HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Only a few more days to go...I have convinced my 16 year old to help me make dinner for the first time ever..she gets so $#!%#$ in the kitchen...LOL..should be interesting. Just the 3 of us for Thanksgiving this year...but we will still enjoy our turkey dinner.

It has now been about 6 weeks of no smoking (well a couple of cheats now and then) but I wonder if and when the craving ever goes away. I so admire those people who can be social smokers..you know the ones..they only have one once in a while, like at the bar when they have a drink...I know I can't do that though as I just want one more, and one more etc. My hubby will be 4 months of no smoking Nov 25th. I still can't believe it.

I have some really cool new beads up on etsy...I am having so much fun playing with my double helix glass and silver foil. My customers seem to like them too as I have sold quite a few sets and also have lots of custom orders still to do.

Not much else fit to print...so have a great week and enjoy your THANKSGIVING DAY...have fun and eat lots!!!

Only 3 weeks to Thanksgiving YIKES

.......I am so behind this year...I have to have my international Christmas parcels sent out by Nov 4th to get there on time...I have not even shopped yet...my beads are coming out in spurts, but at least Halloween is over...here is a picture of me and my butler getting ready to give out the Candy. We had 184 kids this year so that is down about 60 from when we moved into this neighborhood in 2002. But of course a lot of the kids are now big teens who go to parties instead of trick or treating now...but it was fun...had to meet a few of them at the end of the walk as they were a bit too scared to come up to the door...but they were always happy to see me as long as I had their goodie bags and their glo-sticks....

Also I finally got the updated BLOG link to my Wonderful Bead Club called the BEAD HIVE...there is such a great amount of talent here....check out all the stores where you will find beautiful artisan jewelery and beads.

Hope you all have a great day...I am out at the torch trying to get caught up, so hopefully I will have a bunch of listings for the rest of the week. Don't forget to check out my etsy stores for lots of great gift ideas. There is rufusandroxy and rufusandroxy2.
