Dibs, anyone?

Bleh--I am still trying to tie up a lot of loose ends around here. I'm exhausted. No thanks to this guy:

Uh, Luke--you've got a little something on your face.

He's cutting two more teeth and has been a clingy CRANKYPANTS (unless I give him Oreos--hey, it always cheers me up) for the past week and a half or so. He's not sleeping well, he wants to be held all the time and freaks out whenever I put him down. Don't you just love teething?? I'm glad I finally figured out what was going on so I could drug him up. Things are a little cheerier with ibuprofen and Orajel.

Anyway, I wanted to post the jewelry I made for the July Jamboree (and the pieces my mom contributed to the cause) before I haul them off to the consignment shop in a few days. I probably won't be putting any of these on etsy, so this would be your only chance to buy them from me unless you come to Cedar City. If you happen to be interested in anything, let me know and I can give you more specific measurements/prices. Or you can just let me know how hugely talented we are so that all of this will at least be worth a boosted ego or two.

Kidding....
