We're back from a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. Yesterday, we picked up the bead and jewelry inventory from our Bonita Bead Boutique trunk show and today will be a day of playing with fire in the studio. I can hardly wait. My mind is full of new ideas resulting from visits to a couple of art museums and a botanical garden. I want to make a few more beads for Kathy and my Bead and Button project plus play around with my new ideas. I'll also lay out all of my trays of beads and jewelry on the dining room table and start to do my end of the year check to see where I need to fill in. It should be a good day! I hope that yours is a good one, too.
