Yeah, I know, you probably think the little green men came and took me away. I disappeared into the wild blue yonder. Well, I do that sometimes. I’m still here, just not here.
I have been caught up in Idol-land though. I was really pulling for Adam Lambert to win and was disappointed when he didn’t. He took it with such grace. He knows that he didn’t lose anything, I’m sure he has people clammering at his feet to sign him. I still think he’s truly the most talented contestant to every grace that stage, not to mention he’s a cutie. I admit it, I like guys with makeup and nail polish, or not.
I’m really happy that this weekend is Memorial Day weekend! YAY! No lake visits for us, but I’ve got something better - four days filled with nothing, nada, zilch! The sound of that is music to my ears. Well, actually, I do have things to do. I have new items that are completed and not photographed yet and I’ve got a studio table full of little bits and baubles just waiting to be strung together. And, I might get to some of that this weekend, don’t know yet. I bought a topsy turvey tomato planting thing today (two actually) and I have tomatoes to plant. There’s nothing better than home grown organic tomatoes. I spent a small fortune last year buying them from a local farmer and I decided I was going to grow them myself. I’ll keep you posted on the upside down tomato plant thing. I have my doubts, but I’m willing to try anything once.
The Happily Handmade Giveaway ended last week and winners were drawn this past Monday. I had a winner from my shop - yay! Congrats to Paulette Dorland - she won basket #11. A fine bunch of loot if you ask me! I also did my $25 gift certificate drawing for my shop. As soon as the winner confirms with me, I’ll announce them too.
A happy weekend to all! I’ll be announcing a special promotion for Memorial Day weekend tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Oh my Dear Blog,
I am so sorry you feel neglected and lonely. I haven’t posted anything here in more than a week and a half. Do not feel sad, dear blog. I haven’t forgotten you. Sometimes I feel the pressures of my world pushing down on me and I let things drop - like blog posts. Know that I still love you and will come back soon.
Always,
~Your Susan

When I saw this faceted crystal, I HAD to have it! I have to say, I love buying gemstones as much as I enjoy creating jewelry with them. I want to keep them all to myself. Mine, they are all mine!!
But nevertheless, I made a huge sacrifice and created a gorgeous necklace with this particular crystal. This would be perfect for a wedding, a prom or a just because you deserve something beautiful. I just listed in my shop, but I wanted to keep it for me. Grab it now, it’s a OOAK (one of a kind) and I may decide I need it more than you do. And yes, for just this weekend, it’s included in my birthday special.
My birthday sale was spotted by Etsy Admin and included in this week’s edition of Weekend Deals! Mary chose my Spring Greens necklace to represent my shop. Check out my shop and all of the others that have deals listed this weekend. Happy shopping!
Hi all -
I’ll be turning 39 on the 16th (Monday) so I’ve decided to have a birthday sale this weekend! The sale ‘offically’ starts Saturday, but for my bloggy friends, you can get the great deals now!
Just put “Happy Birthday!” in the notes to seller and I’ll send you a revised invoice.
Thanks so much for celebrating with me!
Well, I was right! The Plum treasury below made a gorgeous front page! It was featured yesterday - thanks Etsy!
