Hi - More new stuff!! I have more then just these few pieces, but it takes sooo long to upload pictures!! Will do more later.
In the mean time - does anyone know Russian?!?! Guam just negotiated a way for Russians to get in with no visa, it's great, we are getting lots of Russians. I only know basic introductions and greetings, so my translation is probably a bit off, at best.
Does this make sense?!

New Stuff!!!

I FINALLY got my Fire Mountain bead order - took a while so I took the day yesterday to turn out some new stuff! I made a lot of new stuff but it takes forever to upload the pictures!

I am loving this little fish guy! He's so cute and happy! This is my new favorite pendant.

This piece of seaglass is so pretty, I don't have many pieces that are this color blue. The shell is also hard to come by and the colors look nice together, I think anyway.

My latest venture! Seaglass Jewelry!

I've been collecting sea glass and shells for so long, I don't even remember starting. It's been piling up, I ran out of places to put it so now I am using it for a better purpose then a paper weight!
I'm trying to start my own little business, I think I've done all the nessessary steps, so please enjoy and if you like it, pass it on!

Introducing.........

Some other samples of what I have done!

Chuuk! Not Chuck....

One of the highlights of last year was traveling some of the islands here in Micronesia. Chuuk is known for it's diving. Every dive mag out there has at some point talked about Chuuk lagoon because of all the wrecks, there are wrecks from as far back as WW1. There are tankers, aircraft carriers, tanks and planes! All are coral incrusted, home to so many varieties of life it can't be listed and swarmed in fish. Sadly, I don't have pictures of that...sorry! 

Chuukiese kids, the little girls purple dress is very typical, I am pretty certain that her mom, sister and grandmother all have matching dress.

Great Ocean Road!

Hey, sorry for the delays in posting but...well.......no excuses, just plain don't have time.
But here are some highlights from Melbourne - which at this point was over a 6 months ago. I've been to Italy, Greece and Finland since then, but better late then never.
The city is marginally nice, the food is the best part. Melbourne is known for it's food and it's shopping! I asked TONS of people before coming and all of them said eat until you think you're going to die and shop until you drop! I've done the former and I'm not so much on the latter. Let me clarify, the shopping was great, it was way out of my price range.The one amazing thing that Melbourne has, is it's the gateway to the Great Ocean Road! I did a bus tour the other day and was blown away!
The 1st stop is Bell's Beach, which I was stoked about!! Anyone who has any knowledge of surfing knows it's one of the top surf spots in the world. It's also the home to the Rip Curl Pro. Of course, it was pretty well flat the day we went (shoulda been there over easter weekend!) it was still head high, some even over head, but for Bell's that's small stuff.

Next stop, the 12 Apostles, of which only 6 still stand. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves....

The BIRDS!! :) The bottom one, is actually a bird flying into me - me in my fear of birds, tried to duck and swat with my camera, while taking a picture - this is what happened! 

Bondi Beach

One of the most popular beaches in Sydney!!

Lifeguards!! :) Ladies, eat your heart out! :) 

Lovely, beach. Maxie, the one on the right, spent the AU winter, (our summer) in Destin FL, lifeguarding. How sweet is that?!    

Yep - I forgot....

For those of you who may be wondering, yes, I forgot my password to my other blogspot page. That one, whatever it was called, is now obsolete. This one should be far better anyway...I hope. I'm afraid I'm not really in the typing/writing mood, it's nearing 12am and thoughts are getting fuzzy. Lets stop before the silliness begins, shall we.  

Some parting pictures of Port Macquarie, AU, the best place on earth...so far.
