What a beautiful day is it today! What a beautiful week it's been and it loos like next week is more of the same! It is rare to have temps in the 70s for two week in March! Looks like Spring has arrived!!!
Got a message from a friend who I haven't seen in 20 some years today...she was going to be in my area and wanted to meet for a bit. We've keep in touch throughout the years, and it was so wonderful to see her today! But an hour of chit chat in the food court at the mall wasn't enough time to catch up on everything! Definitely will have to meet up with her again :-)
Bought some stuff to make a birthday gift for another friend. Last year at this time I made her the wonderful spa basket....this year I don't want to do the same, so I am making her a soy candle and a bracelet. We are meeting up next week and I'll take a bottle of wine with me....hoping that the weather stays like it is now so that we can enjoy that wine outside on her deck!

Spring Ahead!
Did you remember to turn your clocks forward an hour? Even though we loose an hour of sleep, I love this time of the year....it means winter is behind us and the warm spring and summer are ever so much closer!
My new camera arrived last Monday. I got a Nikon D3100. This is my first SLR camera and I am so excited to get to know how to use it and start taking pictures! I played around with it a bit this week, and got a couple of really nice shots...also got a lot of really bad shots!!! I went to Best Buy yesterday and purchased a UV filter for this camera...saw a lot of write ups on the web about using one not only to make the photos crisper, but to protect the camera's lense. So, I might have to get outside and snap a few shots using no filter and then using the filter, just to see what the difference is.
This week should be a wonderful week....temps in the high 60s for most of the week...not usual for March weather around here....but I am so looking forward to it...can't wait to get the flip flops on and let my feet breathe! lol
Today I hope to get some crafty stuff done. Bought some things to make some new style bracelets and think I will work on jewelry. I also started scrapping some photos, so I would like to finish those up too.
Here's to a crafty day ahead....and a crafty WARM week ahead too!!!

Here is a bracelet that I made...it is finished, but this picture shows it during the final stages of getting done. Love the bracelet, but think that I would have preferred it to be thinner...maybe three rows.
Here's a bracelet I just made a few weeks ago...love the colors and it was so simple to make...want to make more of these for sure!

Oh my....I can't believe it's been this long!
Wow...I can't believe that it is almost a year since I last posted on this blog! I guess other things just got in the way and I totally forgot about this. I am going to try to keep up, if not daily, then at least a few times a week.
Let's see...since the last post....well, the job I was starting back then has turned out to be just wonderful! I love it there and am hoping that I will be there for a long, long time. Not much else has changed with me...yeah, kind of a boring life! ha ha ha
I've worked on my scrapping, made some jewelry and made some more soaps and scrubs....love working on my crafts! I did go to a rubber stamping show back in July and won a $100 door prize to spend at the show...so I definitely stocked up on some stamps and supplies then.
I've reorganized my scrapping area so that things are all organized by either color or theme....makes it so much easier to have it this way. Plus, my one dog decided that he liked to chew on some of the stuff that just happened to be within his reach by being stored on the floor....so no more chewed supplies!!!
Hopefully I will be checking in more often.....I don't want to be a bad blogger!
