THURSDAY

Hi Everyone!!

I can't believe that my time is flying by faster than usual. I have missed all of you and hope that you are having a summer. I am calling this year in Florence our Winter/Summer. LOL

Today I will continue to bead and create and then tomorrow take a day off. Mike and I will drive over to Eugene, OR. to attend Gem Fair. I will be able to take photos of my good friend, Linda's booth. So I will have some things to share with you. Camera's are really not allowed but I have worked it out with her. I have also received another very nice email from a lady who is looking for my Curls n Swirls necklace that was the cover page and article in Bead Unique magazine 5 years ago. It always amazes me how people remember this particular necklace. I asked her how she remember it and here is what she had to say.

Well, I guess it must have made a big impression upon me. I actually purchased a focal bead very similar to the one on the magazine cover with the intention of going back to buy the magazine, however I waited too long and the next month's issue was already out at my local bead store. Anyhow, I came across the focal bead in my bead stash last week while looking for something else. For once I was organized enough to place a sticky note with the name of the pattern and the artist attached to the focal bead.

Now that... is organization. I love this idea of attaching a note to a focal bead.

Well I need more coffee so I can get this day started

Wishing all of you a sunny filled day

Honor and Integrity in Life in Art
