I haven't disappeared for good. Today I finally got out all my bjp stuff and plans for my tags out in open. Hopefully this week I begin to work on Nov, Dec, and Jan. Yes I said begin! Holidays just take all my focus, and then right in the middle of all the Christmas mess, I had to get my house more organized so that we could have it appraised which is a job in itself. On a very very sad note, on Jan. 11 my mom called all of us to say my brother had died suddenly. Sooo... talk about taking the wind out of any sail I had remaining, that did it. He was 'healthy' and just turned 50! It was a shocker..he apparently had a massive heart attack. No, not overweight at all...but he was a smoker..My husband and I loaded up Bella and drove the 900 or so miles with Bella in tow and had a lot of soul searching to do as we drove across country. We had been eating healthy for a while now, and I thank the lord I don't smoke. You just never never know when your day is 'gonna come. We are all just devastated. I'm sorry if I haven't commented on some of my favorite blogs, but will catch up on everything I have missed. Hope some of you missed me. The following quote rang so true this week...

"At the end of your life you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent....Barbara Bush

Whaaa Happened to November?
It's the end of November...and no I haven't even finished my bjp for November. I feel like I've been neglecting my bjp duties... My goal was to finish each bjp tag within the month...and that goal is now out the door...Oh well. I have been busy making kits and jewelry for a show on Tuesday. Here's a picture of one of the kits for angels. My friend who owns a bead store is sharing a table with me, and she will have tons of kits and beads to sell. Let's hope with this economy that we can at least sell some small things. I made up lots and lots of little charms in addition to kits, thinking that people are more willing to spend 2.50 or 3.00 for those than a pair of earrings for $8 or a kit for $10 to $13. I managed to make a small beaded turquoise cabachon last night that put me back into my beading mode. Tonight I'll get out my bjp stuff.

Carols Challenge
Well CAROL OF BEADS AND BIRDS challenged us to snap pictures of our scenery of the day, on the way to work. In my case I have snapped from the time I get up and beyond..Hope you enjoy..I put up all of the pictures on my Gypsy Travels Blog HERE , only so I can keep it separate from the bead journal project and here are a few as well. Hope you enjoy my piece of the world.
My first vision of the day is usually Bella, my sweet baby girl, licking and nudging that it's time to get up and out!!! Mommy get up NOW!!! One eye opened, hair glued in the upright position, and fuzzy robe on, we head downstairs to the door. Bellas hair doesn't look all that great either..she's a wild child!
In the early, early morning before the sun is all the way up, fog fills the trails that we walk on, and sometimes we'll see a stray coyote on this trail. Not today however. At night we hear them howling and howling. I wonder why people let their cats out to roam at night...but it is beautiful in the morning!
As I walk and the sun is now up I'm with my faithful companion and sweet love, Bella!! On my walks everyday, but only on the fall mornings, we see a common sight. The geese hang out on the grass by the little waterfalls over the rocks. I try to leave them be, but when people get to close they uplift together into the air and honk and honk, it is just so cool! Great way to begin the day and thank god for my many blessings. These are the simple pleasures I live for. At night we see them all huddled together under the docks. In the late evenings we have been seeing tiny minnows in abundance!
