan page. Follow this link.

Here is a picture of our puppy. She is growing so fast. When we got her and took her to the vet she weighed 3.4 lbs. We took her last week and she was up to 5.6. We are taking her to get groomed on Saturday. Kind of sad about it because I LOVE all this fluffy hair. She will look so different. I told the kids that I think I do LOVE her. The reason I knew it was because last week she got a shot. The next day she just laid around the house, didn't play and had no energy. I really bothered me so I called the vet and they said it can happen in a little puppy after a shot. I was worried something might be wrong and thought if something would happen to her I would cry. THAT is how I knew I loved her ;) For someone who did not want a dog, I am enjoying her!

Boro added ~ check!

OK, think I got all the boro sets online. Some have even sold already ~ thank you!!!! I added links to the previous post as well. Here are some new ones. Will try to get the nugget focals added later, although the kids are home today from school, so not sure how far I will get ;) For sure over the weekend though.

revamping the website

Yeah!!! Finally some new beads! I have about 6 sets in boro and 2 sets of the etched with fine silver wire. Yesterday I worked on inventorying my website, seeing what I have still and what has not been photographed and added to my website. I was surprised at how much I have that is not on there. I think I have about 15 boro sets to add and probably 30 nugget focals yet to be added. Yesterday was a bright sunny day, so I got some pictures taken, just need to edit and add them online. Here is a sneak peak...

Still here...

Oh boy, it's been too long!!! Starting to get back in the swing of things. Made some boro sets over the weekend and hope to have pictures and get them on the website soon.

We are enjoying our new little puppy, she is growing so fast! Will get some pictures of her too.

Just a quick little note to let you know I am still here and still making beads. I am working on inventory and updating my website and SOON will have some fresh new sets.

Have a great week!

Here is the other part of our exciting weekend last week...

Last Saturday night we had our family birthday party for Jayla and Amerah. Justin was gone all day, they thought he was helping his brother in Des Moines and would be back right in time for the party. Really he drove 5 hours to get this little puppy by Sioux City and 5 hours home. We had our family here and I lined the kids up and told them daddy really wasn't in Des Moines, that he was building something for them for Christmas and was gonna bring it in. They were so giddy with excitement. Justin had her in his coat and brought her in. I videotaped their reaction and hope to figure out how to download it on utube or something. It was great and so worth all the effort and work. They have had the best weekend and keep thanking us for this little dog. I think we have come to a conclusion on a name ~ NALA. (like the lion on Lion King) ME ~ I am not so excited, but she sure is growing on me. I think it will be ok after we get this potty training thing down. How fun! Enjoy the pictures! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!


Here Justin is walking in the house with the puppy in his coat.
The kids seeing it for the 1st time.
Here they are when I told them to line up. The are whispering and guessing what it could possibly be.






The happy little puppy Nala!

Birthdays Galore

Lots of excitement going on at our house, as I am sure everyone is busy and has fun activities happening. Last Friday night we had a skating party for all 3 girls for their birthdays. All 3 of them have birthday's in December. Jayla turned 11 on the 14th, Amerah turned 9 on the 21st and Cana will turn 7 on the 29th. We usually have 3 separate parties with their friends, but this year I decided to rent the skating rink and do one party with ALL their friends. We invited all their classmates and had a great turnout. Think we had 75 little friends and parents skating. Was a blast and the girls had a great and memorable time. Here are some pictures of their cakes and tables.

We also had another fun surprise and I will post about that in a bit.

I'm still here!

Oh boy, what a last couple weeks. So sorry for the lack of blogging. I am just pressing through all these beads orders. I am down to 4 left!!!! Yippee!!!! Thank you all so much for being patient with me. I had to order some new glass as I ran out. My website is looking pretty sad with now. I don't remember it looking so bare before, which is a great thing for me (probably not you, sorry ;) I am looking forward to getting some time to play and stocking the website up with some great new sets!

Planning the girls bday parties. Those of you who have followed me for awhile know what a busy month Decemeber is at our house. We have all 3 girls' bdays in December. This year I am doing something a little different. We are combining all 3 bday's this year and having a BIG skating party next Friday night. Should be a fun time. We invited lots of friends and family's and all 3 girls classes at school. Have lots to do to get ready for all those kids ;) AND we got the kids a special Christmas gift this year that I can't wait to share with you, but that will have to wait a little.

Well, have a great weekend! Would love to see some pictures of all those designs you make with your new beads!
