Good morning friends! Today we're having what I call a "fishbowl day" - it's overcast in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and when you look out of the window, it's greenish and hazy, sort of what I imagine our world must look like to a fish looking out of a bowl.
I really appreciate all of the kind comments about my website revisions, here is one more for your critique.
The original site: Vibrant Jewels:
By the way, the feedback and search options won't be working as yet - until I decide which design to use, get rid of the rest and upload the completed site.
Update on mom: She's not doing too well, is suffering with an impacted bowel and a serious GI infection, has been in the hospital since Sunday. She's also having breathing problems. Please continue to pray for her!
Yesterday was weird. We live in a split level, so you have to go up and down stairs for everything, not fun if you have joint problems. I came down to the family room and turned on hubby's PC so he could scan in the new Sea Shard kits. Went upstairs to the bathroom, about 20 min later came back down stairs and the family room was full of smoke!!! It smelled like an electrical fire, but I couldn't find the source. Went back upstairs to wake up hubby and son for help, came back downstairs, turned everything off, checked all the electrical outlets - no flash, no heat - wondering whether to push the panic button YET. Hubby came downstairs, couldn't find the source of the smoke, which had begun to dissipate somewhat. Son came down and voila! found the problem. Hubby's MONITOR had caught fire!!! It blew a hole in the bottom of the monitor - that's why I couldn't locate it - and of course now the house smells like eau de burnt monitor!!! All's well that ends well though - we didn't have to call the fire dept, and my boss loaned me a monitor until we can afford to replace it. Now hubby's really gonna have to get those kits cookin'.
The problems that we are trying to solve are:
> -slow loading times
> -frames
> -a "cluttered" appearance
>
> We are trying for a simplier, more streamlined look, easier to navigate, and
> faster to load. Any comments would be appreciated.

> I'm very excited about some new Sea Shards (tm) kits that I'm hoping to
