Tomorrow's going to be a fun-filled day. My family is coming up to LA from San Diego to play! We'll be doing archery and strolling around a park and eating yummy foods and going to Renegade Fair in Downtown LA. The kids are excited and so am I.

We're celebrating our Dad's birthday tomorrow. We pitched in to get him a techy gift. Then I thought since I didn't really get my mom a gift-gift for her recent birthday, I should play it fair.

So I went to my local Bead Studio to pick up a couple of gems to make this glimmery necklace for my Mom. We have a wedding to go to in a few months, and she's been complaining about not have the wears and the wares, so I thought maybe this would be something she'd want for a little bling. The pink stones are mystic pink topazes. I love those them, they're super glittery. The smaller stones are labradorite, clear & lemon quartz, and garnet. There's also white pearls along the chain.

Think she'll like it?

And there's another little pom-pom for decorating the box. Pom-poms, you're so versatile!

Oh, and Bobo says hi.
