Thank you, Kathy! huge wide grin I feel like I've done well over the last year and a half... look at what a different place I'm in! I have a new husband, a new baby, a new house, a little girl in kindergarten and a four-year-old charmer of a son, and I'm providing half the family support with...

Soooooo sweet of you Susan! I got a pendant in the mail from Susan from VA on Saturday. It's adorable - I had commented on it when she showed us her work last time. It's a handmade sisters pendant. Here's the pic she posted earlier: http://www.beadsbysuzy.com/slide2.jpg Thank you so much,...

Kathy -- it was the same way for her. Previous dogs of the same breed (chihuahua, don't yell at me I still can't spell it) lived until the age of 17 but Colby died at 9. The only blessing is that the new house is much smaller, and they have four dogs and two cats, now three dogs and two furballs....

I have wrestled with my mailing list for a couple of years now. I was having a lot of problems, and I know a lot of people weren't getting my mailings. Not only that, but web bots were using the subscription email on my site for icky stuff. Bleah. It's all remedied now, I hope! I bit the bullet...
