Hi all, hope you are having a great summer like we are...our trip to the Russian River was very fun, some photos below, we had a great 4th of July weekend...The river was very nice, but the Red Woods were amazing we took a couple of long hikes in the park...the tall tree canopy made the park a very cool place to be at...the one tree we are standing in front of is 1400 years old and named after the founder of the park... oh we saw the best movie ever so far this summer Despicable Me...you will love it...

Hi Jelveh,
Looks like you had a fantastic vacation. Isnt it astonishing that the tree you stood by has been standing for so long! Amazing. And so are your beads, especially the the aquatic ones... so pretty! Hope your enjoying the summer and torching (with A/C, lol)!

I like your photo collage.
Dear Jelveh, What a sweet picture of you and hubby! Doesn't nature just make you feel like a small speck on a huge painted canvass? Still keep Stacey in your prayers, baby grandson is fine but Stacey has one thing after another. She's having heart palpitations now. I won't question his plan, I'm just praying it will be alright. I loved that pendant, oh well. I'm also loving those little bird's nests. They are so cute. Take care, Peace
Thanks for the pictures, trees bring encouragement. Love the beads.

I like the beauty of nature. Beauty is all around us, but many fail to see the beauty of nature--the sky, the clouds, trees, flowers, rocks, etc.
Great beads!
HI
That it some Big Tree!!!! wow! I wonder how they tell the age of the tree? Do they count the rings? Then they would have to cut the tree? I don't know , but its huge. I live in Vancouver and we have a huge tree at Shannon Falls, but in comparison it's pretty close.
Love your new beads of course!
Take care and have fun enjoying life.

Jelveh, I'm excited about your use of copper within your lampwork beads. I have recently began to use copper wire in making jewelry and these beads will be a perfect compliment to the wire. I must say your beads are extraordinary!!!
