I don't think I've ever complained on my blog before, but I just can't stand this problem anymore and I want to know what you do if this is happening to you also. Are you around someone a lot who is ALWAYS texting, using their iPhone, Blackberry, etc.? I am and it is driving me CRAZY!!! Am I the only one with this dilemma? I would LOVE to hear from others with this same problem! Thanks and sorry to complain :)

After a leisurely walk to get ice cream with my family in some gorgeous Southern California sunny weather (in the 70's!), I was able to make some jewelry today! These pieces look so much better in person! Sometimes I sit down with my beads with the best intentions of making a piece or two and I just can't get a combination that I like. That did not happen today though! It all just 'clicked'! I know that most of you can definitely relate to what I'm talking about :) BTW, these pieces are not meant to match by any means. They are two completely different combinations of beads.

Believe it or not, I am finally posting some new art! Now that things are back to their normal groove here after the holidays, I have a little bit of art time :) These are Zetti Hanging ATCs that I made for a swap. I LOVE hearts and red, so I LOVE Valentine's Day!
