Happy 600!

Thanks to everyone who follows or checks in on my blog. I really appreciate your support over the years!
I can't believe I've made it to 600.

From vintage, flowers, jewelry posts...

to posts about rocks and crystals...

plus all the fun food creations I've made or tasted...

and last but not least, posts about creativity (mine, friends, or famous artists) and celebrations

-- it's been a blast!

I'm looking forward to the next 600.

Smokey from Lake George

This beauty is 5" long, but with a crack where the base wants to fall off. Personally, I don't like using glue on rocks/crystals, so I used thread to hold it together.

My rockhounding partner that day shows off her awesome find of a mini microcline city with little sparkling quartz crystals throughout. I'd live there!

Thank You

So many beautiful and thoughtful gifts! Thank you.

my favorite - handmade cards!
