Hi all, hope you are doing well...things are a bit nutty around here...lets see Grace is in the hospital with her back injury, the good news is she will be home soon & will continue therapy & will be back on her feet in no time...

Hubby & I had our 7th wedding anniversary, we went to Negeen our favorite Persian food restaurant & the funny thing is we got each other the same card...life is good...

Over the weekend, my sister treated mom & I along with her friend & her mom & sister in-law to a two day one night visit to Sonoma, we had a blast, had way too much wine & cheese & stayed at the Sonoma Fairmont Mission Inn & Spa...it was an awesome Girls weekend...one that I hope we repeat again with the same group, they are all so much fun...

I have been making a ton of beads but have been slow about listing and or sending an email out to everyone, finally got a few listed & will be listing more as the days go by...stop by my shop to see them all...36 items listed already...

Last week's focal Ribbon bead goes to Sioux G. for this week I have a rather large yummy focal bead that goes with two of the sets of beads that I am listing tonight called Wild Thing from an older series of mine, I just love these colors together...enter to win this focal bead by making a comment on this post...
