Actually for that matter, my computer, hmm life itself. I hope that I even remember how to post! I do want to apologize to everyone for not being able to blog, bead, keep up with promises made from months ago. Also to create, design, keep up with all my blog sisters and with my blog itself.<br />
<br />
For the past months since last time yous have heard from me I've been fighting with my health. Please, please, please don't think that I've been ignoring anyone. I've just been trying to regain some of my health back again. I've spent long weeks and months at a time in and out of the hospital. Back at home with IV Meds and in home care. Unfortunately in October I was given some bad news that for right now I'd rather not speak of. I promise though in the future I'll keep everyone posted as much as I can with my updates.<br />
<br />
It took me the longest time before I was even able to get back on my computer. It was way to difficult for me to even sit but I have to say that it feels so nice to be able to sit here this evening at my computer and type a new post. Honestly though I so need new <a href="http://www.csnofficefurniture.com/">Office Furniture</a>! If you would only see the chair that I'm sitting in, or should I say, trying to sit in you would so understand. <br />
<br />
My grandchildren are doing so well. The baby is getting so big and my goodness is she beautiful! My sons are all fine and my furry babies are great! I hope that yous have had wonderful and blessed holidays filled with love, family and friends! I will try my best to post something at least once a week if my health allows for it. Also, once I start to feel a lil bit better I want to make those wonderful ladies the gifts that I had promised. I've missed so much and feel so bad. I almost feel like I deserted yous, but the reality of everything is that everyone of yous I've held very close to me in my heart all these months and I've thought of everyone and your families very often! I miss yous and hope to be able to stop in at your blogs again very soon. I've said this before and I really mean this from the very bottom of my heart and being. My heart is filled with so much friendship and love, everyone makes me feel so good and you all, each and everyone of yous have all touched my heart in so many different and wonderful ways. I want to thank everyone for your tenderness, love, caring, prayers, friendship healing thoughts and positive energies. For all your cards, calls, gifts and genuine sisterly love! Yous all mean the world to me, thank you! It's wonderful to be a part of this great family!<br />
Thank you all so much for stopping in this evening! Until the next<br />
time, bead happy...<br />
Hugs and happy beading...<br />

These next 2 ATC's are titled: Angel's among us. I made these from my Lesson 1 at Collage Coterie, Blended Paper Background. It's a phenomenal class that Mary teaches from Green<a href="http://greenpaper.typepad.com/">Paper</a>. The class is a work at your own pace and very easy to understand, great pictures, valuable information, excellent teaching and I highly recommend it!

One of the Yahoo Groups that I belong to is Luner Dreams and we're having a "Getting to Know You ATC Swap". I can't show you mine yet because I haven't placed them in the mail and I don't want to ruin the surprise for everyone else, but as soon as I do I will post their pictures so yous can take a peek to. There's a total of 5 of us in that particular swap and I got one of mine in the mail yesterday from Jan. She also made me the most gorgeous card! I was so happy and so impressed by both! Thanks Jan! So here's what she sent me:<br />

I've been in and out of the hospital again with surgeries and back and forth to doctor appointments and still on IV medications here at home. I've had a few crazy bacteria infections now that have been very serious and have had to find another kidney specialist. All and all it's been a rough couple of months for me but I want everyone to know that I always think of you's and everyone has been in my prayers. Okie dokie now...enough about me and on to bigger and much better and happier of things...<br />

To all of you's that know me you's know that I'm a big time animal lover. Well, a kitty belonging to one of my friends had gotten outside and sure enough had kittens. She tried and tried to find them homes and then even had tried a no kill animal shelter but in our area they were all full. Well, needless to say I have a new kid on my block sorta speak...Bella. She makes my 4th kitty and my 7th furry one in my home now. I also have my 3 furry pups to. She really wasn't something I planned on nor thought I would even want but she's a lil cutie and oh so bad. lol But I know in time she'll be fine. All of the furry ones get along great! So I'd like to introduce to you...Bella:<br />

I won a gorgeous piece that a very sweet and wonderful lady named Kelly at : <br />
Mystical <a href="http://mysticalentities.blogspot.com/2010/06/random-acts-of-kindness.html">Entities,</a> Kelly had a Giveaway - Random Acts of Kindness at her blog. She was also kind enough to send away for a gorgeous picture from a Art Studio in California from E-bay for a picture of a Boxer that looks just like my Rocky. Kelly has furry ones of her own and is so talented! She's also a very sweet person whom I'm happy to say that I've become friends with. If you's would be so kind to stop over at Kelly's blog I know that she'd love to have you and welcome you with open arms! Kelly, my goodness Sweetie, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart...I loveee everything! Your work is just fabulous! I wish that my pictures would be so much better because they sure don't show how gorgeous your piece is. I have to say it's my favorite color also...thank you, thank you, thank you! I absolutely love it! Plus the picture of the Boxer is the greatest! <br />

