NON BEAD RELATED:

Children have an interesting sense of "fair". I wonder if it's innate or learned.

Example: This past weekend, Monica (10) was at hockey tryouts, and while her brother was on the ice, she was hanging with a former teammate, Danica (11). Dan got hiccups, so they went off to the snack bar to have her swallow a teaspoon of sugar (one of many home remedies for hiccups). In trying to help, Monica grabbed and opened a packet of sugar and Danica opened wide. Blech! Monica, not knowing any better, had grabbed a pink packet… saccharine! Danica quickly washed the horrid taste down with some water.

Now here's the interesting part. This was obviously an accident… but when the girls came back from the snack bar and explained to us what happened, Danica followed up with, "So I made Monica eat one of those pink packets too."

I find this odd… but to the girls, it seemed the only fair thing to do.

BEAD RELATED:

Sold "Ferocious" on a BIN (thank goodness… too many days without real jewelry sales gets me depressed and freaked out).

The Volcano Swarovski bracelet that I don't like has a ton of watchers (and a bid)… and the blue and yellow necklace that I adore hasn't got one single watcher. Did I already use the word "bizarre" today?

The kids will go to their dad's for dinner tonight so even though I'm probably working late at the office, I'm sure I'll find time to make SOMETHING tonight. No idea what, but that's no surprise.

Have my August Creativity Challenge all plotted out, but it will be a real PITA to make. Ah well, if I succeed, I'll feel like an artist. :-) I'm thinking of taking pictures of the process… so that just in case it DOES come out, I'll have an article in the wings for whenever I need one.

Oh, have to remember to send an email to that magazine that wanted pictures of PC projects… will show them Hakone Sunset… they sounded desperate enough. Ha!
