I won the silver medal in FireMountain Gems Jewelry Design Contest!!!!

Last month was horrid! Our car broke down 3 times, then finally gave up  the ghost. The power wen out in half out house - the half that had the AC unit hooked to it - and the temps were record setting hot, like 114 degrees hot. Our water heater blew out and flooded the utility room. My hubby's hours were cut at work.My dryer quit working. All in all, a really crappy month, right?

Not so, dear reader, totally not so!

I had forgotten that I entered the FireMountain Gems Jewelry Design Contest in the Art Clay Silver category.

I swear, you could hear my squeal all the way across own! Dogs cowered, my cats streaked away, and pigeons from 4 blocks away took flight in sheer panic! When they told me I'd won the silver medal, I totally came unglued. My hubby had to come peel me off the ceiling, then get me to quit babbling long enough to figure out what I was saying.

When he did finally understand, he smiled a huge smile and said, and I quote, :Finally, someone else knows what I've been saying for years. You really are that talented." Yep ladies, he's a keeper and he's all mine. Talk about validation!

There were over 5,000 submissions to this contest. Can you say flabbergasted? I won the silver medal for a necklace that I'd made over 4 years ago, when I was barely getting started! Woohooooo! I'm still all a twitter about it!

They sent me a copy of the ad they'll use and it's freakin' gorgeous! It's amazing what a pro photographer can do to make things look so fantastic, and the team at FMG is just awesome. I have a call in to them to see if I can show the add on my website a

    I've been married for more than half my life to the same man, rarely if ever read instructions, am owned by 2 cats, and most of the time walk around in a haze of creation. Most everything else is subject to change at a moments notice.
