TWO NEW PROJECTS!

These are two of new projects that I have done these past two weeks! I did two pendants for Alison, my manicurist, and now I have an order for two more! I'm charging $20.00 per pendant - I take the picture to Office Max, have them shrink it down and I also provide the chain!

The first set of pictures are pendants that I have been making for my two sisters and myself. The first picture are my parents and, I believe, this was an engagement picture, the second one is of my dad when he was in the Army, and the last one is of Cory about 38 years ago!

The bracelet on the right is the last class that I took at Colleen's, and, I plan to make many for birthdays and Christmas!

From YUCK to WELCOMING!!!!!!



We had to empty our pool this year, not because it hadn't been done in 3 years, but, because of the high winds every day, since the beginning of March, and all of the pine tree and palm tree droppings which made it sooooooo green! It was so nasty and upside down, and no turning it around, so it had to be emptied and power washed - I would never have another pebble-tech pool but I would never have another pool AGAIN and Jackie thinks she wants a pebble-tech pool! Even if you don't have all of the trees around, it is harder to keep the chemicals balanced! It is sparkling clean but it still looks green and that is because the pebble-tech is green colored.

Jackie - think twice - your pool is beautiful and use your money for other things!

We never use our pool but we do love looking at it when it is clean and love to run the waterfall, which is the large thing on the top! I may do a couple of floats this summer to get some color on my white body! After all, brown fat looks better than white fat!
