long time, no post

well, it's been awhile since I posted because our life has changed dramatically in the last month or so.  My daughter and her son have moved back to California, YAH!!.  It's been quite the whirlwind of activity.  Aidan is staying with us for now, while his mommy looks for a new job and gets settled in.  He is a real delight, full of giggles and mischief. 

As I have been focusing on family matters there hasn't been much time to torch or craft jewelry.  I did get the little guy to "string" some beads, but he didn't seem to be interested in sticking to any particular design plan LOL.