Now this is what the Giveaway was about:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OB8AzKU5K9U/TGLbzR85G-I/AAAAAAAABhs/CTtFE31ScLc/s1600/payitforward.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OB8AzKU5K9U/TGLbzR85G-I/AAAAAAAABhs/CTtFE31ScLc/s1600/payitforward.jpg" /></a></div><br />
"The idea is that random acts of kindness are given without expecting anything in return. Just passing on the kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same and forming a never-ending chain of kindness.<br />
<br />
That's what this is about. But it isn't only kindness it is also a means to connect with our fellow crafters. To network if you will and to spread our work (instead of having it sit in our house where only friends and family get to see it).<br />
<br />
And this is how it works:<br />
<br />
You'll have to comment on this post and the first 3 people who comment will receive a handmade gift from me within the next few months. But those 3 commenters will also have to post the idea on their blog and commit to making a gift for the first 3 people who comment on their post and so on and so forth."If you don't have a blog - simply send along something to 3 people you know that would benefit from a random act of kindness and ask them to return the favor to 3 other people etc.<br />
<br />
This is going to be a fun and rewarding experience!<br />
So please pass on the word and spread some kindness! <br />
<br />
To the first 3 people that make a comment here on my blog today I to will make you something handmade and send it to you in the next 2 months if you will be willing to commit to do the same. <br />
<br />
Again a very special thank you to Kelly for your wonderful Random Acts of Kindness!<br />
<br />
I also had won another Giveaway from Julie at her Etsy Shop: <br />
Bella Rose <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/bellerosedesigns">Designs</a> <br />
If you would to please stop in to see her at her blog: <br />
Singing Three Little <a href="http://singingthreelittlebirds.blogspot.com/">Birds</a> I know that she'd be so happy to meet you! Thank you so much again for the gorgeous Fabric and Washer Necklace!<br />

First, I finished my beaded Art Doll that I had purchased from a incredible Bead Artist, Christine or better known as Littlebead. You can look at her gorgeous art at her Etsy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlebead">Shop </a> I'm very happy with the way she came out I really just wish I could figure out how to get some good pictures of her. lol But here she is:<br />

I belong to a couple of Yahoo Art Doll Group's. One is Goddess Dolls and the other is Decidedly Different Dolls. At Decidedly Different Dolls we had a Swap for July. It was to make a Moon Doll. I sent my Art Dolls to a great lady named, Stacie, better known as Whytefeather on her blog, Squirrelly Duck. If you would please visit Stacie at her blog she's a fantastic Bead Artist and a wonderful person whom I'm happy to be friends with! I know she'd be very happy you stopped in to see her! <br />
Squirrelly <a href="http://squirrellyduck.blogspot.com/">Duck</a><br />
The cabs that I used to make the Moon Dolls were made by my Sis, Beth at her blog, Bellesanbeaus Crafts. Please stop by Beth's awesome blog and see her work. She'd love to have you and I know that you'll be so happy you did! Thanks Sis for the awesome cabs... I loveee them! <br />
Bellesanbeaus <a href="http://bellesanbeauscrafts.blogspot.com/">Crafts</a> The gal that is sending my Art Doll has been a bit swamped and it'll be arriving to me soon, when it does I'll post it for all to see. But here's what I sent to Stacie...Moon Beam and her lil sister, Moon:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Okie dokie, moving right along I have to say thanks again to my Sis, Beth for telling me about these wonderful ATC'S and a great blog that swaps them! I just made my first of ATC's and received my first ATC to!<br />
Here's some things you should know what Artist Trading Cards are: The ATC must be 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches (regulation ATC size)<br />
You can use any media to create your ATC .<br />
Please make sure your ATC is sturdy enough to withstand posting, if trading through the mail.<br />
ATC holders or clear plastic covers can be used.<br />
A ATC is never to be purchased only traded.<br />
On the back of your ATC you need to have your name, blog or e-mail, Title, date, number of ATC and also any other info that you can fit on the back of the card.<br />
If you want to find out more about ATC'S or better know as Artist Trading Cards please <br />
go <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_trading_cards">here</a>. <br />
Now I know I'm hooked and want to make many more ATC'S and collect just as many as I can. So if you want to trade any ATC'S pleaseee let me know and we can do a trade!<br />
But the ATC Blog that you's should take a peek at is <br />
Blissfull ATC <a href="http://blissfullatcswap.blogspot.com/">Swap</a>.<br />
I know that you'll be so happy that you did!<br />
This month the swap was "Orange" and I traded with a wonderful gal named Wendy at, <a href="http://blissangels.blogspot.com/">Blissangels</a>.<br />
Here's my very first ATC in my collection that Wendy sent me, also she made the sweetest Butterfly Card for me to.<br />

I had a option to only make for 1 or to make for everyone that wanted to swap and that was my choice although I'll only be getting 1 ATC in return for myself. but here they are: <br />

Boy it's been a very big day again for me. I have 3 of my grand-children, Haley, Kaley and Aden. I have Aden until tomorrow when his mommy and daddy and new lil sister, Sofia come home from the hospital. Then I get to see her again! Whahooo! Babies are just so precious, I love them! Then more pictures! I sure loveeeeee pictures! lol The kids and myself just watched Alice in Wonderland...what a great movie! It's actually my second time watching it. Gosh I'm not up on the times though, it had 3 movies in it, one was a DVD, then a Digital then a Blue ray! I had to ask the kids. lol Here's a couple more pictures of my newest addition to my family...and my 7th grandchild, Sofia Breeze! Then the next picture is 3 of my 4 sons, Michael, Sofia's daddy, my second oldest son. Then Matt, my oldest son and Joel my youngest son. My Daniel lives out of State and we sure do miss him! He actually just graduated from college while I was in the hospital along with his sweet girlfriend, Sabrina, both with honors! Anyways, on with some pictures...<br />

