Snowball Fight!
Have you ever played this game? I used to play it years ago and its just so cute..the better you do, the more kids come to knock you down...its addictive...!
Didja catch Rudolph on CBS Wed night? I meant to let ya'll know, but I thought he'd be on next week...Charlie Brown is on Tuesday, I think, so keep an eye out...
I wish we were doing NYC for Christmas again this year, but alas, we will be here in the tropics...tomorrow - 88 here...I can't complain, the few chilly days we've had so far, I've had my space heater running under my desk while I worked..isn't that sad? There's 80 feet of snow in Colorado and I get cold in 50 degree weather...but then I never have liked cold weather, so I'm grateful our winters are so mild...
Brian just returned from Target, with The Christmas Story DVD...looks like we can watch the Bumpus' dog steal the turkey every day now! Last year I made a set of beads while watching the 24 hour marathon on TBS and it was fun...Christmas Eve, and I was at the torch, just like an elf at Santa's workshop...I think I'll do that again this year too - start a holiday tradition for all of us who don't have anything better to do than buy beads...I like that!
I made another run to my local smith store, stocked up on some supplies and hope to get some stuff done...I spent as much money on 6" of gold wire as I did on 10 FEET of silver wire...think about that...I'm thinking of finding some old gold rings and start melting them down...got any broken chains or jewlery you wanna see converted into something cool? keep me in mind...

I really like your new Earrings and I think you have something there with the icicle ones. I'd be interested in purchasing some of those if your making more. Can you tell me what the colors of the beads are in the picture to the right? It seems to be a lovely combination.

Hi Donna-
We watched Rudolph the other night and Rudolph's Shiny New Year and The Year Without a Santa Claus last night. All these shows are a must every year! We bought 'A Christmas Story' a few years back...it's one of those movies you can watch over and over and never get tired of it.
It sounds like you're having fun being all kinds of creative! I'm glad you share photos of your projects--it's always fun to see.
Talk to ya soon...
Rachel

those beads, assuming we're looking at the same ones, are sage and lime green with a larger cocoa bead w/dots at the base..but all 3 of them have been fumed gold, so they shimmer and shine more than typical glass...i plan to offer fumed spacer beads for these earrings, since it won't wear against your skin, it should last a for a very long time...on a good note, my testers are giving me good feedback on the fumed beads they are testing for me - the gold seems to be lasting nicely, so I'm feeling better about offering them for sale on a regular basis...
if those aren't the beads you're talking about, point me in the right direction...

I am heading to NYC next Friday, Dec. 9. Are there any must-sees or must-do you would recommend? We are going to do the Rockefeller Center tree and the store windows but are open to any suggestions.
