Hey Everybody,
So, I've been working really hard, I'm pleased to say. I've been concentrating on getting some things listed, filling orders, shipping out stuff and, in my free time, experimenting with some new techniques and glass colors. Check out some of the new beads at the website, eBay, or on BeadArtists.org and let me know what you think. I'll be posting some new pics tonight.
Oh yeah, did I mention that my kids are home on Spring Break this week? No? Well, they are. So the amount of work I'm doing directly relates to how well they play together without squabbling. We're going to the zoo today and the beach on Thursday. A little reward for being so good the last few days.
So, don't forget to have a great day, be nice to somebody for no obvious reason.

Opening Day
Hey All,
Well, Softball and Baseball Opening Day was this past Saturday and we all had a great time. My daughters team did outstanding in the skills competitions, winning silver and gold medals in all of the different competitions. Anna actually won the team hitting and the individual hitting competitions for the 8U Division. Little Connor's T-Ball team also did great, winning gold and silver medals in all divisions. His skills group won the throwing competition and he couldn't have been more proud to show off his gold medal to anyone who would listen to his story. What a lot of fun but what a full day! Games actually start on Tuesday. Play Ball!!!!!
I'm going to be temporarily discontinuing the free beads contest. I'm just too busy with orders right now. I can't even seem to get anything listed at auction, I'm selling stuff so quickly. This is a temporary halt, so check back at the website for updates. As soon as I get caught up, I will be restarting the contest. Thanks to all of you who have voted consistently. Your support means the world.
Well, that's it for now. Have a great day!

I've got the fever
Hey All,
Well, I'm back in business. Just sold a lot of about 100 beads to a local shop and I managed to get the Free Beads Monday back in gear. Yay! I'm feeling much more productive now.
I'm also getting ready to purchase an oxygen generator. It's a major purchase but it will pay for itself in just a few months and I will avoid the hassle of dealing with a welding supply company, although my guy is awesome about quick delivery!
I've got a touch of the Spring Fever, I must say, so don't be surprised if every bead I list looks summery and light for a while. My ski trip, followed by weather at home in the 70's and low 80's has just put me in the 'Mood'. I am such a total beach girl, even after all these years. I can hardly wait to hit the sand!
Well, have a good one everybody!

Down from the mountain
Hi All,
Well, I made it back from skiing. Despite some heavy snow and blinding wind, we had a great time. Both of the kids learned to ski and thought it was fantastic fun. They are ready to go back again right away. My son had never seen snow, and he was amazed by it. I couldn't hardly keep them inside, even in the worst conditions. They just wanted to sled and through snow around and make snow angels.
Today is Connor's birthday and tommorrow is Anna's. We'll celebrate over the weekend and then it's back to the grindstone. I can't wait.
Have a great day

Up on the mountain
Hi All,
I know I said I'd have some listings this week, but I decided to hold off because we are going on a quick ski trip and I didn't want to be out of town when any auctions were running. I take my laptop, but I don't like to have to keep checking in on it.
This was a last minute trip for the combined birthdays of the kids and I. My birthday is the 17th, Connor's is the 22nd and Anna's is the 23rd. So we just sort of bunched them all together and decided to head for some snow. It's been a very difficult few months for the family, with my Dad's ongoing battle with cancer and the loss of my husband's grandmother at Christmas. And those were just the most dramatic. It seems like every week there is some new crisis. We finally gave up and planned a little trip.
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying whatever comes your way. I'll be in touch next week!
