He's man enough...

...to carry a pink bag over his shoulder. It full of cars, of course!
Woke up with the stomach flu today--argh! My mother in law is here to help so I can make jewelry, not sleep all day. I am feeling much better tonight.

The winner for the night owl giveaway is Hil who loves to stay up late with her husband, read, talk and check blogs. Thanks for all the fun comments. Someone said, "Night Owls Unite'. I love that!

calling all locals...

Wednesday night I am participating in a Holiday Boutique at Lisa Hoyt's home in San Luis Obispo. She lives up in the hills in Edna valley Ranch in the most AMAZING home (seriously come just to see the home, and to say hi, of course!). There will be all kinds of artists and goodies there to meet all your holiday needs.

6550 Camino Poletti, SLO
6:00pm-9:00pm

BRING A FRIEND.

Hope to see you there.

PS, Our tree is up as the photo proves (it's a fake and there are no ornaments yet, but still!). Getting in the Christmas spirit! I'll announce the winner for the Night Owl giveaway on Monday.

little treasure

I've had a lot of people asking about hand-stamped designs in gold. This is a gold-filled oval on gold-filled 18" chain with a vintage brass locket. Could it be any sweeter?! I have a few of the available for custom orders. $68

catching up...

I've gotten a little behind with my emails. I am catching up and sending out a big batch of paypal links tonight. Please be patient with me! Thanks!!

***All caught up now--so if you haven't heard from me, drop me a line.

getting ready for thanksgiving.

I am so excited to spend time with my family and relax (well, when I'm not working!). And I'm also thankful for my little turkeys, genuine friends, a loving family and so many other blessings I can't begin to count! What are you thankful for?!

Also, any design using the rectangle pendant is backordered for a couple weeks (Bloom, Classic Rectangle, Deluxe Rectangle, Wish, Keychain). Other shapes can be substituted. I think I have enough to cover the orders I have already received. Sorry for the inconveniece!

night owl.

Isn't this fun? Lately I've been getting a second wind at 10pm and start organizing the house, paying bills and getting creative. Leave us a comment and let us know what you like to accomplish after 10pm. I'll choose one winner for a freebie!

If you're not a night owl, it would be also be cute to stamp 'wise bird' for a friend, mommy, or teacher gift. Happy Monday!

working weekend

We made a quick trip to Fresno this weekend to help my father-in-law celebrate his 70th birthday. I brought all my jewelry stuff and worked every spare moment. OK, I slept until 9:30 on Saturday, so that was a treat!

Here is Papa blowing out his candles.

Steve hamming it up with some yummy cake.

David was on the MOVE the whole time. He cruised from room to room barely holding on except to the walls. So exciting!

It was such a delight to see the boys interacting with Nana and Papa. They are such a blessing to us!
Happy 70th Dad!