</tbody></table> I promised I would post today so here I am. I wanted to post some pictures of the birthday party the other day but I'm having such a hard time! I do not like how you have to do the pictures now at all! I sure wish that blogger wouldn't have done what ever it was that they did! I had really never had any troubles with the old Blogger up until last week when I went to post for the first time after I had been so sick...HA! The Gremblins were attacking that day in Blogland! If it wasn't for my dear friend, Marie Segal from Art From My <a href="http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/">Heart </a>that post would never have been! If anyone has any advise at all for me I'd sure appreciate it! It may be me...you know I've been pretty sick for a while now, the nut behind the wheel, the controller of my keyboard, and the lady that has no clue about the new Blogger. lol <br />

I'm happy and very proud to say that baby, daughter-n-law, son and entire family are doing fine! Maw-maw (that's me) am so tired you could breath heavy and it'd knock me over. lol <br />
Yesterday we had a 7th year birthday party for my twin grand-daughters, Haley and Kaley. Then no sooner I was home and resting my son text me that Sofia was on her way so to the hospital my youngest son, Joel and myself went only meeting more family there. We waited, we paced, we laughed, we cried, some slept, we ate and grew impatient and then...there she was. I have to say that I'm so tickled and very proud! Introducing <br />

I had another surgery, I had kidney failure and had to have a nephrostomy bag<br />
placed in my left kidney. I already had a piece in my left from a prior kidney<br />
failure. I regret to say that both of my kidneys are bad now but I'm hanging in<br />
there and to be honest feel pretty good right now. I've been on IV meds again<br />
here at home since I've been out of the hospital but now I can be off of them for<br />
about 2 weeks. So right now I'm feeling good.I want to thank everyone for all your prayers, love, friendship, happy thoughts,<br />
strength positive energies, cards, calls, gifts! I can't tell yous how deeply touched<br />
it has been for me in my life to have found the loving, sweet and fantastic new<br />

artist, Christine or better known as Littlebead there. Christine has a Etsy Shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlebead" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlebead</a> where I purchased pre-made doll forms and Christine also makes the dolls stands from copper<br />

I did make a small spirit doll for my Goddess Doll Group and also my Decidedly Different Dolls Yahoo group that I've joined. Here she is...Moon Beam.<br />

I have to say that I'm not really pleased with this one, but it was my first go at a doll and this is what I had come up with. However, the gorgeous Cab that I used for Moon Beam's face is one that my very close, dear and good friend, my"Sis," Beth from Bellesanbeaus Crafts <a href="http://bellesanbeauscrafts.blogspot.com/">http://bellesanbeauscrafts.blogspot.com/</a> made for me. Please make sure you stop in at her blog, Beth is a wonderful person, great friend, mother, mammaw and is one very talented lady! It doesn't matter what Beth makes she's talented in so many different things. Over the years she's made so many gorgeous and one of a kind pieces.<br />

This past week has been a good and a bad one for me. First off on a great note, it's been the first of a very long time that I haven't had to use my cane for almost a full week now! It makes me so happy! I had been in a wheel chair for a time then have been in and out of walkers then my cane so not to have to use it right now is a total blessing for me! Now for the not so good...this week I had to replace my refrigerator. My old one that to be honest really wasn't that old but it seen it's last day this past week. I lost all the freezer foods. Wowww can't tell you what a awful feeling that was! Then, now this is funny but at the time it happened I really didn't think it was. Anyways, I have very a small kitchen. I had a apartment size refrigerator in it that had broke. Well...guess what??? My new refrigerator doesn't fit in my kitchen without having to cut down partially some very needed cupboards! So, it's now in the garage. Although this did opened up a very needed space in the kitchen! This really made me want to utilize the new space, which I did at that! I do have to thank Beth for this excellent idea though! To buy a small counter top, get a stool and presto...space and built in work top. Well here's good news again...my dad came over and gave me a awesome counter<br />
top, I got a stool, one of my sons put the counter top up for me, still used one of the other cupboard's with it thanks to my daughter-n-law, Cat and her great idea. Then because of what the old floor looked like where the other refrigerator had been I had to buy new floor. One man came over and laid it for me for free that was from my Church. I have to say that he, Matt laid this floor and did such a great job on it for me...thanks so much Matt! so now I just have to paint in the kitchen and it'll have a complete make over to which it really did need! Now that I'm thinking about this it actually was a lucky thing for me that my other refrigerator broke down, look at all the nice things that came from it!</div><br />

<div>Well for pete sakes...after a entire month of no posts and here I am trying to post this and good ole blogger is down, hmm what to think about this! I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem I am this evening??? This is what it's telling me: "Blogger is currently unavailable right now. We apologize for this interruption in service." hmm I sure hope that blogger can fix this problem ASP! I think those Gremblins are trying to take Blogger over again! lol Marie...helppp, please be sure to stop in at Marie Segal's from Art From My Heart <a href="http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/">http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/</a> and her new Etsy Shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/mariesegal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.etsy.com/shop/mariesegal</a> she has some incredible things there!<br />
<div>Well, I've tried waiting in hopes that Blogger would have fixed what ever problem it was that they're having again but it's a no go this evening! It's now midnight and I'm going to try to lay down and rest, I haven't been sleeping so well for about 3 days now so I'm tired. I'll try to post first thing in the morning! You whoooo Blogger Gremblin's go AWAY! Blogger, come out, come out wherever you are! lol </div><br />
Stayed tuned...<br />

