Bead & Jewelry Linky Love


I am extremely late with these links this week. My sincere apologies on this one - the whole family came down with a case of stomach flu towards the end of last week and it took us, collectively, a while to re-gather our wits. Erm, such as they are.

I'll pause to note that the above is a bracelet I made for my friend Ingrid a while back - it seemed appropriate for spring weather to show again here. On to the good stuff, now:

We had the stomach flu last week and it went through ALL 6 of us one at a time! It was absolutely terrible! Let's hope that's the end of it. Hope you all get back to normal soon.
