Happy New Year

Well Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's have come and gone since I have blogged.
I best get myself in gear!!!!!  Busy.....yes and no.    Feel bad.....yes and no.    Mostly good a little too busy at times and then very tired.
Now that all the Holidays are over and my house is back in order I think I can get back on track.
Celebrated all my Holidays with the normal traditions and loved everyone of them.

Halloween with family and the normal chili plus hot tamales.  Not many children trick r treating. 
Conner was Harry potter and a perfect one.  Katherine was Minnie Mouse and cute as can be.

Thanksgiving lots of people here both family and extended family.  That is my favorite because we are all together.  House is decorated for Christmas already we have lots of laughs and fun.

My favorite because we always talk about what all we are thankful for.  So many blessings it is hard to count them all. 
Big Holiday open House at Southern Market and it was great.  Lots of good sales and such nice people.

I also did the KAMA Fashiondrama this year once again.  I had skipped a couple of years because I just didn't feel like doing the show.  I went and had a great time met up with some of my great customers.

An entire variety  of jewelry from early Fall,

Thanksgiving and of course lots of Christmas jewelry. 

Then came Christmas and my granchildren love that for sure.

She was so excited and loved the tree and every decoration.  We had brunch and then had gifts.

Our daughter and her husband at our home ready to serve.

Festivities were winding down and I was so tired. So much fun was had by all..

Then we had New Year's.   My husband and I met on a blind date 39 years ago on New Year's Eve so that is a very special time for us.  we always go out to eat and celebrate with some friends.

Now the house is deflocked and back to everything being normal and I am really glad.  I was ready for normal again.  Sometimes it can get so hard sometimes to put on your face and try to feel great.

Now it is time to start jewelry for Valentine's and then onward to spring.

That is one thing about jewelry it is never boring because it is a constant change.  Different styles, colors, long, short, bulky, trendy and just casual.

Some like to mix have a little of both and that is a good idea.

I have incorporated She Clay Beads this year and that has been a real success.  So pretty very unusual and durable.

What will Spring bring ---always bright colors, and some pastel colors but very colorful.

Well it is time to get on with some great jewelry making for Southern Market.  

I promise to try and not make is so long this time or my grandchildren will be grown.   No just kidding.

Happy 2012  to each of you