I still haven't felt like myself yet so I haven't been posting again all this week. I hope that yous are doing good! I made some mosaics for everyone to see today and I have a wonderful and very touching story behind some of them.<br />As yous all know I have bad kidneys and I'm in and out of the hospital more then I'm home with surgeries, infections, kidney failure, stones and the list goes on and on. Well, back in October I had become very ill (even though I've been sick all of my life) and am still fighting to get well and my dear friend, Beth from Bellesanbeaus <a href="http://bellesanbeauscrafts.blogspot.com/">Crafts</a> had made arrangements with some friends and my Church to have a card go around the world and be signed from friends as far away as England, Canada, Netherlands and then all throughout the US! Then Beth had spoke to a good friend of mine from my Church, Jean Bly and she got together with my friends there and a wonderful woman made me a gorgeous card and they all signed it for me to. I've had such a wonderful response from everyone, people I know and don't know, people I've only spoke to on the computer and friends and family alike. I have to say that I'm so touched by everyone for all your prayers, love, gifts, cards...I'm speechless except to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I love all of yous...thank you! A very special thank you to you, Beth for thinking of me and doing all of this for me...I love you Sis!<br />So, here's the card that went all around the world:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRQ3kgtd0D6lsHsTCz4buqL_YzJ0ZbcXg7y2XwDiwsCNZeEAow7XoJP8b0KNLi9ojvoaieWNT2V_NqBC5l17dOhfrquwK0p4_nXxPyaWzlls6VGfkuXVIhZq3d2_ENJlT_Zlha4X6r_3WN/s1600/598.jpg"><img style="display: block;

If you'd like to read about this months challenge please go <a href="http://artbeadscene.blogspot.com/2010/04/april-monthly-challenge.html">here</a>. It's about a lovely painting by Paul Klee, Insula Dulcamara. Also, if you would like to see this months entries please go <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/artbeadscene/">here</a>.<br />For this piece my good friend, Marie Segal from Art From My <a href="http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/">Heart</a> made this beautiful cabochon. I found through Maire Segal's Artbead/Cab that the colors were rich and inviting as found in Klee's painting. Then, even though the colors I chose in this piece are a bolder expression then found in Klee's work, I still felt the connection between them.

I still have one more to finish that I want to submit also, which I will be working on this week, but I thought that I'd give you a sneak preview now.<br />First, you must know about the monthly challenge:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OB8AzKU5K9U/S8nf0zUOslI/AAAAAAAABW4/p-FlVbKwtMo/s1600/klee_insula-dulcamara.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 194px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OB8AzKU5K9U/S8nf0zUOslI/AAAAAAAABW4/p-FlVbKwtMo/s400/klee_insula-dulcamara.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461142121384686162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is, Insula Dulcamara by Paul Klee, 1938<br />31 1/2 x 69 in, Oil on newsprint, mounted on burlap. Klee Foundation, Bern, Switzerland.<br />This painting is the largest of Klee’s finished paintings. If you would like to read more about this wonderful painting, please go <a href="http://artbeadscene.blogspot.com/2010/04/april-monthly-challenge.html">here</a> to the April Monthly Challenge. They have a fantastic article wrote all about this painting of Paul Klee.<br />Now, here's the monthly theme: Your entry this month can be influenced by the colors, pattern or whatever you choose to focus on for your creation. Just remember to include at least one art bead in your design.<br />Also, if you'd like to view all the entries so far please go here to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/artbeadscene/">Flickr</a>.<br /><center>So, here's <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">Moon Dance</span></span> again for yous to see:</center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl8v55IG7eoWqXCXGoZu0jM99SnDELS748tXOG5sha0Dvbyxv836DBY7gXlT0HNxTIjkZw_XG-yCN1IMmkJMSG8nunemhPqGrePmTD3sy0kuebliH3OXC52NuS7NowRxpV0Aw2UsgpEoOE/s1600/mosaice43e65a7c3774e9761363ed709e4561f25a15800.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl8v55IG7eoWqXCXGoZu0jM99SnDELS748tXOG5sha0Dvbyxv836DBY7gXlT0HNxTIjkZw_XG-yCN1IMmkJMSG8nunemhPqGrePmTD3sy0kuebliH3OXC52NuS7NowRxpV0Aw2UsgpEoOE/s400/mosaice43e65a7c3774e9761363ed709e4561f25a15800.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461557758215214690" border="0" /></a><br />I'm going to submit him because I feel in comparison to all the muted colors, the black made a bold statement and through Moon Dance I feel the contrast generated in the same boldness as in Klee's painting. The Artbead/Cab in Moon Dance was made by Marie Segal at Art From My <a href="http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/">Heart</a> and the mold was made by Maureen <a href="http://www.maureencarlson.com/">Carlson</a>.<br />My next piece is <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">"The Colors of Klee"</span></span></span>.<br />This Artbead/Cab was made by Kristie-Lou Brigham at, Sculpted Windows Wire Wrapped Jewelry <a href="http://sculptedwindowsjewelry.blogspot.com/">Journal</a>. I felt that the wonderful colors that Kristie used to make this with the exclusion of the black are incorporated into this artbead/cab and matches so perfectly with Paul Klee's painting, also the moon to me signifies the half moons found in each corner at the top of Klee's painting. So I knew that I had to make a piece from this and submit it also. <center>Introducing, <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">"The Colors of Klee"</span> </span></span></center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoRZPpRxgcvdzMMIuSKpoQz4cDbPM_QfebaQTfFBNwbab5pQtOiGwsas_mg9VMnfNuF2ZPiLPGjYAxRz0HYbkbIohJeW1TThStEWxxyR0VxFXDkywloJGgsnvJQy_2-W5DBj6YBMvfaL3U/s1600/mosaic+Colors+of+Klee.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoRZPpRxgcvdzMMIuSKpoQz4cDbPM_QfebaQTfFBNwbab5pQtOiGwsas_mg9VMnfNuF2ZPiLPGjYAxRz0HYbkbIohJeW1TThStEWxxyR0VxFXDkywloJGgsnvJQy_2-W5DBj6YBMvfaL3U/s400/mosaic+Colors+of+Klee.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461558325695830050" border="0" /></a><br />Next I want to tell yous about my piece, <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">"Inspired" </span></span>With this wonderful Steampunk Artbead/Cab that Beth at Bellesanbeaus <a href="http://bellesanbeauscrafts.blogspot.com/">Crafts</a> made for me I was so inspired by the blues and greens in Klee's painting and also the primitive face, that through this gorgeous Artbead the Beth had made I feel involked the very same feeling that I felt when I had seen Klee's painting.

