IT'S ALL ABOUT ME................


Well.....the above pic is not mine....it is from the wonderful Suzanne at Privet and Holly....BUT....I SO LOVE THE SIGNS!! not to mention that cute, cute baby... ok...onto the post....



This may not be very exciting to any of you.....but it is certainly exciting to me.

Today....while out to lunch with very dear friends...I had someone inquire about where I  bought my lovely necklace.  I said 
"I MADE IT" and....the best part is....it is out of recycled junk!! Her comment was "Do you have a web site...It is wonderful!!"  


The above piece is made from the top of a bag balm can, part of an old napkin ring, an old earring, an old jewelry clasp and some of my mom's old pearl's...with a few beads to top it off.  The best thing is it is ALL recycled stuff excluding the few beads I had to purchase at Joanne's.  

Needless to say...I was very flattered at a complete stranger's interest.

She asked for my card ...... 
Here is the pic on my card.....had to share this with you too!! (O:(O:




Tis' a good day.....


hugs,


Jo


p.s. Please disregard all the age spots on this old gal's neck....LOL LOL

    Jo, how great to be so complimented on your beautiful jewelry creation. And made of recycled stuff makes it even more precious.

    Age spots? I was too busy looking at this gorgeous necklace. Don't make me have to scroll back up and look at spots. lol
    Congrats on such a lovely compliment. Isn't life good when someone notices something that we have created.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend
    Love

    Nothing beats originality! And I'm sure those are freckles, not age spots. Just like mine!

    How wonderful that a person took the time to compliment someone. So many times we see something of beauty and we fail to thank the person for bringing that beauty into our lives. The necklace is gorgeous.

    OMG, I have to agree with Maggie. I'm not about to scroll back up either.
    Perhaps others see our talent and creativity when we are blind to it.
    L♥♥♥ve your creation, Jo.
    CONGRATS on the out-of=the-blue compliment.
    hugs

    WOW...what a lovely compliment but then, it is quite a magnificent necklace so I can understand why. You're so clever! Btw, I didn't notice age spots either.

    That doggy on your card is SO cute!

    Oh and I like the message in the first pic too ~ :)

    Age spots? Nothing there that I don't see in my own mirror! LOL The necklace is lovely. I'm not surprised it got noticed and admired. Congrats on the much deserved accolades. (Love your business card too!)

    Hi, I see you read Mouse's writings too!

    That is a well made necklace, and all the better for being "upcycled" materials too.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
