Happy 8-08-08!

There is this super neat lady in my neighborhood who hosts a party – and she always invites everyone in the neighborhood – on these “special” number days.  Last year she had a lawn party on July 7th of  ’07.  Isn’t that a novel idea?  She’s just one of those people that comes up with the unique and unusual.  She even has a train track going around her dining room, painted wood staircases with stenciled phrases on them, and a porch swing hanging from her kitchen ceiling.   I could go on about just how memorable she is…. these are the kind of people you don’t forget.

I just finished up a new necklace…hope you don’t mind but it’s my favorite ocean-blue theme.  I was in the mood to create something with that darkened, oxidized finish.  I dug up some boro beads I’ve had from jenagirlbeads…..the encased swirls of blue really are gorgeous in person.  The focal matches perfectly, but I have since forgotten the name of the glass artist.  She was from Puerto Rico.

Time to run…..the boys are ready to be picked up from their last day of Nature Sleuth camp!