Boy oh boy did I get into a heap full of trouble over that to, but after a short time we realized that we liked it this color, and it's been this color ever since...well except a couple of small mishaps. (read #3)<br />3. I lived in Florida and in West Virginia some years ago for some years. While I was there because of the good ole well water I had, it turned my blonde hair a very bright shade of orange! Let me tell you, it was very hard to get that out of my hair! It would have been a nice shade of orange if it wouldn't have been so bright. lol<br />4. I've always wanted to move to New Zealand.<br />5. I'm terrified of heights of any nature, spiders, mice and snakes if I don't know that they are there. Back when my sons were younger I once was on a Ski Lift with my second oldest son, Michael, well let me tell you I never thought I was getting off of that alive! He's quite the dare devil! Then a few years after that I was on a Ferris Wheel, again with one of my lil darlings, no names mentioned here...(Mike lol) and needless to say I've never, ever, never again have been on a Ferris Wheel nor do I have the urge to be on one again!<br />6. I collect dolls, hummingbirds, Angels, Religious pieces, clocks, Roosters, Wall hangings, quilts, beaded pieces and ornaments. I do have a pig collection and a tea cup collection also but they're put away now due to my small home. I also have enough refrigerator magnets to fill 2 refrigerators but I have them all on my lil apartment size refrigerator. I love magnets! I have them from all over to! friends send them to me, gosh I have some from England, Korea, Bristol (I'm a Nascar addict!) the list goes on from there.<br />7. I've had at least 500 or more surgeries for my kidneys in my life time. I had lost count years ago.<br /><br />Now onto my<strong><span style="font-size:large;"> <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >7 nominations</span></span></strong><br /><br />1.

Help...I started a new project. It seems ever since I had started beading I've always had a interest in Bead Embroidery. That's all I can even think about any more besides Cabochons...I even dream about it! Now I know that some of you may think that's totally crazy but it's the truth! Which leads me to say that I could no longer wait and learn I had to start and learn as I went! I've learned that you do not use pen when writing on your fabric...this makes for a bad day. Please keep in mind though that I have no clue what I'm doing, just attempting some new stitches and my hand at Bead Embroidery. But gosh, I'm having a blast doing it and learning from it and even using some of my "Bead Stash" (that's for "Operation Tackle that Bead <a href="http://tacklethatbeadstash.blogspot.com/%22">Stash</a>".) I've also used some of the beautiful beads that Marie Segal from: Art from my <a href="http://tacklethatbeadstash.blogspot.com/">Heart</a> had sent to me, plus...2 of the gorgeous white cabs that Marie sent. Then I even used some gorgeous beads that my dear friend, Kate from England had sent to me. (Kate's coming here to Ohio in May to visit and it'll be the very first time I'll be blessed to meet!)<br />Then...I also bought a few new things to, but shhhh please don't tell Sarah from: Bead The <a href="http://beadthechange.blogspot.com/">Change</a>.<br /><br />The beautiful Polymer Clay Blue and Pearl Winter Snowflake Lady Face Cab was made by, Kristie-Lou Brigham from: Sculpted Windows Wire Wrapped Jewelry <a href="http://sculptedwindowsjewelry.blogspot.com/">Journal</a> her blog or you may purchase some of her gorgeous work at Kristie's E-bay store Sculpted Windows <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Sculpted-Windows-Jewelry?refid=store">Jewelry</a>. Kristie has a wide variety of very lovely handmade pieces from Wire Wrapped Pendants to Polymer Clay beads and faces.<br />I also follow the Bead Journal Project <a href="http://bjp3.blogspot.com/">3</a> (BJP) with, Robin Atkin's being the founder. Here's Robin Atkin's wonderful blog: <a href="http://beadlust.blogspot.com/">Beadlust</a>. You may also find Robin at her <a href="http://www.robinatkins.com/index.html">website</a>. If you have a chance please stop in on the many Bead Embroidery Artists and see all their amazing, gorgeous and incredible pieces!<br /><br />Well, I'm not quite finished with this piece yet but...I'm almost there. I have to tell you's though that I'm somewhat intimidated to cut this piece in a circle the way I had planned. But my good friend, Lisa Criswell at Indigo's <a href="http://indigosbeads.blogspot.com/">Beads</a> has given me some wonderful pointers. Thanks so much Lisa! Oh...I have to say Congrats to you Lisa for your 1st sale and Congrats to you for finding out that you're going to be teaching your very first improvisational bead embroidery class...way to go girl, I'm so happy for you! if you haven't been to Lisa's blog yet, please stop in to see all her fantastic Bead Embroidery pieces!<br /><br />Even though I'm not quite finished with this piece yet, I'm not sure what to name it, maybe you's can help me by leaving me some suggestions in my comments. I sure would appreciate any ideas on a name for my very 1st Bead Embroidery piece. Snow Angel, Ice Angel, Snow Princess, Ice Princess??? hmm or will I use your name that you pick out for me???<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbcdLb_RdrRayeffzTqh4JYq4E5vk6b8iwDDh5_HRQC4grg9EJSvfRf60AinAty2K6hXN_CczivMWgqPf58kKfJLF_fwQ9Vui_kgNm5rAyi_pgwO_FO4NpsHhR8BVfFl1ybKSGnlFFWl2D/s1600/downsized_0326001153a.jpg"><img style="display: block;

