We are busy making final plans for the party this Saturday at Jayne's from 5-7 p.m. (not 4-6 as we originally planned). Kathleen, Lynn, Ami & Amy have been hard at work designing beautiful things that they hope you will love.

Kathleen has some very cool silver pieces she created from scratch using precious metal clay; Lynn designed some gorgeous new jewelry especially for little girls along with some other beautifully intricate pieces for grown up princesses; Ami threw lots of color in her magnificent beading arrangements--some complicated, some simple, all gorgeous; and Amy has designed some very hip hair accessories as well as some stylish bracelets amongst other things.

Come and see what they've been working on if for no other reason but that you love beauty and art!

Ami is steadily working on the website creation and reported that her son Caleb has been sleeping for the night for three weeks. "I actually have a pulse in the morning," she said.

Lynn replied, "When you can dance around to 'Proud Mary' in the morning, then you know you're really doing well."

So, Sleep and "Proud Mary" have helped the website's launch move steadily closer. Be patient...it is coming!

And Lynn had an odd but inspiring dream: She was working on 12 necklaces in her three-graces design made from black 4 mm crystals and silver seed beads (though she thought in her dream that gold would look better). Off to the side, sort of in the dark, was a Marlon Brando as Godfather look-alike pacing while he smoked a cigar. Lynn kept working.

Then Marlon Brando barked, "What are you charging for those things?"

Without looking up, Lynn said, "Seventy-six dollars."

Brando stopped pacing, "You're a fool!"

Now Lynn looked up. "Why?"

"You should be charging $760."

Awake, Lynn's reflection was the following:

"Well, yeah, they'd have to be mafia to pay that much."

More from Lynn in email:

"I want to try and make the child's three graces. I was also (not for now) thinking of making one with tiny pearls. I love pearls and DIAMONDS. See, the crystals are just holding me over until I get the real McCoys."

In other news...

Kathleen and Lynn drove out to east Mesa to find a REAL Chicago hot dog just because.

Ami visited family in Texas and was really enjoying herself until she couldn't get her husband to answer his phone because forgot to plug it into his phone charger and he was sick in bed. She called Kathleen to make sure hubby was still alive and kicking. After a visit from the other husbands it was determined that he was just fine, but suffering from not eating well and missing his wife and son.

Amy has worked herself into a cold. Though, in spite of her sniffles, she still looks the epitome of polished style.

And I (Jayne) am still abstaining mostly from making jewelry so that I can do the other stuff for BJFY.

I did make a few pairs of very very simple earrings.

And then I stopped.


So, come to the party Saturday! Eat chocolate, play with jewelry, tell us what you think of our stuff and get free earrings! What else could you possibly want? (Well...a lot probably, but this is what we can offer.)
