Nancy: Sorry Pricilla: I had to remove your link because the images are a bit racy and my daughter visits my site....Nothing personal. ~Nan

Nan: Hi Betty: I think I answered your question about dichro by correspondence.. if that wasn't you email me and I'll explain. ~Nan

Betty: I ,too, moved from the city to rural and did not bring the bright lights - I like dark at night. Can turn them on or off. Do dichroic, chains, beading, faceting, PMC. How do you do dichroic by correspondance?

ANNE: I AM SEARCHED FOR A CABLE TYPE STEEL NECKLACE WITH A MAGNETIC CLASP. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? THANK YOU

Nancy: Hey Beth: Don't worry, I cry at commericals some times... LOL

Beth: I don't know what possessed me to write this as I never write to people I don't know, but I have just ordered a dragon's tears bracelet and can't wait to get it. Hopefully it will bring me some good luck & magic in 2006. For some odd ball reason I started reading your journal and got to the pictures of your new puppy and the Northern Lights. How breathtaking they must be in person. It actually brought tears to my eyes, but then I am a little overly sensitive these days as my husband & I were

Jean L.: Nancy, Recieved lavender pendants/earrings today..just in time for Christmas! Thanks for the extras! (0:

Nan: The mud wasn't too bad this year but the rain! Sheesh.. I think it rained for 30+ days straight. The sun is shining now though so I won't complain. Winter is Lonnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg but I love the fire place so we deal. It did get old in late Feb/early March. Now it's black fly season.... joy of joys.... ah well.. it's not a home it's an adventure Nan

Becky: Enjoyed your journal. Reminds me of when we lived in Maine, '78-'89. You like the same things about Maine I do. My husband and I have been doing Atkins for 3 years now. He's better at it than I am. But, basically, we think it's a pretty healthy way to eat, so long as you don't go extreme for very long. You have beautiful jewelry. How do you like the mud/spring season this year?

Kandice: Beautiful journal!! I love all the pictures. :)

A Sparks: Thanks, Nan, for the pictures. Skippy is a handsome dude, and I expect he knows it. The Northern Lights are awesome. But cold.

PieLTang: So sorry to learn that Greg had an accident almost broke his finger by a log, but it surely is extremely painful, hope the doctor gave him some medicines to ease the pain, I pray that he is going to get better soon.Good Luck with your shows at Seattle and San Francisco.Love to all, Mom

hkmouse: Hi! I seem to have found your blog. I have no idea how you function in a Maine winter. Orange county, California is as far north as I ever want to live!

Arianna: I like the part about your cats tail catching on fire!

Nancy: A Tag board is a place to leave a quick note... say hi... etc.. you can also post replies to the journal entries.....

Hello and happy spring

Location: the still frozen north.....

First to those who keep attempting to fill my journal with spam - it ain't gonna happen! I review the posts before the are made public and I simply delete yours. Why waste your time and mine?

On to other things......

March was a very busy month as we have 2 wholesale shows back to back on 2 consecutive weekends. We were only home for 2 days in between. Really throws me off schedule with everything!! One show was in Portland (Maine) and one in Boston.

It's spring but you can't tell it by looking out the window here! We had about 14 inches of snow the other night and I hear we may have a bit more. I have visions of herb sprouts dancing in my head.

2 new critters joined out happy family the other day - we now have a pair of toulouse (sp?) geese. Very pretty creatures. Their owner has another pair and they just didn't get along so we've giving them refuge. WOW geese eggs are HUGE! Maybe we'll have some baby geese this spring. I'll get some pics of the pair as soon as I can and post them here.

I guess the Easter Bunny will have to borrow Santa's sled to deliver all those baskets.....

I added the 'Launch Greg to Sea' story to the site.... I thought it was quiet amusing. I have had at least one person tell me they found it offensive but several others have actually donated to the 'launch Greg' fund. Life is too short not to be able to laugh at yourself. Maybe it is in poor taste.....oh well.....won't be the first time I've danced with a lamp shade on my head......probably not the last either...... LOL

It is impossible to please everybody. Here are a few things I try to live by.. not always successfully...

.... 'do as you please as long as you harm none'....'laugh at yourself'.....'let things go'......

Anywho, have a glorious day,
~Nan
