I love "handmade" and making some kind of box for my handmade jewelry to arrive in was a big deal to me. I wanted my customers to feel the whole "handmade" experience, so I was stoked to find some very pretty petal box templates from forchicsake.com!

We found out yesterday, and I'm shouting it from the roof-tops!
Your eyes might be green..
Your eyes might be blue..
My imagination runs wild..
With images of you.
Your hands and your feet..
How small they will be..
When you're placed in my arms..
Oh what a happy Grandma I'll be!

Valentine's Day is coming and I've been making these fun necklaces. The pendants are collage images sealed with glass domes. I started working with glass tiles/domes last year. It's really fun....and very addicting! ;)

Even though it was a rainy wet day, we just wanted to get away and go for a drive. We both love Idaho...and we live so close that it only takes 15 minutes to drive to the state line. Spirit Lake is a little bit farther away though, but so worth the drive.

He also left behind his Mother, an older brother, 2 sisters (including me), lots of neices and nephews and distant cousins and Aunts.
