A whole bunch of new pieces!

Hi out there,
  Are we all gearing up for Christmas or what?  It's now into the crush of holiday gift buying, traffic and general frenzy.  While I have done some shopping, I really have to hit Wal Mart, which gives me the heebie jebbies.  I have to be ready to go into battle for that one.  Kaylynne, my horse-crazed 6 year old daughter, wanted the Butterscotch animatronic pony for Christmas.  $99 plus tax.  Ahhh, no.  Did I ever expect to get a $100 gift from my parents?  No.  So, I found a cute one that is similar and smaller, $45.  Still expensive, but at least it's in the ball park.
   The Jungle Gym cafe fair was pretty lame.  There were a ton of vendors there and it was super slow.  Apparently there were even less people there than typical for a Friday afternoon.  So, I worked, as usual.  Guess I didn't have to stay up until 1 am the night before working on stuff.  Well, at least I did that work and now I can do more!  I always meet nice ladies who do cool handmade stuff.  I made my buy in, mostly because the owner, a super buffed chick named Tonya, came by and bought stuff from most of the vendors, it seemed.  I guess she felt bad!!  Cool thing is that she got me to use my Pay Pal account for the first time.  Very easy, awesome.  Send an e-mail, get paid.  Nice!
    On that note, if you have a Pay Pal account, I can send you an invoice and you can just pay on-line. Quick and easy.
    This past weekend, I went to Julian with our friends Arika, Mike, Alexander and Kaliope.  We had a really nice time.  The weather was gorgeous, the pie out of this world, the mine tour really cool.  AND, on our way home, fabulous hubby let me stop by a little dive in Santa Isobel that had tons of cool rocks!  I went crazy of course, and bought 33 rocks. They are so cool though, and could make so many awesome pieces of jewelry.  So, watch out for the funky Jaspers and names I can't pronounce.  I loved the Sodalite...anyone heard of that? Its an amazing deep blue. 
    On that note, please enjoy perusing the following update on pieces.  Some have been sold, but of course I can make duplicates.  Thanks for reading!!
