Mother's Day

I LOVE this day.  It reminds me of why I was put on this earth 

and what my one true purpose has always been....

their happiness.

Enough said.

We spent the day together, enjoying the beautiful landscape we call home.

So on this beautiful day, I celebrate being a mother and all the joys and heartaches it brings, 

but what I really celebrate is them. 

Thanks to all of you for your warm, lovely thoughts and comments on my Bead Soup creations.  I'm still making the rounds on every blog...it's always a long journey for me, but I sure do enjoy it!

 

New beads in the shop today...

 

I love a bead with texture and couldn't resist 

springs soft blues with a pop of orange.
