Birthday Celebrations!

I went over to Hope Town, a cay a few miles off the mainland of Abaco, to celebrate my good friend Janie's birthday.  Her birthday is not until next week, but today was a good day for everyone to get together.

This card above is a funny card she got.  Inside it said "Happy Birthday, your margarita will be ready shortly"!!!

I don't have to go far to find an animal to drag home........

This little fresh water turtle wasn't being cared for so he was delivered to me in a bucket.  Poor thing was so hungry that he ate half of my sandwich!!!.....not quite but he ate ALOT.

Look at the beautiful cake....too pretty to cut!!! Made by my other friend Kent, and boy was it ever YUMMY!!!  Carrot cake with cream cheese icing......mmmmmmmm!

I have gotten some work finished this week.......

This is called "Sea Glass Love".  It is a mixture of bezeled sea glass, my lampworked pieces, bezeled coral, silver chain and sterling silver wire work.

Those swirled wire links I learned to do from the book "Totally Twisted" by Kerry Bogert.

Anyone that does jewelry needs to check out this book and Kerry's blog.  Very inspirational work!

Have a great weekend!
