...and Happy Leap Day!
Starting today and working through the weekend I am rearranging furniture in my apartment and re-working my workspace. Hopefully soon I will be totally organized so I can finish up a bunch of projects. Have a wonderful weekend!

New Line for Red Bess Bonney Creations!
I have started a new line of picture frame cards in my Etsy shop. You can send a greeting, then instead of the cards getting tossed, they can be re-used as a picture frame! I have two sizes available - large and small. The large, pictured here, can hold a 4" x 4" picture. The small ones are half that size. I can do custom work if you have a certain paper in mind. Let me know what you think!

What a weekend!
On Valentine's Day I got quite a surprise. Have you seen the movie
"Say Anything..."? Well, Chris and I were helping at preschool, and he leaves during snack time and dashes back in telling everyone to come outside. We go outside, and he is standing on our car, blasting the Peter Gabriel song from the movie, and holding a huge handmade anniversary/valentine card. Sorry I didn't get a picture... It made me cry, as well as one of the teachers! After school, we headed down to San Diego.
Friday we went to Sea World, and had lunch with Shamu! I highly recommend the Dine with Shamu - it's like having your own private show!
Saturday we headed for Balboa Park. I had never been there except to go to the zoo, so we explored a bit. We took Colin to the Model Railroad Museum, then we went to the Natural History Museum to see the new Pompeii exhibit. Very cool. Sunday we headed back home.
Monday we went back to Hollywood so Chris could get his photo taken with Oscar. We also did a family photo.

Let's Pretend This Is My 100th Post!
No one commented on my 100th post over the weekend, so I will open up the giveaway again... Comment by Wednesday at midnight PST to enter to win a lovely Valentine and 20% off any one item in my Etsy shop!
Okay, sneak peek time.... This is my finished Elizabethan-inspired necklace and earring set that will be on sale February 10 in my shop. The necklace is actually two necklaces, a choker with champagne pearls and red Swarovski rondelles and a longer two-strand pearl necklace with more red Swarovski accents and a large pearl drop hanging from a sterling chandelier. The earrings feature a large pearl, Swarovski rondelles and a small pearl. Please let me know what you think! I know the whole ensemble is a specialized piece - it would be gorgeous with a wedding dress or for a costume - but the components could be worn any time!
One more thing - if you would like to know when I list new items in my shop, please e-mail me with your e-mail address and I will put you on a mailing list. My e-mail is on my profile page. Thanks!

Wow...
how embarassing! NO ONE left a comment on my blog for my 100th post giveaway!
I guess everyone had a busy weekend!
I'll be posting my finished Elizabethan set tomorrow. This will be a sneak preview of the set; it will be going on sale February 10 in my Etsy shop.
Well, it's late and I'm exhausted after watching the Puppy Bowl and Masterpiece Theater...
