Family Time, Winner ANNOUNCED, Gimme Kiss (finished), an AMAZING Gift from Someone Special and Celbration of Women Gift Guide!

What did YOU do this weekend?  Me? Well, lots of family time, a little beading and some cleaning…but the big thing was this MULTI-DAY family game of Monopoly! I have to brag that I ended up being the BIG winner…but let me tell you that I normally am the first one out! I was so lucky in this game though!! Here is the end….happy mamma!! 🙂

And I know that many of YOU have asked me who one…well, I wanted to wait until today to announce it… so….drum roll….the winner is Maribeth Stivers!!  She has been notified and now has 48 hours to respond to claim her prize.  I have also awarded a surprise gift to Ms. Eugine Wu…she had the most entries and has always entered every giveaway with as many entries as she can!! THANK YOU for being a great supporter…watch for your surprise in the mail!! 🙂

Now, how many of you watched me finish with this one on Friday? Did you see it finished? Here it is…

I also listed something Saturday…I really wasn’t sure I wanted to, but I did.  I told someone over the weekend that I am in the Jewelry SELLING business not the Jewelry KEEPING business (no matter how much I want to keep them all).  But this pair of earrings really caught my eye, but I knew they would catch someone else’s too.  So, I listed them and watched as MANY of you commented that you loved them and several even said that they’d get them…so I wasn’t really surprised when they sold.  What surprised me was who they were getting delivered to!!!  Ms. Lynn not only purchased them, but she bought them for ME!!  Yes, you heard right! She wanted me to keep them…and I have to say that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me! I have known Ms. Lynn for a few years and she is an avid follower/friend and customer! All I can say is that I will wear them, remember her amazing gift and strive to ‘pay if forward’ as much as I can (even in small ways)! THANK YOU Ms. LYNN!!   P.S. My daughter says she’ll ‘help’ me wear them too!! 🙂

That is hard to follow, so I think I will just show off my new creation for today…this one would be perfect for the Easter holiday or just about any other day in the spring or summer!

I get to start a new creation today…I have a LOT of plans for this great stone…it’s called Dragon Vein!! Remember that you can check out my Facebook Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page throughout the day to watch updates and working photos.

Tomorrow I get to show off an amazing Candle/gift I received and later in the week I’ll show you the amazing apron I purchased!  But for now it is time for YOU to get in on this GIFT GUIDE!  There is FREE statement about WHO inspired YOU and the ads only start at $5, grab them up!!

Today I would like to leave you with this thought….

Let your dreams carry you higher!
