Got tired of looking at my last journal from eons ago.  I managed to create one necklace this year.  It was for one of my best friends who wore it at her wedding.  Unfortunately, my pics suck since I finished the necklace at the last minute, as usual, and rushed the picture taking.  I'll post one or two pics later if I find some decent ones.

I've been gone from dA for a while.  It's been such a busy year.  We remodeled our house, sold it, bought another one, and I am now undergoing a second role change in my job with additional responsibilities.  Been working so hard I am now sick with my second cold in a month.  I am just glad it's not the flu!  We've been getting mini-epidemics of the regular flu and the H1N1 flu at work the last few months and we've all been trying to avoid it. Since we're living in tight quarters now until our new house gets built, my jewelry-making supplies are all in storage.  So I won't be posting anything for a while.  I certainly miss making jewelry.  T

Katerina423 (https://www.deviantart.com/katerina423) and I have been working together to help someone very special to us.  We are trying to gather enough funds so that kahl (https://www.deviantart.com/kahl) (Carissa) will have an emergency fund allowing her access to her medication if she needs it and the money to move to an area that has work and a new life waiting for her. If you'd like to know more about kahl (https://www.deviantart.com/kahl) and how you can help, please check out Katerina423 (https://www.deviantart.com/katerina423)'s journal post here for more details. Thank you for everyone's support. :heart: Much :love: to Carissa and Elliot.
