my weekend... success?

Image
This weekend I had about a weeks worth of projects that I wanted to accomplish. Did I accomplish all of them? HA! NO! Did I expect to? No☺ I did work on some MORE bee pendants. I am experimenting with colors and finishes and I like what I have so far. I finished a necklace that I think is probably my favorite EVER ..... so far☺ I can honestly say that I have never shopped for specific beads for a specific project (except for a bead weaving pattern I bought. Delica beads.  Dang they are TINY. Talk about a lot of work...whew☺) until I received this heart focal from StudioJuls and I knew I wanted it to be superduperspecialextragorgeousawesome! So I took my gift card I got for Christmas (Thanks Mom!) and got me some goodies from Fire Mountain . I have fallen in love with Swarovski crystals (aren't they perty?) and I discovered swarovski pearls too, cuz they were just the perfect cream color to go with my focal. And a grab bag of copper spacers

I think I'll do another Random Wednesday post...

I had to drive to Anchorage today for a "parts run" and office supplies and since I had quite a few Office Max rewards points built up I thought I would treat myself to a new camera. I wanted something itty bitty that I could carry around in my small-ish purse so that I would have it handy for the occasional 'awesome sunset' or 'beautiful mountain view' that I get rewarded with on my way to or from work because I have learned that I am apparently incompetent when it comes to taking pics with my phone. Which is not a smart phone, by the way, because smart phones are apparently smarter than me and I get annoyed. Sooo, anyhoo, I found the cutest itty bitty Nikon Coolpix s6100 and I love it. So far I seem to be winning in the smart department AND it fits in my purse☺ And since the battery had some juice I took a few pics...  Snow-zilla This is the pile of snow in the lot of the building next to the shop. They have already had snow hau