I wanted to make a mosaic picture of Easter things I have here in my home and my Easter Day today. So I hurried after I had gotten home from a wonderful but ever so tiresome day and made these mosaic pictures for you. Not only do I enjoy making these but love to look at everyone's also! I wouldn't be able to do either without Mary, at Little Red <a href="http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/">House</a>. Thank you Mary for making this all possible! Also, if you would be so kind to visit Mary she'd love to have you, and while you're there to look at all the other mosaic pictures our friends here in Blogland have made, there's some gorgeous ones to for you to see!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFJCP56pf-g2J2s0Toka53qE6ejOFAkuhFX6mZ31ur8H-ZDB8CnQbZwUQK_r7CYhowZQBIGaZC4PLZbMzdkAEyF9SWWvks260R_9f48Rm2zQagsfCBPQevv-myKz0LJ5BYxePNvgbvaUps/s1600/mosaicb90a804b8ca1ee5450603259920b512ea1791cf4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFJCP56pf-g2J2s0Toka53qE6ejOFAkuhFX6mZ31ur8H-ZDB8CnQbZwUQK_r7CYhowZQBIGaZC4PLZbMzdkAEyF9SWWvks260R_9f48Rm2zQagsfCBPQevv-myKz0LJ5BYxePNvgbvaUps/s400/mosaicb90a804b8ca1ee5450603259920b512ea1791cf4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456114350370802082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg1Lv_u8YpxuJEHoVueb8hdAq_NgXR8zq-TiMrjNb5uBDWbVc6Qfe6xgHzPkOhF5_sDILFnQPdi6gwyQOixJi3ule9erRN4htI5qarZCErB6ykOWXwF9hHeDjA1FtMEEAOCnNKZc2hvroj/s1600/mosaic8e06dbade19d6cd040202caef36bf5323193875f.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg1Lv_u8YpxuJEHoVueb8hdAq_NgXR8zq-TiMrjNb5uBDWbVc6Qfe6xgHzPkOhF5_sDILFnQPdi6gwyQOixJi3ule9erRN4htI5qarZCErB6ykOWXwF9hHeDjA1FtMEEAOCnNKZc2hvroj/s400/mosaic8e06dbade19d6cd040202caef36bf5323193875f.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456493159864658066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGf171Q0NNj-MNpYpYAKNxWJY71IHCLCDxRrwymLqNR_JebXDLOjiqMSFBxx6xh28a8uGLEVAOhno1AgfOWXqou4AhiHoWpN0wb2nPKM-zVkWuNR5Sf3PmmaKizKd2OTSeSpzBsDAjkhaz/s1600/mosaic4eab994e4ae3985ab53c8e669a90b9108887c043.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGf171Q0NNj-MNpYpYAKNxWJY71IHCLCDxRrwymLqNR_JebXDLOjiqMSFBxx6xh28a8uGLEVAOhno1AgfOWXqou4AhiHoWpN0wb2nPKM-zVkWuNR5Sf3PmmaKizKd2OTSeSpzBsDAjkhaz/s400/mosaic4eab994e4ae3985ab53c8e669a90b9108887c043.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456493174874369634" border="0" /></a><br />This is my daughter-n-law, Donna in the nursery for baby Sofia.

This Easter Sunday I want to share some quotes with you and a few other things to.<br /><br />Easter is the demonstration of God that life is essentially spiritual and timeless. Written by, Charles M. Crowe<br /><br />The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances. Written by, Robert Flatt<br /><br />And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here. Written by, St Augustine<br /><br />Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring-time. Written by, Martin Luther<br /><br />For I remember it is Easter morn and life and love and peace are all new born. Written by, Alice Freeman Palmer.<br /><br />According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion. The day of resurrection is observed on Easter Day or Easter Sunday that comes two days after Good Friday.<br /><br />Easter also marks the end of Lent, a 40-day period, a season of fasting, prayer and penance. Easter is a moveable feast. The date of Easter therefore varies between March 22 and April 25 and is linked to the Jewish Passover. If you would like to read "Why Does the Date for Easter Change Every Year?" please go <a href="http://christianity.about.com/od/faqhelpdesk/qt/whyeasterchange.htm">here</a>.<br /><br />Easter Bunny and Easter Egg hunts have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations and are also celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike now. Many Christians also observe the religious aspects of Easter by attending Sunday Service in the morning and a wonderful Easter Dinner after wards.<br /><br />Here are some of the Beaded Easter Crystal's that I made:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyAWbJbkofEMknun-tV0KC5Wb9hUPlGKaksJSLc8XmblM4xvkwhJRdRN4E0AGB_zrmzow8F5W3mAn2utbRUobCG95gEt5TRKxdbUathl-O5tdFqXAHQ03TnkLrhOOKNIC4mbhyGAGncpu/s1600/10215.jpeg"><img style="display:block;

