Happy 4th

Happy Fourth of July!

God Bless America!

Coming along

No pictures to show today, however, I've worked on the new pieces and they're almost ready to go into the tumbler. Plan on doing that today.
I've been working with Argentium~~~I love that stuff. Fusing is big on my list and it fuses beautifully.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention--I ordered some gel liver of sulfur and it was delivered yesterday. I'm all excited about trying it. That's on my list of things to do today too.
Well, off to work for me.

Oh, my achin' back

I've been down with my back out for a few days now. Starting to feel sorry for myself. I'm going to attempt to move around more today and maybe get into my studio and make some pieces that I've been thinking about while not moving and laying on a heating pad.

If I make any progress I'll post it later tonight.

Bluegrass Etsy Street Team

As you can see by the tag over there->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->
I've been invited to join the Bluegrass Etsy Street Team.
What a wonderful opportunity for me. I met some of the ladies at the Art Faire here in Shelbyville and have to say how nice they are. They're so helpful and Libby from Auroras Garden blog is helping me make my Etsy shop more of a draw. Come check out all of our shops over at Etsy. You won't be sorry.

One More Blog about Illinois

This is my B.F.F. in Illinois.

This is B.F.F. with her two girls.
What in the world are we doing, you ask?????
We're trying to figure out who has the biggest mouth.
I think B.F.F. wins. What do you think?

We don't really look like that all the time. Here are her lovely daughters, Amanda and Mindy.

Amy and I have our more subdued moments when we don't look so goofy.

Our quick trip

Our trip took us to Illinois where we got to see hubby's dad and son. Also, got together with some good friends. While hubby and his dad went to downtown Chicago to visit some friends I went shopping.

This is in Long Grove,IL

It's filled with quaint little shops and restaurants.

I bought some cool stuff like chocolate wine and chocolate covered strawberries. Also, the country store has a soup mix that's sooooo good. We've been buying it there for years so when we can get there we stock up.
It was a really fun trip.
