This & That

A little of this and a little of that...

 

Happy Friday the 13th!

It's going to be a lucky day I can feel it.   Can't you?!

This is what happened from the last inspiration, some fun bling...

More Inspiration

I found myself drawn to this palette, the golden color of pyrite, and the calmness of aquamarine.  It felt like a good combo.

Pyrite:  The resemblance of pyrite to gold has made it a traditional symbol for money and good luck.  It's sunny golden color associates it with the sun, and with fortification and strengthening of the mind.  The name comes from the Greek word meaning "a stone which strikes fire". Iron Pyrite makes a wonderful energy shield, blocking out negativity from various sources.  Some of its properties include:

• Overcomes inertia and feelings of inadequacy
• Energizes the area where you place it (such as on a desk where you work)
• Helps you to see behind a facade

Use this stone to overcome lethargy and fatigue.  It increases the oxygen supply to the blood and strengthens the circulatory system.  It is beneficial for the lungs, alleviating bronchitis and asthma.

Aquamarine is a blue-green stone that comes from Colombia and Brazil.  It has been called "Water of the Sea", because of its color.  The aquamarine is the stone of sailors, believing it would be protection for them on water.  Folklore says the aquamarine will protect against gossip.  It is also said the aquamarine will pick up spirits. It is an excellent stone to use for meditating.  This is the stone to help you be in touch with your spiritual being.  Aquamarine is also often associated with the thymus gland.  It is very soothing worn as a necklace.  Healers use it to help reduce fluid retention. It has been used to calm the nerves.

INSPIRATION...

Look what I found today....ALL kinds of good stuff.  This should keep me busy for a while, not that I don't have enough to keep me busy, but I love new inspiration.

Have a good week!

Peek-A-Boo

If there was just a little sunshine, I can come out and play. 

Hope everyone is having or had a nice Easter!

Glitterfest Spring

Glitterfest was this past Saturday, I’ve been there as a vendor since the very first one in May 2009.  My how it as grown and evolved, it truly is an amazing event.  It was so nice to see friends, customers, fellow bloggers and make new connections.

A big “Thank You” to our hosts, Sheryl and Dianne of Whimzy for making it another sparkling event!!

I was able to capture a few photos this time.  I always want to see everyone’s incredible displays and art, I'm usually in ah so I seem to forget about taking photos, and it does get busy quick once the doors open so it’s easy to miss the opportunity.

 A big “THANK YOU” to my BF, Cindy, who came to help me once again, I couldn’t do it without you!

Thank you for all of you that came out to support us.

Put October 15th on your calendar ladies, the next Glitterfest. You really DON'T want to miss it!

What's Been On My Desk

The count down 'til Glitterfest, can you believe it is this Saturday!   I've been so busy I didn't realize it was  St. Patty's day today.  Hope everyone ate lots of corn beef and drank green beer (responsibly of course).   

March Madness

My desk is absolute chaos with Glitterfest just two weeks away, the crunch is on.  I’m only showing you just a tiny bit of it ALL too.  Do I dare expose my true disaster?

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but do you ever feel like there just isn’t enough time in the day?  When we add the day to day life routines sometimes it can be overwhelming.  But as someone reminded me recently, we all have the same amount of hours to work with, even such icons as Helen Keller, Albert Einstein (of course, he had a whole different concept of time), Michael Angelo just to mention a few, and look at what they accomplished.  

With that said, although I'd rather to be doing this...  

So Cute...What a life, huh?

I should get back to the piles on my work space so I can have a sense of accomplishment. 

Enjoy your week!