This is my third Mosaic picture that I've made now and I'm still loving it! I have to thank, Mary, at Little Red <a href="http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2010/03/mosaic-monday-colors-of-easter.html">House</a>! Also, if you would be so kind to visit Mary she'd love to have you, and while you're there to look at all the other mosaic pictures our friends here in Blogland have made, there's some gorgeous ones to for you to see!<br />I thought it would be nice if I made a Mosaic of us putting up our Cross at my Church on the 15th of April 2006, I remember it as if it were yesterday! It was a amazing day, a awesome feeling and something that I'll never forget in my lifetime!<br />If you want to read the other post that I had back on Monday, July 27, 2009 and see more pictures, here's the link:<br /><center style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-weight: bold;"><font size="4">Putting up our <a href="http://bobbianncook.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html">Cross</a></font></center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiooAxK0uwh7-slMCJL46Bh67U11WBXhYFev1GvC9Myw8APsJpaiOzGxVJfUCSaakJSjhQhvAloUOim-nuieKVDdnUZGuokE932MlpqiD099_-xUx7ctT50q67DC80J7l-4HkOkuSjBYGfG/s1600/mosaic1befe17ec3b6053d44bf23cf27ae10eed15d088b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiooAxK0uwh7-slMCJL46Bh67U11WBXhYFev1GvC9Myw8APsJpaiOzGxVJfUCSaakJSjhQhvAloUOim-nuieKVDdnUZGuokE932MlpqiD099_-xUx7ctT50q67DC80J7l-4HkOkuSjBYGfG/s400/mosaic1befe17ec3b6053d44bf23cf27ae10eed15d088b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453767234317709938" border="0"></a><br><br />Today is Palm Sunday. It's a Christian moveable feast which always falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It is the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion. It is also called Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion.<br />In many Christian Churches, Palm Sunday is marked by the distribution of palm leaves (often tied into crosses after receiving them) to the assembled worshipers that Sunday. The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and of victory, in Jewish tradition, and is treated in other parts of the Bible as such (e.g. Leviticus 23:40 and Revelation 7:9). Because of this, the crowd greeted Jesus by waving palms and carpeting His path with palms has given the Christian festival its name.<br />Here's a picture of a couple of my palms that I had gotten a few years ago and tied into Crosses.<br><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ErSwBxF0srP62vwy8yjugKYr9HQR201DOLcZknMOVAhNBpyNuWaR_dfJvBacF1DRQTe8p7eJehIT1kgTrDcFMXnYlov68AaekJzaCT2xQNbpYhWf0mupj65MzDuW5IhGp5sBF0O1HwXw/s1600/0328001554.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ErSwBxF0srP62vwy8yjugKYr9HQR201DOLcZknMOVAhNBpyNuWaR_dfJvBacF1DRQTe8p7eJehIT1kgTrDcFMXnYlov68AaekJzaCT2xQNbpYhWf0mupj65MzDuW5IhGp5sBF0O1HwXw/s400/0328001554.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453805481573501282" /></a><br />Thanks so much for stopping in today, I hope that you have a very Happy Easter and a wonderful new Spring! <br />Hugs...<br />BobbiBobbi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00992394817982786991noreply@blogger.com45tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290843130773646767.post-43586448327400292642010-03-23T16:08:00.000-07:002010-03-23T21:11:30.080-07:00Pretty in Pink...I'm happy to say that I'm up to my 6th cabochon now! Plus, I'm using up some of my Bead Stash, still learning more stitches and having a blast designing all at the same time! The colors in this cabochon make you feel like Spring! My favorite color is actually purple, however pink is next in line. So...I'd like to introduce to you:<br> <br /><center>"<span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pretty in Pink</span></span>"</center><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX9gXi773XlSH29U5fgws_6MkDzGB0Z59dwa3S5xcQjeg0tJu3ugYMmqLOUHKXkGqHLV0HE6UMzYRyLjkiEz18kBp9Mdm6gQiwQHfuc0Y5KN9SOebuATbO7hSQeZ15omOrFAGaHhK5Piek/s1600-h/Pretty+in+Pink,+cab+%236+%284%29.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX9gXi773XlSH29U5fgws_6MkDzGB0Z59dwa3S5xcQjeg0tJu3ugYMmqLOUHKXkGqHLV0HE6UMzYRyLjkiEz18kBp9Mdm6gQiwQHfuc0Y5KN9SOebuATbO7hSQeZ15omOrFAGaHhK5Piek/s400/Pretty+in+Pink,+cab+%236+%284%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452041780132370834" border="0" /></a><br><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNxHytyXDwJYT0nXQ3uad0jFdLDCW7bl8Q6co3aMadOtYwqOSA547C1wO0v6xqBm0AcvEIAtqnz_lpzu9CAFcQCnP1LzBGqlJiJZhb9VXuFiH4Q8_193M_VL0KtGbDlwXJWxafaMoZ8pNG/s1600-h/Pretty+in+Pink,+cab+%236+%282%29.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNxHytyXDwJYT0nXQ3uad0jFdLDCW7bl8Q6co3aMadOtYwqOSA547C1wO0v6xqBm0AcvEIAtqnz_lpzu9CAFcQCnP1LzBGqlJiJZhb9VXuFiH4Q8_193M_VL0KtGbDlwXJWxafaMoZ8pNG/s400/Pretty+in+Pink,+cab+%236+%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452041764910917586" border="0" /></a><br><br />This cabochon is a Argentina Rhodochrosite Round Cab.

