Thanks,Leasa!

If you hunt about Reader's Showcase you'll see more of my pieces. "Partly Sunny" was the first piece I posted. I know I should cave in and ask for a digital camera for Christmas, but I'm a horrible snob where photography is concerned. I've been a "professional amateur" for years and years, and quite frankly, I prefer the traditional photographic medium to the digital. I don't care how many megapixels you have, it's never going to compare to the sharpness and clarity of traditional film. Sorry gang, I'm one of those annoying people! What do you want? I was the family photographer at a pretty young age, 'cos I was the only one who could keep her fingers out of the picture, and take a steady pic!(LOL!)

Oh, yeah, lol, everyone had been pestering me to post this piece, and I couldn't for the longest time because my dad's camera was all FUBAR.(Now this one's a bit rude- It's an acronym for F****d Up Beyond All Recognition.) That acronym has been around for as long as I can remember; I swear it's military slang, just like SNAFU. This is what happens when you talk to a Navy brat, lol! Thanks to my dad and his buddies I know stuff that would put your hair on end!

Any road, it actualy took me a fortnight to complete this necklace once I finally hit the right combination I wanted, because every single crystal in the waterfall is wrapped. Whew!

FUBAR??? That's a fantastic necklace, Val. Highly original both in design and in name

I'm glad I had the chance to see it.
