I went shopping!

I've been MIA for a while and haven't been doing much jewelry making for the past couple months.  My mom has had a rough 2011 so far.  First up was radiation treatment for breast cancer and most recently she was in the hospital with pneumonia.  She is home, doing well and taking it easy while she recovers.

A gem show was in town last weekend and my mom was so looking forward to going with me.  She always goes with me and loves to look at strand after strand of gemstones and pearls.  The day was always capped off with a nice lunch.  This year I went alone but still brought my new beads to show her.  I can't wait to start creating again!

It finally stopped raining!  We've been under a rain cloud that finally decided to move away!  So my hubby took this opportunity to have a load of topsoil and mulch delivered.  Oh boy,  it's going to be a fun weekend!  I have a feeling I may be a little sore by the time Sunday night comes around!