The actual story is behind the beaded eggs. I've never attempted anything like this before so I thought, how hard could this really be...Ha! I beaded my lil fingers off and was getting no where. I had wanted to make all of my sons and grand-kids some beaded eggs for Easter, and use some of my Bead Stash that I have at the same time. Well...the only one who's going to have beaded eggs for Easter is yours truly. Some that my sweet mother had made for me a few years ago, then these. Oh my goodness I've never before had that amount of troubles trying to make something in my life. So...the only Easter eggs my sons and grand children will be getting is ones that the Bunny himself brings. lol<br /><br />I have to <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">link</span> the person who tagged me: <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Marie Segal</span> at http://mariesegal.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Now...according to the <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-weight: bold;">Rules</span> I have to tag 5 other people.

I love everything about them, learning how to bead around them, learning new stitches, the way they look, the way they feel...I've now realized that when you start one you don't know how it's going to turn out. You just go with the look of the cab, the beads and then with the different stitches that you are using it just seems to come to life!<br />Cabochons fascinate me and now I even have my very good friend who is like a sister to me, Beth making them now for me! (Thanks Sweetie, they're gorgeous!) You can take a peek at what she's made since last night at Bellesanbeaus <a href="http://bellesanbeauscrafts.blogspot.com/">Crafts</a>. I have to say that Beth didn't even know what a cabochon was until I started working with them about a month ago and she's still not seen one in person! But I can't wait to be able to try to bead something with the ones she made, they're awesome! I'm actually thinking I'm going to attempt a Bead Embroidery piece with some of them. That's another project that I'll be self teaching myself, just like cabochons!<br />But...getting back to my 5th cabochon, I'd like to introduce to you, "Desert Sea".<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWqDG6Ju1tDE_knaqdpVulIXKONbXUdh7r524hgnc2WdUEEGTw5Izfv1WRG9wVktqukLQT1COfab1R6rHo5J8ozyxqWslc9YZ-I9oI40C-Ki5CzxFmKBRDp5_VIAZyM19vH9Ui_Fbr93-p/s1600-h/5th+cabochon.+(1).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWqDG6Ju1tDE_knaqdpVulIXKONbXUdh7r524hgnc2WdUEEGTw5Izfv1WRG9wVktqukLQT1COfab1R6rHo5J8ozyxqWslc9YZ-I9oI40C-Ki5CzxFmKBRDp5_VIAZyM19vH9Ui_Fbr93-p/s400/5th+cabochon.+(1).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450879594274815554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMkYikmw54YdmEvUyEV8-YGmv3oyAFBvXmn9wJ8QH2n6PmwDeyr8pLni4SoIU5rdIrSsLBrH3YxU1IdixZDYadgU6IiMP5YpkIGCVpMFdnlsTN58ndEk8nTpI33NECuEPRFIAi0Bizh6G8/s1600-h/0320001812.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMkYikmw54YdmEvUyEV8-YGmv3oyAFBvXmn9wJ8QH2n6PmwDeyr8pLni4SoIU5rdIrSsLBrH3YxU1IdixZDYadgU6IiMP5YpkIGCVpMFdnlsTN58ndEk8nTpI33NECuEPRFIAi0Bizh6G8/s400/0320001812.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450879583795695282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4_cPYFQv6p3t49Kop-vs2vZcjZC58TiflGLIcRrN8UirfUCx1h8gW59XAT0bRwW9wTLZebQM1vnXjMuOhYRgA-jKHQAZNmn-mCQNf1kHHIgJBubTOYveJ0VacimArXMGA2QrISXpDHJPf/s1600-h/5th.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4_cPYFQv6p3t49Kop-vs2vZcjZC58TiflGLIcRrN8UirfUCx1h8gW59XAT0bRwW9wTLZebQM1vnXjMuOhYRgA-jKHQAZNmn-mCQNf1kHHIgJBubTOYveJ0VacimArXMGA2QrISXpDHJPf/s400/5th.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450879566915171490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPsrIivGO80pEYdbbuHU-tyTJGGj0-3Fj0p-6c9g2S-yTvMEUgJdCrQ8Qh7MJ9sF7diulJqxAv08DYJOjdTPYdCfiSqmqALtErKLnnHp3HtgFaD4krGMVUcE1ujPg0IFGjQXXoHqhenSHa/s1600-h/5th+cabochon.+(2).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPsrIivGO80pEYdbbuHU-tyTJGGj0-3Fj0p-6c9g2S-yTvMEUgJdCrQ8Qh7MJ9sF7diulJqxAv08DYJOjdTPYdCfiSqmqALtErKLnnHp3HtgFaD4krGMVUcE1ujPg0IFGjQXXoHqhenSHa/s400/5th+cabochon.+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450879558339189586" /></a><br />Thanks so much for stopping in today and I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your weekend, Happy 1st Day of Spring!
