Joanie & a "special friend"

We were all surprised when Joan asked to hold

the creature and then asked for a photo as proof

that she did it! She is one brave woman.

"love" beads

Falling in love with beading again.
I go through stages of what I like
to work on, and the beads are back,
combined with paper crafts.
I like making jewelry, but would rather
do a free form type where anything goes...no rules.

Above is a mini notebook I covered with paper.

I punched holes along the edge
and started stringing beads on wire.

Using the same beads & technique,

I made two hearts and a dragonfly.

I made "bead soup", which is just an assortment

of beads mixed together in a butterfly dish and just wing it.

Today was a pink mix, even though some look like purple.

* Fun * Fun * Fun *

Time to bring out the many boxes of beads,
and start creating again. :)

"Love" is in the air.

Finally...

I have now joined the rest of the world with my new camera!
I always took photos when the kids were growing up with my 35mm
and when the digital came around, I was afraid I wouldn't know how to use it,
so I never got one.
Now that the family gave me one for Mother's Day...I am in the loop!
I am picture happy! It is so easy and way too much fun!
I took pictures of everything!
Posted a few below of cards I made (see Happy Mother's Day below)
There is no stopping me now!

Happy Mother's Day!

Cute dress cards I made
----------------------------------------------



What a great day I had!
Thanks family.
The kids gave me a digital camera,
Gina replaced the finches that
the neighborhood cat set free,
and Rico, (with my help) gave me
a pair of Swarovski crystal flip flops.

Dom & The Prom

Just a few pictures of Dominic
and his friends on Prom night.
They all looked great and had a good time
at the Weston Diplomat in Hollywood.
Maria took some excellent pictures,
(I only posted a few).
I can't believe he is graduating in a few weeks!
The time flew by. We are very proud of him.
