Oz driving away in his van still makes me cry, after seeing it a thousand times, and this one being less than a second.

I haz rainbowz!

Two random photos from last weekend's Baltimore aquarium impromptu trip:

faces by cidtalk

I finally framed and hung these faces by my etsy friend Cindy of cidtalk. Aren't they fabulous? You can't really tell in this photo, but the paper behind the photos is embossed scrapbooking paper, which is a really pretty effect.

bracelet

Cherie at cheriedesigns on etsy is a chef and jewelry maker. This is a bracelet she made using a couple of beads from my beads sampler. I love seeing what other people create with the beads! And I love the mix of polymer clay beads with stones, gems, crystals, etc. Collage jewelry is my favorite.

Yep, it's time for the PCAGOE monthly challenge again. This month's theme is ACEOs. What's that?? Here's the wiki article about them. And here's a search on etsy - just 22,000 entries or so...
