An Update

What is new? January 30th I had a new tattoo done by Inked Expressions Tattoo, www.inkedexpressionstattoo.com

It looks alot more painful than it actually was. It was a very relaxing experience, but I am a weirdo and have a high pain tolerance. The after effect was the worse part, it was pretty tender for the first couple of days but now it feels great. I am going back in a week or so to have it colored.

I sold my Turtle bracelets from my Etsy store on January 30. I still have yet to hear back from the person who bought them so we can do feed back on eachother.

Cale had to go to Kamloops last weekend for a home trade show. I went along for the ride and was able to check out the downtown area which had a really cool bead store, Bead Connections. Check out their website @ www.beadlady.net

I left the store with a good haul of beads.

I actually went back the next day to get more because they had so much cool stuff. They’re open on Sundays!

I made a bunch of new bracelets

From left to right starting at top -

• Citrine Buddha Bracelet

Setting Up Shop

We're back from Edmonton and brought a nasty cold/flu bug back with us. My hubby is worse off than I am and had to go to the doc yesterday. He is feeling much better today. Goes to show it doesn't matter how healthy one tries to be, it will still catch you sooner or later. Damn you winter!

We set up our Etsy shop today. I will be adding some more neat items soon.

On the Road

We're in Edmonton for a few days. Not as cold as I thought it would be, but I guess it has been warmer than normal lately. I managed to take some pictures before I left of some earrings I made out of CAT 5 wire. I have posted them on the web site. Also took some pics of Cale's artwork and a couple of bracelets. In the process of making a spot for those.
I love laptops and wireless internet.

Web Crafting Part Deux

finally finished the web site, although it will never really be ‘finished’. But I have the layout up that I like, the colors and banner might change eventually. But for now I am going to concentrate on posting more pictures and more content.

Web Crafting

working on our website trying to get a layout made that is original and all ours. right now I borrowed one to use just so I could have it looking half decent. think I am going to take a break. I think my computer needs a break more than I do. It's making some funny sounds.
