Hi Shirley, and allmy friends here, Glad to see your alive and well I too fight DM (diabetes) Your keeping very busy it seems! Planning a wedding and doctor visits ! I understand having my own medical issues but no wedding yet my son is 23 and no girlfriend yet! I getting more and more back into my bead making and Jewelry design after a long sabatical smile! I decided to go back to School and get a art degree wanting to improve my designs and my Jewelry making skills ! I do read sometimes the things going on with you and others who are still in this group but i not very active I admit! I like to get into the swaps of jewelry or hand made beads again I always thought those where the most fun! I glad you still collect spoons and old jewelry to make new as i do my self! I do have a collection of lovely beads from this group and some have not been made into Jewelry but they will again Now and my Muse is back! I do thank those i brought from before and you those who are still here and producing lovelies happy to see you work! I know we all drop out but hopefully we see a return to our Art at some point and time! ! If you recall i worked in Polymer clay and still do but also I used all kinds of beads to do my designs I also now learned to add leather to my work as well of course I soldered rhinestone and I am leaning more metal smithing to follow my dream to work in Precious metal Clay mixtures! I love to see the questions and the ads and the drool worthy list smile! I was laid up in my Back and Made a series of Heart Necklaces None which were red or pink before, I took a trip to CanCun Mexico with my Husband Yes he is still alive and well 76 this past dec! We had a Great time went with another couple and I went snorkling for the first time with my Girl friend as the guys were not into getting wet! She and I also went to Tulum to see the Mayan primaids ! I was tired but thrilled at doing it ! Such fun to have a buddy to do this with as Hubby wont and probally shouldnt with his medical issues Sigh planing a trip to the Florida Keys next year smile !
