Hi all!  Spring is almost over here, and school is almost out.  I am really looking forward to having the kids home for the summer, even though it means less time to work.  I have to admit, I don't like getting up at 6 a.m. to get the kids up for school, I do much better getting up about 7 a.m., so I am looking forward to that extra hour of sleep every morning.

My daughter Rachel just completed her first year of college and is moving into an apartment on Monday.  I can't believe how grown up she is!  Her first apartment!  She'll need lots of stuff, I hope to be able to help her with some of it...

Ginny "graduates" Kindergarten next Friday, and NEXT year, Chelsea will graduate high school.  Chelsea attended her first prom last weekend.  Look how beautiful she is!  :)

Of course, I am a proud Momma!!!!

OK, folks, there is new stuff listed in What's New!  I just listed three new large hole beads, a sweet fishy pair, and two LARGE fishes, ideal for pendants.  Take a looksie!

Oh yeah, there are still LOTS of fantastic goodies ~ some NEW some not-so-new ~ up on Just Beads and lots of beautiful 99 cent lampwork accent beads on ebay!  I just know you're not gonna wanna miss a thing!  :)

Hugs!!!  ~Debby

Hi all!  I hope you are doing well and not suffering too terribly with these horrid gas prices!  Stay home!  Don't go anywhere!  Do your shopping on the internet!  ;)  Seriously, though, have you changed your summer vacation plans?  We have.  We were planning to go to Colorado this summer, but we've decided to stay closer to home.  We might spend our vacation in Hot Springs, instead.  It's a shame, but I refuse to let the oil companies get any more of my hard earned money than what is absolutely necessary.  It's the principle of the thing, you know?

Anyway, today was my youngest child's birthday.  Ginny turned SIX!  Can you believe it?  Seems like the time has passed just too quickly.  She'll always be "my baby" but there is no "baby" left, she is all little girl now, and growing up way too fast.  SIGH!

We had a nice dinner at home, Tim grilled some baby back ribs, and we had cake and ice cream.  While Ginny was at school, we brought some cupcakes to the class for them to celebrate with her.  All the kids loved it!

Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but I am the FEATURED ARTIST OF THE MONTH on www.justbeads.com this month.  I am really honored and really excited to have been chosen.  I plan to list several exciting new beads this month to celebrate.  I've already gotten started ~ there is already sooooo many really great beads to see there!  Be sure to check them all out!  Woo~hoo!

I've also just listed several new floral pairs, fishy pairs and some dynamite sculptural flower bead necklaces on the What's New page.  I've been really pleased with the quality of my work lately and I hope you are, too!  :)  Take care!

Hugs!!!  ~Debby

Hi all!  The show in Memphis went great, but I got home in time to develop a killer toothache.  I lost about 5 hours of sleep last night as a result.  I already had a dentist appt. scheduled for Thursday this week, but when I called, they were so booked up they could not move it forward.  So, in the meantime, I'm one hurtin' puppy.  I'm eating Ibuprofen like candy, and I've been applying oil of cloves to the tooth, which really doesn't help much...  Oh well.  Just trying to keep my mind off it by working.

Look for some new beadsets up on Just Beads today!  :)

Hugs!!! ~Debby
