Okay, what's up with my google account?!
I've been trying to leave comments on blogs for 2 days now, and it won't let me!!!
The drop down box isn't there! Just the arrow.
I guess I'll contact Google and see if they can help.
I just wanted you all to know I didn't forget you, I just can't talk to you!
ARGH!!!!!!!

Camera Woes...
I want a new digital camera, but I can't decide what kind to get! It has to be simple to use, and take good photos, because I'm sick of mine. I'm looking at Canon Powershot and Fuji. I don't know!!!!
I made a new bracelet today and couldn't get any decent pics. I have to edit the crap out of everthing just so you can see the item.
This is it. It's 8g copper wire, hammered all around, but flattened on the ends. Wrapped in sterling wire. It's really pretty, but you can't tell from the pics!
Business is slow right now, but it's still there, so I usually have something to make everyday. In between orders, I've been trying to get some new things made. The pollen is so bad right now that it's hard to work. My head hurts, my eyes feel awful, and my nose is stuffy. All of our trucks are a yucky yellowish color. I wash it off everyday, and it comes right back! You can see it blowing around in the air and it piles up in drifts. UGH!
I hope you all are breathing nice, clean air where you are!

Happy St. Patrick's Day
I'm a little bit Irish, so I get to celebrate! Actually I'm pretty much a mutt. I'm Native American, German, Irish, Dutch, and no telling what else! But that's what makes me, ME!
Well, I got hubby to the airport on time yesterday, and sent him off to Sinapore. He was very nervous, because he's never flown on a jet before, and was worried about changing planes, but there was a guy going to the other rig there, and he helped. I hope he likes working over there, but I know he won't like being gone for 28-30 days. He will like being home for that long though! He was home for over a month this time.
I worked pretty much everyday that he was home and it makes him mad that I can't just run the roads with him. Most people don't seem to understand that just because I work at home, doesn't mean I can take off whenever I feel like it! It is still a job, and orders have to be made and sent in a timely manner. I work more hours now than I ever did at an outside job! I almost never have a day off, and if I do, I feel like I should be using that time to make new things. Sometimes it feels like jewelry has taken over my life! :) It is always on my mind.
I did take Saturday off, but it was because I had to. I woke up sick at my stomach hen my neck, shoulder, and left arm started hurting, and hurt all day! I finally decided maybe it was a heart attack, because the pain kept getting worse and spreading! I still don't know what it was, and my neck still hurts a little, but I'm okay.
I did manage to make some new stuff!
This is an intertwined baby ring necklace that a customer asked me to make.
These are my favorite earrings EVER! They look so good on your ears. They have a gorgeous labradorite, a moonstone, and a mystic topaz stone and they can be worn in a lot of different combinations, so they are actually several pairs of earrings in one.
Last is my newest spinning ring in sterling silver with 4 goldfilled spinners. There's more, but I'll save them for next time.
I hope everyone is doing well and having fun, because fun is important! It is to me, anyway! :)

Quick update
Sally of The Bear Affair sent me this "something to think about" and I wanted to share it with everyone.

Forgive Me!
It's been so long since I posted, I'm ashamed! My hubby is still home, and doesn't leave until the 16th, so I haven't been around much. I was also very busy with orders for a while, but that has stopped! :(
I stopped in to say that I was given 2 awards! YAY! Once from Swati at The Purple Flower. it's the Spreader of Love award, and since I did it already, I won't post it again, but I was honored to receive it again!
The second one is the Let's Be Friends Award from Kirstie at Bonhomie Jewelry. I am also very honored to receive this one!
Here's the description:
These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.Now I'd like to pass this award on to:Chris Kerr Jewelry
I would like to give the award to everyone I know, but I guess I'll try to stick to the rules for once! LOL
I have managed to make several new necklaces and earrings, but I won't bore you with the photos. You can see them all in my shop if you want to.
I guess I better sign off, before I get in trouble, but I will return!

I was tagged!
I'm sorry I haven't been around, but my husband is home until the 16th of March, then he's going to Sinapore. He doesn't like for me to spend time on the computer, so I've been trying to stay away.
I found out tonight that I was photo tagged by Swati at The Purple Flower! I'm supposed to post the 4th photo in my files and tell you about it. Then I'll tag 4 more.
It's a really bad pic, taken with a crappy camera, but it is my favorite dog!
Oscar, the weenie dog! He was just a little baby then, and he was barking at me when I took this.

He's bigger now, but still barks at me for attention. He thinks I belong to him, and doesn't want anybody near me. He will squeeze in between my hubby and myself if we sit too close! He also doesn't like it if I talk on the phone. What a nutty dog!
Now, for my 4:
1. Kirstie at Bonhomie Jewels
2.Candace at C. Gail Designs
3.Jessica at Jessica C.
4.Cheryl at Lavender Cottage Originals
Let's see those photos!
