D is for Part Dos - y Deux

My 40th Birthday ~ Part Two

 

This is where I tell y'all that some of you people

must be big fans of wrinkles~

specifically of me crinkling up with more of them.

Crying and laughing make a face do that, ya know,

and now there are lines on my face

named Pat, Dawn, Melinda, and Courtney.

Creepy? 

That's what you get for sending me such awesome

and/or hilarious presents.

Thank you for making a milestone

even more special for me.

~~

Is this not the most precious thing you have ever seen!?

And he's TURQUOISE!

I am such a huge fan of  Pat Haight's clay work and feel

stupid blessed to now have 2 of her baby dragons

residing in my studio.  Her eye for detail is nothing

short of amazing, so be sure to click and enlarge

the photo.  And try not to be jealous, k?

~~

Did someone say TURQUOISE?

Looking at this pair of MINEGIMMETHAT! can you

believe that Dawn Ducette has only been creating

bead embroidery style jewelry for a few months?

I know, right!?  This is what is meant by the term

"She's a natural".

~~

Courtney Bruel sent me this adorable card~

and I have already admitted I'm too technotarded to figure out

how to record sound "up" into my laptop or you would be laughing

with me right now.  I've listened to it at least 40 times, and will

probably listen 40 more.

~~

As the title dictates I am still working my way through

the A to Z Blog Challenge, and Melinda Orr has just

made the experience so awesome

I'll probably have to do it again next year.

Remember way back on U, where my intended subject

was going to be Uplift?

Melinda and I exchanged some funny comments about it
and since she makes the most awesome stamped metal jewelry,

I might have jokingly suggested she make a cuff

out of that.

Never challenge an artist to create something

and then not expect her too.

I laugh every time I look at my hand.

What?

Did you think I wouldn't actually WEAR it?
