so… this is going to be a short “week”… in that we went on a long weekend vacation starting on Friday, and I want to include all the vacation pics in the same weekly post. It just seems to make more sense to me….

The week prior to going on vacation was a mix of anxiety… stress… anticipation… and hope. I was very anxious to go, but also had some reservations about leaving for several days. I know, odd. And I can’t explain it. I desperately wanted to go…. and yet, was concerned about leaving. Go figure. The upshot, was that everything was fine…. the anxiety was unnecessary and unfounded…. and we had an awesome time.

I had also hoped to get all the projects that were unfinished, finished….. and that didn’t happen either, as I still have pieces for a couple friends sitting on my bench. But alas. All is ok. Or rather, it is what it is. I did get all the PRIDE inspired pieces of jewelry listed in my Etsy shop. There is (currently) a TON of beads and such all over my bench awaiting ‘playtime’…. and there will be lots of fun items (I hope) coming soon….
