I Heart Glass

I really do.  I love everything about it.  I love color, too.  So, colored glass makes me swoon.

And right now I miss melting colored glass. 

Cooler weather, where art thou?

Yep. It's time.

My muse hasn't made an appearance in quite awhile.  I think she melts in temperatures above 99 105 110 degrees.  Or in humidity in a place that is supposedly a DRY HEAT. 

Phooey.

But - it's time.  On Monday I shall light up Blaze.  (That's my trusty torch for those that are new to the BuckleBottom gang.)  Bring on the fire!  Bring on the glass!  And, God willing, bring on some good rain or something to make the heat a TOUCH more bearable!  We'll see - but.... I. WILL. TORCH.

Probably in my bathingsuit.

Probably after a dip in the pool.

Probably only for about 5 minutes.....

....until I have to jump in the pool again.

But I will make a bead.  Maybe two.

Pray for me. :)

As school begins (yes, already!), I decided to reflect upon the things that will forever remind me of The Summer of Twenty-Eleven.  :)  Okay....maybe not forever, but definitely some stuff that has consumed some days and nights of this heat-riddled couple of months.  There is much, much more.....but I'll stick with the top 10.

1)  Harry Potter marathon with da hubby.  (Still haven't seen the very last one, but....ooooh, can't wait! )

 

2)  Baking yummy stuff.  (Who knew?!?)

3)  Deliciously Deceptive by Jessica Seinfeld (with more recipes to try).

4)  Heaven Is For Real! (OH YES IT IS!)

 

5)  NOOM Weight Loss application for Droid (and all that came...or "went"....with it).  YEAH!

 

6)  EARLY morning walks with neighbor ladies (see above for WHY).

7)  McDonald's Iced Coffee (to get by after the above two items).

 

8)  Selena Gomez. All day. Every day. (Radio Disney, Ramona and Beezus, CanonBear's girlfriend....)

  

9)  Netflix instant streaming.  Need. I. Say. More.

10)  Heaven on Earth.

THE END

As Summer Ends

I can't believe  this summer is almost over - as far as freedom, vacations, long days go.  (Our heat will last FOR-EH-VAH!)  My Bubbas starts school a week from Monday.  Yikes. 

We traveled to the northwest a couple weeks ago and ended up in our usual spot....the beautiful beach above.  I don't think I will ever get tired of going there.  Peaceful.  Heavenly.  Comforting.  COOL.  I love that we get out of the sweltering heat of Arizona, even if we do miss a few of the monsoons that roll through.  I do love me some rain on the desert.  But not the HABOOB that occassionally comes with it! LOL! 

The beads and jewelry will come.  I'm slowing starting to work my way back into it.  I guess I needed a break.  I've lost my "edge," however, so I'm not sure how fast I will be able to get stuff put together for the website.  Stay tuned. 

Potential sale on the horizon, as well.

Adios for now!

Quiet

It's quiet around here.  Just the kids giggling and bein'...kids.  I love it.  But that means I don't have a ton to say to you!

My anniversary is comin' up this Sunday.  Twelve years.  Love this man.  However, it's been THIRTEEN years since I looked like THIS:

 That's okay.  We don't have to look like that.  We just have to love like that.

And we do.

Peace out.

Last Day for Summer Daze Sale!

Get 'em while they're HOT!

I will continue to keep some things on sale throughout the summer....but not all!  Since custom orders and new items will be limited for the next few months, you definitely don't want to miss the opportunity to grab these goodies at such great prices!

Happy Summer!

SUMMMMMER!!!!!

Summer is in full swing!  It's definitely a love/hate relationship......  It's HOT.  My kids get BORED.  I can't TORCH.

BUT.  We get to go to the BEACH!  I have time to spend with my KIDDOS.  There is a LAZINESS about life that I just love.

So, it will remain quiet here for awhile, at least on the bead front.  I'll letcha know how the BEACH goes....cuz that's comin' up soon!!  WHOO HOO!! :P

Happy Summer!
