Finally. An update to the Bead Blog!

After such a prolonged absence, I have to wonder if anyone is still out there! I have been busy. Not with bead stuff, but doing web sites, writing articles, etc. I miss torching and will be back soon.

Here is a peek at one of the sites that I recently completed: Southcare Animal Medical Center. Still a work-in-progress, like all web sites! (this one included) I also updated this site's blog and working on some new design ideas on the site to freshen things up.

In the meantime, I have updated my Etsy store with some new graphics and will be removing all current inventory or moving some to the sale section to make way for some fresh new listings.

I also took a family trip to the Grand Canyon. This was our first visit ever, and we hit some great weather for late March/early April! Here are some photos I took while hiking.







And of course, spending lots of time with the pets! Dog, cats and s!
