If anyone is interested the new gallery is open on-line and Angela has taken pictures of some of our work. I am the only Jan there so you might like to have a look. I alternate between "Wow. that is my work there." and "Will anyone want to buy my work?" Also it was hard work writing a brief...

Most of the afternoon today I was barefoot in the rain and ankle deep in mud in my front yard. My small pond (old horse trough) decided to spring a major leak and had to be removed. What fun! Last year I transplanted some tall plants from the edge of the local river to my little pond. A few days...

What color(s) say SPRING to you, in beads, jewelry, and---- anything? (I thought it would be fun, and enlightening, for us to talk about color....especially since in a lot of the USA & Europe, at least, it's awfully grey right now.)

Hi everyone. I've been looking into advertising in some of the bead magazines and wondered if any of you veterans had any feedback. Did your ads do well for you? Would you do it again? Feel free to email me directly if you'd like. lori at beadnerd dot com

Ok when the good news comes in it flows! I now have a chance at a second job. A database adminstrator for a small church. Mainly doing data entry work with some extracting and manipulation of data. I LOVE DATA! Also working for a church so no typical coporate politics. It does pay more...
