Yummy New Purchases

Okay. Two weeks and they're finally here. What's here, you wonder. MY BEADS! My lovely, lovely eye candy...soon to be little treasures to adorn yourself with!



I felt the need for experimenting...so this is what I picked out. I'm not sure where they're all going to end up, but it's been fun coming up with ideas while I waited for these pretties to show up in my mailbox.

The boy thinks I'm crazy, I'm sure. Whenever a package arrives here for me, he hands it to me with this little half-smile, as I take it gingerly from him....because he knows that inside I'm jumping up and down like a 5-year old.

Yep. That's how it is. I'm not much for shopping, not really a girly girl who gets excited about purses or shoes....but show me a crazy selection of beads or craft supplies and you've won me over :)

Which reminds me - The Boy's Grandma gave me some blocks of polymer clay and some little cutting tools for Christmas (they were on my Xmas list, along with Ani DiFranco's poetry book - very lovely) and I don't think she expected my excited reaction. CRAFTS! Who wouldn't love to receive those things?

So yeah, Experimentation 101 is on my To Do list. Maybe not tonight though. I'm beat. I spent the day cleaning rabbit cages, catching up on taped TV shows (I'm addicted to Design Inc. and House Hunter's lately...anyone else?) and cleaning up the kitchen to the point of being completely anal about what went where on the counters and above the cupboards. Then I made a supper of chicken wraps and iced tea (yes, that is more of a lunch thing, but The Boy didn't mind!)

And most of the time today, I was listing to my new music player that The Boy got me for Christmas. I don't actually know what the brand of it is...I'm never about the brands....Hmm, let's see. It's an MPIO 1GB MP3 Player in Green. (Lime green actually!) Anyway, I did most of this while listening to some old school Our Lady Peace and my Ani DiFranco 'favourites' ...all in all, not a bad day. Especially considering I've been really ill lately.

Well...I'm off to list something on Etsy. I listed this earlier -- go have a peek!
