Hi Jelveh:
I am certainly glad to know that you and yours are well and happy! I was beginning to wonder. I should have known that you were up to your eyeballs with creative projects! Wow! Even soap making now!
Wishing you and Martin a most glorious holiday season!

Hi Jelveh,
Glad to hear you are "back in action". I too have been on hiatus from anything jewelry for the last 3 wks. as am babysitting my little nine month old granddaughter and her 4 yr. old sister every day. It is great fun, but I am dead tired at the end of the day.
Here's wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Shrek party looked like a fun time! I'm all for cake. Or pie. Oh how I love pie.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Martin. It is a blessing to have virtual friends. As always, I love the beads!

Jelveh, As I reflect back on this hectic year of past I will give thanks for having made such a wonderful friend via my love of beautiful art beads. Of course your work will make anyone love lampwork art. Your excitement and approach to life is a joy to me and always manages to lift me up to the level I need to be at spiritually and I thank you and shall hold my glass up to you as I welcome our new year in. You do need a break once in a while, you have gone non stop for too long. Have a wonderful holiday season with hubby and Sammy of course but as I will, you also lift your glass to a wonderful life and your family and friends.
Peace

It is only a few more days until Christmas and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I miss my beloved husband, who died five years ago, especially during the holidays, but I am thankful for the time we had together.

Jelveh,
My mom absolutely loved the bead key for Christmas - thank you so much for making it!! It looks like you are having a wonderful and fun holiday (and your niece is totally ADORABLE!). Take care, and I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful beads in the new year!
