Good Morning! Yep, I am still alive and kicking. Had some family biz to attend to. Plus it is spring here in the desert and it is hard to stay in the studio when it is so glorious outside. I have been doing the yearly pond cleaning. What a job!!! The lily bulbs have gotten HUGE! Hubby and I both had to use some fish gaffers to pull them out of the water.  Hubbys says one batch of the water lilies must of weighed 300 pounds!!! Whoa!!!! I culled out about 80 Koi babies and will trade them at the pet store or sell them on Craigs list. 
 
The cacti in the garden are getting ready to do some serious flowering here shortly. I see the flower buds starting to swell. All the fruit tree's have their flowers right now and the bee's are really busy visiting.
 
Check out this little lizard. You know it is spring here when these little guys start scurrying about. This one was a real poser for me!
 
A close up of the nectarine flowers, what a yummy pink color!
 
I do have some more Easter beads made up. Promise to get them up later this week.
 
Talk soon bead-heads!!

 A quote for a wacky beadmaker to live by................................
 I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.     By Dr. Suess

Did you see this blurb in Beadwork's latest magazine about a bead documentary?
 
THE EPIC BEAD
Never before has the 75,000 year old story of the bead been so fascinating or so skillfully told.  Produced by award-winning film editor and producer Diana Friedberg. "The World on a String" is a five-episode documentary series that details the history, culture, tradition, and religion of the bead. From the stories of tribal chiefs to those of priests, the diverse footage is shot on location in five continents. Visit www.worldonastringmovie.com

Hey all!
So here we are in 2009. I'm glad to change to another year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the economy starts to pick up for everyone this year!!! Out with the old and in with the new I say!!
 
Words of Wisdom for 2009
If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep.
The smallest deed is better than the grandest intention.
One thing you can give and still keep is - your word.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
We lie the loudest when we lie to ourselves.
The best vitamin for making friends.......B1.
The heaviest thing to carry is a grudge.
Don't learn safety rules by accident.
Jumping to conclusions can be bad exercise.
 
Have you recently got a new cell phone or have a old one laying around? I just read that we replace 130 million cell phones a year!!!!! Instead of sticking that phone in a drawer or throwing it away, go visit this site, www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com A teenage brother and sister started this program. Cell Phones for Soldiers collects the discarded phones and partners with various companies to provide prepaid calling cards to soldiers in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
 
We had snow here in Las Vegas! It was pretty unreal!!!! All the palm tree's and cactus were covered. It only lasted a few days, but that was OK with me. Here is a pic from the famous Las Vegas Strip when it was snowing with tourists posing :0)
Here is a few pics from our cacti gardens.
I love this view from our house. It was really crispy and clear that day.
I will be posting new beads today or tomorrow. I have some Cacti, Coffee & Donuts and some Valentine Cupcakes.
 
Be talking soon!
Deb
