HAHAHAHAhahahahaha...
Catherine sent a cool link for making your own snowflakes..these are really pretty...go have fun and chill out...
I went to bed in a bad mood last night, and its not even 10:00 yet this morning and I'm already having a bad day this morning...but all I can do is LAUGH because if I don't, I might start finding shiny glass things and breaking them with my hammah...and there are plenty of shiny glassy things in this studio to break...I love breaking things when I'm in a bad mood - thank goodness it doesn't happen very often...and I don't break much, but I have been known to throw mandrels across the room when the bead release breaks and I was in a hurry to make a request for someone who is in a 'rush job'...(now that I don't do requests, the number of flying mandrels in the studio has gone way down...heh)...there are times that being at the torch just doesn't work out well...your brain starts to rattle, emails and conversations start to percolate, the people who cut you off in traffic start to appear and before you know it, a slight annoyance like bead release breaking turns into a mandrel flying across the room...
I actually haven't tossed a mandrel in a long time, but there is something very liberating and satisfying about it...I tend to laugh afterwards- i mean the bead is already a piece of junk, so tossing it doesn't exactly hurt it more than it was...I have to be careful and aim for a concrete part of the studio, so I don't end up burning the carpet or the dog...most of the time the animals are outside chasing squirrels, so its not a problem..
so now you know, some days are better than others...some days I have interesting conversations...yesterday I had to drive all over town to find a particular ATM that seemed to be out of service everywhere I went...but then other days everything goes smoothly and its the best day ever...apparently today is not going to be that kind of day...ha...

Oh Donna, I'm sorry, here is a HUGE HUG!!
Boy, you must have been in my head last night as I wondered if only new beadmakers had days where nothing would go right no matter what...I guess we all have those days. I know I get bad things happen when I try to push and shove things out of their own natural rhythm. You are a free spirit.. I relate to not being interested in the pressure that comes with having to do requests, family requests are the worst in my case..
On a good note, I was at the River Walk last night, was thinking I could have bumped into you if I had gone the other day when you were there..Pretty lights all the way.Did you go the Alamo with your friends?
Sending you a bunch or good vibes and happy tinkling thoughts to ease your day. There is some love too, if you think you can use it..

Boy, I hear ya! I've got to go to the Post Office and mail a package to Nebraska - oh how I dread waiting in line there! Lots of other little annoying errands today too . . . and no coffee in the house . . . how did that happen!? I guess I better hit Starbucks and pick up something. Maybe a nice Chantico - a girl needs her chocolate fix! Wishing you a calm, productive day - hope all goes well for you! Hang in there!

yeah, i'm still laughing here...even tho my mouse is starting to act up again and my printer stopped working (cost me postage for 3 different attempts, and still no label!)...i'm getting emails from folks I haven't heard from in ages, its just a really odd odd odd day...but all I can do is laugh and keep going...even my horoscope says - "Sure, you're all over the map right now, what with work, socializing, errand-running... Losing your head would be one response, and so would getting so stressed out that you can't enjoy the good elements of this busy season. Luckily your powers of communication are amped up, letting you vent in ways that keep those around you both intrigued and amused."
