Just one? I would love a London Blue Topaz, a Ruby, and an Emerald. I have some Blue Sapphire (my birthstone) but would love 460-740 or 490-070 or any of your Blue Sapphire jewelry!

For everyone, everywhere, to know their value! To know that they are loved! And for everyone to have shelter, warmth, and a full belly!

Everything! Finding a space to park. The feeling of swimming upstream to get to the stores that have items on your list only to find that they are sold out so you have to swim downstream which only feels like swimming back upstream (but this time the crowds are worse and you are loaded down with items you found that were not on your list). You get sidetracked because you smell fresh cinnamon rolls. You have burned so many calories swimming through the crowds that you simply cannot go any further than the end of the line to wait for a cinnamon roll. By the time you get to the front of the line you are told that they just sold the last cinnamon roll but the next batch will be ready in 15 minutes. But hey, there are packages of room temperature rolls leftover from the day before that you can purchase, which you do because you have invested so much time waiting for a roll! You rearrange your bags trying to balance the weight on each side of your body hoping that you won’t drop everything as you try to nibble on your room temperature treat. With sticky hands and a napkin stuck to your shirt you walk into a department store and as soon as you reach for the item your dear family member so badly wanted, someone dashes in and grabs it before your hand makes contact with it. Of course it was the last one in stock! By now, feet are hurting, you look at your watch and realize you were supposed to be on your way to an event clear across town. So you find the nearest exit only to realize you cannot remember where you parked! 

I guess my mother wanted me to have a daughter! After my eldest was born, and knowing I had a boy, she sent me a package that was filled with pink items for a baby girl!

Actually, not the show, but I really love reading your lovely replies/comments on posts. 

Hi Jay!

Have you ever paired boulder chrysoprase with petrified wood? Or lapis with petrified wood? Or blue snakeskin jasper wih petrified wood?

Of all the jewelry you have designed, what do you consider your masterpiece?

I am a collector so at first I thought about The Sailing Treasure. I also like clothing and jewelry so it would be quite easy to fill a ship up with lots of clothes and came up with The Closet Cruiser. Of course one can’t do with only collectibles, clothing and accessories. I must first and foremost have my family and furry kids set sail with me so perhaps I could call it Star’s Galaxy Ship. Then came the thought of food and decided I needed everything including The Kitchen Sink. But no one, and I mean NO ONE wants a ship with the word SINK in its name! So I gave up and found a ship name generator and got ten names: 

Snap
Unswerving
The Longford
Grenado
Trident
Bideford
Loyal
Torquay
Diligent
Clinker

Clinker? That does not sound like a very good name for a ship! So I decided to take sail and visit the arcade. There it hit me: Today’s Special! Great name for my ship because Today Is Special!!!

A large grove of Mine Finds Trees! 

I love Fall and all the beautiful colors displayed by nature. But I live in an area where our seasons seem to be: Wind, Windy, Windier, and Windiest. I am so thankful for stores that provide me with endless choices for decorating my house. Fake Fall is better than no Fall at all! 

I keep a limited number of decorative items out all year that remind me of Fall. Soon I will pull out my Halloween decor followed by my Thanksgiving decor. And just to bring the smell of Fall into the picture I will have to “force” myself to bake some pumpkin and pecan pies. 

50 years! Because if I appear in that “peak” I will be sporting triple digits! :womanlol:
