Well jeepers.... I don't have a bid on my 'remember romance' hanging yet, and the darn thing is a measly 4.99! I listed it as part of ZNE's 'Romance' theme week. If you need a little gifty for someone, bid your heart out :) View everyone's auctions here.

What a great Wednesday I had.... I got a smok'n raise, sold 3 more nest pendants and was chosen to be part of digital creative team! Not bad, not bad at all. More to come next week about the digital creative team. I don't want to blow the horn till her newsletter comes out. I'm totally jazzed to be doing this... it was one of my creative new year resolutions actually, so I'm tickled. UPDATE: I forgot to add that I got word that I'll be showing at the river gallery in March too - yes - it was a slamm'n good day!

So my website's shopping cart is giving me nothing but grief. I have potential shoppers emailing me constantly that they are having problems with it. I can't have that, so I'm switching carts, servers, everything. YIKES. It's going to be HUGE undertaking to rebuild, but a gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do. Wish me luck!

Thank you ... thank you ... thank you

I'm glad to be back among the living... my migraine is gone!
To make my day even better, I've just sold a few pendants on Etsy. Woo hoo. Thanks for the support. It perked me up big time!
I added a new one too... with pearls. Finally made something... the first thing in 2007.

Operation "outfit" a success

Yesterday, I made the treck back to Eugene to find an outfit to wear the bank's Christmas party, after coming home empty handed in last week's fiasco of a trip. I clocked 170 miles on the ol' Bonnevissle looking for it, and finally at 6:35pm it came together. (so much for getting home before dark) While it's still more casual that I was hoping for, it will do. I'll jazz it up with lots of bling bling jewelry :)

Mint Chocolate update....
I am SO LOVING the navigation thingy on my new phone. I just type in a store name, or any address and it searches it out and tells me how to get there, turn by turn. Yippee... no more driving by the exit I need and aPublishsking "should I have gotten off there?"

The 'girls' Christmas party for the bank was last week.... this is the sweet present that I got:

My nest

I'm so excited - I bought an abandoned bird's nest off ebay, from a sweet gal in Australia way back in May. I've been waiting for it forever and figured that customs must have stopped it because it's natural they have so many rules about stuff like that - well today it finally arrived!

And these cuties are the former tenants!

Here is the story....

• Built & abondoned by Australian Native Noisy Miners.
• Local materials include: outside: sticks & twigs (from conifers, plumbago, bougainvillea, tea tree), lining: Horse hair, Cow hair, Alpaca wool
• Measures approximately 130 x 70mm outside & 50 x 40mm inside
• These birds took about 2 weeks to build this nest. All 3 eggs that were laid hatched. It was only 2 weeks later that the little one's were old enough to leave the nest. They are now adults and have just built a nest of their own containing 3 eggs!

It's my 2nd real nest. I also have an abandoned hummingbird nest.
