An explanation for my absence from blogging?!?!?!??!

It appears that Life happens and the days fly by when they are filled with lots of new and interesting stuff.  In the last few months I have gotten a new Apple MacBookPro which I absolutely love now and I wonder why I did not change sooner.  But in the first month it was more of a LOVE - HATE relationship trying to learn new technology and the ways of APPLE.  Then to make it even more interesting I also got a new iPhone (after using a Blackberry for years) since Verizon finally got the iPhone and suddenly I was in technology H_ _ _ feel free to fill in the blanks.  After 25 years or more of using a PC it was quite the change and learning all the new programs has been very interesting, especially my new advanced photo software Aperture.  My sweet husband bought One to One for me so that I can go to the Apple Store and get training which has been so amazingly helpful and so I have been spending countless hours learning, here, there and of course at the Apple store.  I am still enjoying my Friday 3 1/2 hour class at Kendall and have been working on a new jewelry collection.......The Matte Collection.......all the pieces are a matte finish......I need to take some pictures and my next post should be a preview of the collection.

Happy EASTER all!

A cruel joke from Mother Nature!

Hailing from sunny Florida I have often wondered where I went wrong that I ended up in this place called Michigan.......Oh yeah I think it's called a husband.  So I woke up on 4.18.2011 walked into my den and looked outside and what to my surprise did I find?  Mother Nature had played a cruel trick on me and there was snow.......actually 3 inches during the night and then 2 more in the morning and by the time it was done we had gotten 5 inches.......that's just not right this time of year and I was not happy.  My poor little daffodils were hanging their little heads and were unhappy as well.  I don't know where Spring is hiding this year but it ain't here.......

New Gift Wrapping!

Since I like to change things every now and then to keep them fresh and interesting I decided to go from brown boxes with either lime green ribbon or orange ribbon to something a bit more subdued and elegant.  I found some beautiful aqua ribbon that had fleur-de-lis all over it and some aqua and brown 2 sided ribbon with a stitched edge to which I add a smaller brown ribbon.  I made some little accent tags with fleur-de-lis and voila........new packaging.
