Prayers for my friend:

I do hope you feel better soon my friend and my God send many rays of sunshine your way.

Taking a long coffee break

Hello Blog Friend,

I've been taking a long coffee break while I let my thumb rest - I have not had the surgery yet.  It was better for a while, and I thought I would not need to have the surgery, but I think I am prolonging the inevitable.  I'll keep you posted.  Blessings to you always!

Hmm - what shall we make?

All the colors compliment each other so nicely.

 What a lovely clasp!

And this gorgeous focal pendant.

Bling...that's all I can say...my favorite!

She even included this cute pouch to hold my complete piece of jewelry I create.

Thank you very much Krista.  Your Bead Soup ingredients will be in the mail shortly.
