A Gift

Well it has been a while since I've blogged and believe me
when I say I was totally unprepared for what I found. 
Who changed my blogging world?  This is gonna take a little
getting used to.  So instead of jumping into the Bead and Button
show goodies I got last weekend, I am gonna start with a post about
a beautiful gift from my sister Beverly.  It arrived just a day before
I left for Wisconsin, I knew something was coming (Beverly almost
had to cut her tongue out so she wouldn't tell me!). 
I was thrilled when I opened the box and found this beautiful
pendant that she embroidered for me.  A beautiful ceramic cab
from Summers Studio Ceramics.  I love it!  And I just so happened
to get a pair of shell earrings from Nancy at Round Rabbit,
(who is having a SALE). Don't they match perfectly?  I thought so.
Love you Beverly!
I promise Bead and Button goodies tomorrow.  Cross my heart  ;^)

Getting Back to "Normal"

We finally made it home just before midnight. Followed

behind some big storms and had to wait out some delays

at the airport.

Those were the best four days I've had in a long time. My

nephew is the sweetest and we bonded in no time flat. Little

guy had cut two teeth while we were there the first day...

He had some congestion too. But he's not the fussy baby.

I got to know my sister better too. The one and only time

I had met her was on her wedding day and I think she was

a little stressed...lol! We played cards and drank our wine

and laughed a lot.

So today I'm playing catch up. Lots of orders came in at the

shop, thank God for that! So I'm off to try and get back to

normal....

We're here!

We are here in Phoenix! The weather is a bit
warmer than I'm used to, 105 degrees. Word is
that its gonna be cooler today, only 95! I'm glad
I packed my summer stuff.
We've been playing with the little one. He's the
sweetest of baby boys. Terra the dog is happy to
see us too. Babies and dogs, my kind of vacation!
My brother even fixed us breakfast this morning.
My taking pictures for later. See ya!
