Bought these rings from Lucas Jack, sterling silver, faceted glass in great colours .... peridot, amethyst, baltic and black .... they look great, chunky but no too big, have put them on my website.

Had a good week, got lots done, Tom's birthday tomorrow so we are going to the Inn at Wray for dinner tonight and hopefully off for a walk/picnic tomorrow if the weather is good ...............

Happy Birthday to my youngest daughter ........... teenager today! Because of the weird Easter set up she has had to go to school for the first time on her birthday ..... not happy!

Helped at the parents Coffee Morning over the weekend which was a great success, they raised a lot of money for Cenacolo (will expain that one day! or you could google it). Saw a friend on Sunday and caught up ...............

Did another good run yesterday ......... got my shopping done and last minute birthday bits .... helium balloon included. Couldn't get one with 13 on though which was disappointing.

Doing more website work today ......... tax stuff ..... taking Ann shopping .... normal Tuesday stuff ......... really want to see Son of Rambow and Mama Mia, must organise it. Watched Little Miss Sunshine on DVD which was very entertaining, directed by Jonathan Dayton ......... dysfunctional family on a journey together in a VW van which is falling apart like their family relationship but all comes good in the end ........... funny film.

Filling out a 7 day Epic food diary for Institute of Cancer ....... have to record every morsel which passes my lips! Hadn't realised how many sweets/chocs just pop into my mouth on a daily basis!

Off to get a coffee now ............. and some fudge!

A few images of my bead ranges ...... found some great unusual beads that I had to have and actually made soemthing with them. I have a horde of beads and stones that I buy and never use ... they are so pretty and shiny that I have to buy them but then I never get the inspiration to use them. Thank goodness this time I did. I also met a great lady called Andrea McKinnon who make glass beads which are fantastic. The colours and designs are great ..... different from pieces I have seen before, I have just made a pendant with one ....... I tried to design something around it but its so great on its own that it doesn't need anything else.

Its husband's birthday on Saturday so am arranging a small soiree of friends for a drink ........ will be nice for the Easter weekend.

No great plans over the weekend, the weather forecast is bad, but will get up to no good over the 2 weeks holiday anyway with the girls.
