I have good news and I have bad news........as IF I need anymore bad news in my life....... My son and I have been very ill the past couple of weeks. He got worse early last week so I took him to the doc. Prognosis was that we both have had the flu, but initial test results were inconclusive so we had to be treated as if we had swine flu to be safe

Hello everyone! Today is the first time in almost 2 weeks that I've even turned on the computer. I've got 1800 emails to get through (although most of them are probably junk or Forum post emails for discussions I had been participating in), and I'm so far behind here that it will take me probably a couple weeks to get caught up. Thank you

Hello everyone! First off, I want to thank all of you who have been praying for me and my family. I've received several cards and emails, and a wonderful glass ornament with a little winged kitty sitting on a fluffy cloud inside it. We are still very sad, this has affected us in a way that I never anticipated. But I'll talk about that in the

Robin, I'm late in chiming in with good wishes and prayers for Marley, but I am SO glad that it seems that she's doing well. It's so horrible to see them in pain, even when we know the possible cause and still can't really do anything to help them. My own little girl-pug had similar problems to Marley when she was spayed 4 years ago

If I'm not mistaken, even Swarovski's AB is a coating, it's just a higher-quality treatment and process and thus the higher price. That being said, I have one particular magnetic bracelet that I made for myself over a year ago, using black hematites with purple AB's (I forget the exact name of the shade of purple I used). I wear this

Shannon, I have nothing further to offer for the endless necklace than what Sheila and Pam have already offered. But, I wish you great luck in your current herringbone (next on my own learn-to-do list!) and with the future necklace projects. Pam, THANK YOU for that link to the animated knots!! What a truly terrific site and way to learn! I could have

I agree with Inca. If the project is one that you would make and get your money's worth, then you won't regret the expense. If you still have reservations, look into whether the particular pattern is offered in a past issue of B&B, find out if that issue is still available and purchase the magazine for all the other projects to maximize

Thank you, Everyone, for your thoughts and prayers, your empathy and compassion. SnowPuff is still with me, and he even seems to be getting a little better! I'm shocked after how he was Friday and Saturday, really shocked. My son went across the street to the store Saturday early evening and picked up a couple jars of baby food meat, different flavors

Hello Everyone! I'm very sorry to have caused any worry. It has been a hectic couple of weeks. My son's spring break was the week before Easter and we spent a lot of time together outside or playing board/video games together. Then, Passover with wonderful Jewish friends, I was confirmed Catholic during the Easter Vigil Mass on Easter Saturday

Thank you, Stan. I had tried to find that information as well without luck. I've known that all Swarovski has lead, as I've collected the small animal figures for many years. Next to Waterford, Swarovski is probably the finest quality crystal out there. As for the Celestial, I have received a response back from FMG. I'm not sure if this
