It's Tucson time again!

It's time for the Tucson gemshow!  My mom is joining me again this year.  Yay!  We hit the road at 7:30AM (yesterday).  Here's Mr. Dancing Cactus leading the way and my mom had to get a picture of me in the drivers seat. 

  

We made some pitstops along the way and when we got to Tucson we had to make a stop at Starbucks for some refreshment, goodies to take to our favorite vendor at the Kino show and eat our packed lunch.  Costco is right next door, so we refilled the gas too.

Recent happenings at cserpentDesigns!

Although I work at home most of the time I am staying in more than usual (no gym visits, no soccer practice !  :( ) so I have a bit of extra time.  I decided it was time to dig through my bead stash and find some beads that have been languishing for years and design with them.  Well I bought a LOT of furnace glass beads from Mingo and Asho years ago and still have quite a few so I went on a designing spree with those.  Here is just a taste :)  Some of these sold already, some are currently for sale on Facebook and the rest are on my website here.

Tucson Day 6

Preview Image: 

Good morning!  I've had my coffee and breakfast, checked emails and we're about to start our day of gem hunting.  Have you ever wondered how anyone stays organized going to so many shows over a span of a week?  Well here is my method.  Before I go to the shows I make a list of all the vendors I want to see, figure out what shows they are in and then organize my days by going to venues that are close to one another on the same days.  Here is my schedule for this years Tucson shows.
