A good day

Day before yesterday I got an extra bead from Tracey Waddey (OCD), because she thought I hadn't paid her but I had. A cute little pumpkin. Darling,, but what to do with an orange bead.

So today I finished with it. A necklace of orange and golds, with brown too even -- a first. Also all full of leaves and such, twisted and braided -- another first. Ans using up chips that I've never used for anything before.

Another surprise came in the mail. I won Nicole's "pink/green" lentils. The two side beads are white with a covering of clear glass that hifts between peachy pink and alexandite green. The middle lentil is a mirror finish "reptile" pattern that looks plummy amber. But there was more in the box. A candy necklace and Smokey Cat Peeps and a glowing Halloween ring and glittery Halloween glitter/sequin cats and bats and stuff. Plus, abunch of turq, blue and green (favorite color) beads in a bunch of styles. AND! some of the beads she's made, including the one I watched her make when I was in Calif last year for a high school re-union. It is thanks to the privelege of watching her work that I have any gut understanding of what lampworking means.

And another big surprise in the mail. I won a set of 11 beads from Carol Holmes and she sent me some extras. Two extra flower beads, 4 scrolls and

15 spacers. Wow.

From the post office we went to the travel agency. Two round trip tickets, Fairbanks to Oakland for $1100. Alaska (Oil) Dividend Fund Special. Saved about $300 on each ticket.

As the song goes, "California here I come, right back where I started from".

You're coming to BABE too, aren't you? Do you have your tickets, or dates for travel yet?

Actually, I'm driving down. I am not exactly sure as to travel dates yet, but I hope to finalize things soon. Gotta make sure I have to money first. :) After having to upgrade my stupid computer, money's a little tight, but I am working really hard to save enough. :) I am pretty sure all will be well - as long as nothing happens with my equipment and as long as things sell well until then. What day is BABE on exactly?

Cool - I will probably leave a day or so before that, and drive all day. I'll have all that figured out soon, I promise. I can't wait! This is going to be so much fun!
