Hi all, hope you are doing well…I wanted to send out a “Thank you so much for your service” to all veterans out there…you are the best…
We are doing well here in Crazy Weather California…one day its warm the next day its wet & cold, wish it would make up its mind. We took our first Bikram Yoga class last weekend, it was fun, I survived the 90 minutes in 105 degree high humidity room, did about 85% of the 26 poses too…so proud, hubby did much better…came home & got sick right on cue, have bronchitis, which my Dr. Thought it was pneumonia at first, but got down graded…doing much better now…Thank goodness for drugs & breathing treatments…
New Beads: got a chance to list some new beads in my shop, more will come on Sat & Sun, including some yummy ornaments…

Jelveh, what a great selection of beads this week. Thanksgiving at our house will be at the beach with 5 of our grandchildren and a few friends. Probably 12-14 for dinner. We are so thankful for everything in our lives. God is good. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Thanks Sue, sounds like a lot of fun at the beach…have a great time…

I like all the details on the giveaway bead. It is a beautiful bead. Thanksgiving will be a quiet day for me, but I have much to be thankful for-food, clothing, shelter, etc. God has blessed me.
hi jelveh – LOVE the tree bead focal – beautiful!! here in canada we have already had our Thanksgiving – yours is so close to Hallowe'en & Christmas!! (nothing like celebrating everything at once!!)
Thanks Mary and Leslie…you are too kind…celebrating everything at once can be a bit overwhelming but also gets it all out of the way too…but I love the holidays, of all kinds, we celebrate everything in our house, from Hanukkah to the 4th of July & Christmas & Thanksgiving…any reason to get together & thankful for ones life is a good thing to me….hope you all have fun…
Hi Jelveh! What a gorgeous tree bead…how clever! Our Thanksgiving will be bitter sweet, as we lost 2 very loved members of our family recently, my father-in-law and my grandmother. We miss them tremendously, but will celebrate their lives by reminiscing about precious memories and laughing about good times we have shared. I hope your Thanksgiving is a wonderful one! :o) Keep up the beautiful work…I always love to see what you have made.

Hey Julie, sorry to hear of your loss, I never know what to say when someone passes, as we all feel grief in our own way, I hope you can find peace with this loss…
have a good thanksgiving and thanks so much for the kind words about my beads…

Thanks for mentioning veterans — I am one (four years in the USAF) and my husband retired with 26 years in and was in a lot of hot spots.
LOVE the beads.
Hey Lori, thanks so much for both of your service…I am a child of a retired colonel, an Army brat & I married an Army brat who's dad is a West Point grad, Army colonel, wounded & decorated Vietnam vet…
my grandpa on my mom's side was also a retired decorated Army colonel & my grandpa in-law is also a retired vet who served in WWII… I am always thankful to all who serve…you guys sure don't get enough thank yous…
