I knew there was a reason I had my children when I was young. There's no way I would have kept up with them if I'd waited until I was older. Grandchildren are wonderful but I sure am glad their parents are here to take care of them! Granny is just too worn out to keep up with a toddler AND take care of a newborn. I did it when I was young but I'm glad those days are behind me!
One side trip on our visit was to a bead store. Now that's more my speed! I walked in swearing I wasn't going to spend much money. That resolution lasted about 5 minutes. 30 minutes and $100 later I walked out with some great new beads. I've been making Tree of Life pendants out of whatever I had on hand, which wasn't much. Now I have chips in Aqua Marine, yellow Citrine and pink Agate. I can't wait to get home to my wire and tools so I can put them together. I will have a nice selection for the shop this season when I'm finished.
Monday I should have a new PIF giveaway going for you. I still have to go through my stash, but I have a pretty good idea of what will be in it. Beaders will love it, I promise you.
I love beading and taking pictures of my work. Many lovely necklaces, bracelets, earrings and odd pieces will be posted here along with links to my favorite bead related sites. I may even stick in an odd hand crafted item from time to time because doing the same thing day after day gets boring! Have fun looking!

I'm sure your grandchildren are keeping you even more young!
Bead stores are torturous for us. I can't help but spend tons of money on beads as well!
Agree with you! I keep my 19 month old granddaughter every Monday ... love it! By the end of the day I am totally worn out!
