It is a fact that Megan Clark has been the best about being on time with the earring challenge, next Suzanne Krill. Megans' are sterling silver with inlaid Stingray skin. Suzanne continues with black plexiglass and pearl. We all manage to get them done, but this week Ill be busy tomorrow cranking out a pair of hoops with blue topaz. We have several summer birthdays in our family. Thus, lots of summer weekend travel has prevailed.

I'll have to add my earrings, Julies' and Lillians' to another post.

Birthday party weekend for Herb and Gina McKim, thanks for the lovely dinner. It was fun visiting with all the families. I forgot my camera during the party, but I was given this fantastic photo of Elizabeth, Herb & Ginas' 12 year old daughter with Mercury jumping hurdles at a horse show. The rocks were some of their finds from western NC that they gave me to incorporate in some jewelry.

The dogs enjoy and tolerate each other, Runner Corbin is the golden doodle, Sophie McKim our golden and Mackie Mckim is the little sheltie. Next time we will have to add the other two hound cousins to the mix.
