Being an American woman of Irish/German heritage and having two sons with my roots and their father's Hispanic roots, not a week goes by that one of them is belittled in some way or another. We are living in sad, perilous times. Thank you for making beautiful beads to give us some joy each day.

My "day job" is in technology and I couldn't help but think of Steve Jobs, one of the nonconforming minority no doubt.<br /><br />How about modifying your challenge to "A Season Without Flowers". I don't at all think it would be weak. It's still a creative challenge and one that is surely to produce something fantastic. My Laffy Taffy beads were waiting for me after a long week of business travel and I LOVE them!! I wish I had time to create something with them before getting back on an airplane tomorrow. <br />When I'm on the road, I tend to read your blogs via the e-mail update. I will try to find more opportunities to read it online so your hit count goes up. When you start seeing hits from peculiar places, it's me. :)<br />Enjoy your trip to Mexico! We'll be looking forward to hearing about it when you return.

I fell in love with them years ago & have some I bought when I met you at the Santa Fe Bead Fest in 2004. I can't bear to give them away but have not made anything with them either; I just take them out often to admire & enjoy just that I "have" them. Crazy I know. But...now that I have those & some other flower ones from later years, I think I already have enough flowers. I immediately fell in love with the Laughy Taffy ones & LOVE the ones I bought. So...I can't wait to see what your creative mind & hands come up with over the next year. Have fun in Mexico!PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848626942006325605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-7308659307826910932012-01-16T09:04:08.952-08:002012-01-16T09:04:08.952-08:00A chance to win a gorgeous Kim Miles creation!
