Give and take

It's Friday the 13th!  I have been bordering on manic this week!  I've had to remind myself of what day it is more than once this week.  Such a frenzied week.  The Easter weekend feels like it was about a month ago.  Did so much running around and made a fair number of baubles in recent days!  Many were wrapped up in cute little MoonRox boxes!  Finished off a long check-list of custom orders and made a special necklace for my Sister.  Seems I have worked late into the night far too many times over the past few months.  I admit that I do not specialize in time management... so it is partly my own doing!  In the weeks ahead I'm hoping for some downtime to work on things that get neglected.  A top priority is the website.  Also, I feel the itch to take a vacation!

Yesterday I dropped off a pretty darned big selection of jewels to The Corsage Project.  Such a great cause.  The Corsage Project helps economically disadvantaged high school students attend their prom by providing free formal-wear.  I remember how excited we got for our formals at our school.  These events are a huge part of the growing up process and I'm happy to provide a little something to help someone enjoy a memorable day.  Visit their website if you'd like to lend a hand in some way too! 

I can't wait for the weekend...
May your weekend be smashing!

PS.  I managed to get this orchid to bloom!  So pretty...

Orchid

My orchid from D. and E.'s wedding celebration is in bloom! It's blooming upside down, hence the wonky angles in these photos. Orchids sure are beautiful flowers! It's another sunny day here, but I have been indoors sniffling and sneezing!
