Hey Everyone,
A good friend told me that I had to remember that I had friends here on DA that miss me. 
It was a gentle reminder but a kick in the head all the same.
Work has been hectic as I have been pulling 16 hour work days. I know...crazy. But we are understaffed and those we do have...have to pull some extra weight.
But enough of my sob story and to the point of why I am writing to you guys.
I have not given up on my jewelry.
In fact, I am creating a wedding set for a coworker!!! I am so excited as this is the best I have ever done. 
I want to share my work in progress with you because I am that excited. Laurens Wedding Set Now, its a work in progress because the clasp broke and I am searching for a replacement and also because of the pearl pendants. I need to file down some of the metal. But other than that...what do you think? 
Other than this work in progress...I have found a general group to make my jewelry for. Yep...my residents. I have made several pieces for my favorite residents. I will share them as I upload them.
Anyway, I have missed you all.
Leave me a message letting me know how you are doing! 
Tootles for now Guys. 

Hey Everyone,
Its been a long time since I have made my presence known here...huh?
The reason for this is, is that I am working full time with little time to doing anything else. Am I still making jewelry? When I can. Now that I have the funds to actually support it, I have found that other things are taking priority. I guess that comes with adulthood. 
I do want to say that I miss you all, especially a certain number of you who I really did connect with. I hope your lives are going well and that nothing but good tidings go your way. I will be honest, I am thinking of closing down my account, just because I'm not on it anymore. Thinking about it. Just thinking. 
Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful day.  
Tootles for now!

Just to let you all know, I had a wonderful friend work his magic infused hands to get my computer up and running. So not only did I not lose any of my photos, but now I have two computers! (I ended up buying one for cheap). 

I am sorry its been so long since I have updated but there is a reason for that. Work has been taking precidence and I am proud to say that I am a kickbutt CNA. I have been making jewelry here and there on my days off but with no computer at the moment...I've no way to show them to you. The comfort in that is that they are not big pieces. I am saving those, such as the ideas I have for the new characters introduced in Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, for when I get my computer and can get your imput.

I miss all of you and am going through my messages and gallery notices now to see what all of you have been doing. Saw some really cool and glamorous things so far!

Tootles for now!

But first...some bad.

My computer up and had a heart attack and died. Really. Just like that. Dead. Want to know why that was bad? Besides losing all my music and documents...I also lost over 60gb of photos. One folder which was very important to me, it documented this last year in pictures, was over 16gb and had over 1100 photos in it.

Want the somewhat good news? My dad thinks he can swap the hard drive into a newer computer so that I can at least try and retrieve all that is on there. But that is still somewhat in the future. Until then...I am trying to not cry every time I remember something that is on there.

Now...the good.

WE GET TO MOVE INTO A HOUSE TOMORROW! FINALLY...AFTER THREE MONTHS OF CAMPING...A HOUSE!

Also...I am finally working as a CNA at a Rehab Center. This girl is excited as her first day is Tuesday. I am also working as a Teachers Aid in the local highschool so my days are finally busy and worthwhile.

I wanted to say thank you to those of you who prayed for me and my family and or just kept us in your thoughts. For awhile there it seemed gloomy, but to those people who sent me notes telling me to hang in there...Thank you so much. You will never know what your encouragement has done for me.

I will try and keep in touch...stay safe and most of all, have a wonderful weekend.

Tootles!
