Newsy Bits (call it a blog if you insist)
	ready, set, here I go!

Welcome to my news page.  I haven't been very active with my website, and I'm ready to change that.   I don't have much of a clue about writing blogs, and I don't know what you would like to know about, so you could really help me out here, by emailing me and telling me what you want to see on this page.

Time sits still for no one.  I have been out of the loop for a while.  With the change in the economy, my beads were not commanding the prices necessary to keep me in the style to which I had become accustomed (somewhere above abject poverty, LOL,) so I went and got a "real" job.  Falling back on an old skill, I went to work decorating cakes for a grocery store bakery.  Even there, the economy was being felt, and when my hours got cut, I found myself looking for a less expensive place to live.  I am amazed at the twists and turns my path takes as it unfolds.  Just when I thought homelessness was in my future, a coworker emerged from the ether with a room to rent in my budget. So, I packed up my stuff, most of which went into storage, including my studio, and was off to new digs.  As you might imagine, bead making came to a grinding halt. 

Next chapter.  My cake decorating job has ended, and I have been offered studio space to work in, so I am looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. 

Although I have relocated, and will probably do so again in the not too distant future, I am still enjoying living in my beautiful mountains.  Today is October 10, 2009, and snow has been falling for two days.  Here is the current view from my windows.

And here I am (in the center) with my three wonderful children and two beautiful grandchildren.

You'll notice I haven't changed this picture.

I finally decided to go on eBay with my pretties.  Check it out. Just click on the button to link to my auction page.

I don't have anything up for sale right now, but I expect that to change soon.
