I think my Daughter summed it up pretty well a couple of weeks ago when she angrily spouted, "I thought 13 would be my lucky year! It hasn't been! It's been the worst year EVER!" Dramatic, not really, you see I had just told her that her Great Grandfather, my Gramps, passed that morning at 10:23. This was October 29th just prior to her favorite holiday, Halloween. How ironic that this year the kid chose to be Queen Mab, who is sometimes seen in literature as the Queen of Darkness. It's been dark alright. The loss of my Gramps was made even more difficult for us to bear because it came on the tails of loosing his favorite pie baker, my Mom. Gramps was in his 90's, my Mom only 67. After having been told just a few weeks earlier that she was cancer free, a second sarcoma was found the day after Mother's Day. My Mom fought bravely to overcome that second sarcoma, but she lost the battle to cancer in June. Is that the end of our yearly losses, of course not. Things happen in 3's don't they!? A week ago today my Husband came home and announced that he just been laid off. Scared doesn't begin to describe having to go through unemployed with the Hubs for the third time in seven years.<br /><br />So where am I at today, on a day of thanksgiving, after such a tumultuous last five months? I am at peace. The wonderful things that have been happening have been sadly overshadowed by all the pain, but they are there and I'm embracing them. In October my Brother tied the knot with an incredible Woman. It was a wonderful celebration with family, old friends and new friends. In addition to an awesome Sister In Law, I've been blessed with two darling Nieces close to my Daughter's age and an adorable baby Nephew who's still not too busy to snuggle. I scored! My glass has been keeping me extremely busy and all that work has begun to become fruitful. I'm excited that we've only begun this year's holiday season! Funerals and visitations are hard and painful, but they're also a place where people reconnect. I'm grateful for the friends and family that I was able to reconnect with in these last months. Though jobless is a nightmare, so is a job that was constantly stressful. The hubs is choosing to create opportunities for himself in the job world and I applaud his efforts. This will turn into a job that he is energized by, not drained by! My Princess is growing into a brilliant, talented, beautiful teen who I'm very excited to watch become her own person. She's become a driven student, actor, singer and pie baker who is just bursting with potential. The kid may have chosen to be Queen Mab "a fairy of darkness" for Halloween, but Mab was also said to be a fairy who brings dreams to people. We're going to continue our journey with that version of Queen Mab close to us.

I also did not want one more thing fighting for oven space, hence crock pot utilization! It's now the go-to stuffing recipe on both my and my Husband's side of the family. :)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Crock Pot Stuffing</span><br />1 box of Chicken Stove Top mix<br />1 bag of stuffing bread cubes, seasoned or unseasoned your choice<br />1 1/2c raisins<br />2T dry onion flakes<br />2 cans of Swanson low sodium chicken broth<br /><br />* Make the Stove Top as directed on the box<br />* In a VERY large bowl stir the Stove Top into all of the other ingredients and mix well<br />* Gently scoop ingredients into your crock pot and cook on low for 1-2 hours<br />* Stir in small amounts of water if it seems to be drying out<br />* Serve, but don't worry if you're bowl isn't as cool as our CORN BOWL<br /><br />“<em>Come join the fun at the <a href="http://www.mybakingaddiction.com/tag/holiday-recipe-exchange/" target="_blank">My Baking Addiction</a> and <a href="http://www.goodlifeeats.com/2010/11/vanilla-salted-caramel-hot-chocolate.html">GoodLife Eats</a> Holiday Recipe Swap sponsored by <a href="http://www.swansonbroth.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">Swanson Broth</a>.</em>”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.goodlifeeats.com/category/recipe-exchange" target="_blank" title="Recipe Exchange"><img alt="Recipe Exchange Button" src="http://www.goodlifeeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/recipeexchangebutton2a-preview.png" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-2196501216483294582?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-62178809103231246392010-11-14T08:19:00.000-08:002010-11-14T08:48:20.384-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/TOAR2VUlRCI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/WDU71juMaaY/s1600/moo%2Bback.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/TOAR2VUlRCI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/WDU71juMaaY/s320/moo%2Bback.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539447166799791138" border="0" /></a><br />Well there are a few places!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Seasonal Boutiques and Shows:</span><br /><br />Heart and Home Boutique In The Country Barn<br />6730 County Road 10 North, Waconia, MN<br /><a href="http://www.heartandhomeboutique.com/heartHome.shtm" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://www.heartandhomebou</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span>tique.com/heartHome.shtm</a><br />Nov 14, 18, 19, 20 &amp; 21<br />Barn Hours:<br />Thursdays 9:00am - 6:00 pm<br />Fridays 9:00am - 6:00 pm<br />Saturdays 9:00am - 5:00 pm<br />Sunday 12:00pm - 6:00 pm<br /><br />Chickadee Boutique<br />207 St. Marie, Shoreview MN 55126<br /><a href="http://www.chickadeeboutique.com/chickabout.html" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://www.chickadeeboutiq</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span>ue.com/chickabout.html</a><br />open now: Thurs 9-8, Fri &amp; Sat 9-5<br /> Sun 10/3, 11/7, &amp; 12/5 from 10-5<br /><br />Artisan Holiday Boutique<br />5619 Manitou Road (next to Hazellewood Grill), Excelsior, MN, 55331<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Excelsior-MN/Artisan-Holiday-Boutique/136821069693936" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span>http://www.facebook.com/pa</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>ges/Excelsior-MN/Artisan-H</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>oliday-Boutique/1368210696</span><wbr><span class="word_break"></span>93936</a><br /><div>Friday, November 19 - December 19<br /></div>Tues - Thurs: 11:00 am - 7:00 pm<br />Fri - Sat: 10:00 am - 8:00 pm<br />Sun: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm<br /><br />Crafty Pancakes at FAIR<br /><a href="http://sites.google.com/a/wmep.k12.mn.us/wmep-k12-mn-us-fair-c/">http://sites.google.com/a/wmep.k12.mn.us/wmep-k12-mn-us-fair-c/</a><br />FAIR School Crystal (My daughter's school, awesome place!)<br /><div>3915 Adair Ave N, Crystal, MN 55422<br />November 20 from 8:30-2:00<br />Arts &amp; Crafts Sale 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.<br />All you can eat pancakes 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., $5<br />All you can eat pancakes, 2 sausages, and choice of milk, juice, coffee or tea.

I'm saddened and disappointed. It was a beautiful site and easy to use, but they were purchased by Bonanza and closed at the end of September. Rather than move to Bonanza, I opted to re-open my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/PickleBerries">Artfire</a> store. You'll find the same pieces as are on Etsy at this point, BUT customers have the option of paying through Amazon Payments or Paypal. It was important to me to have something besides Paypal for those who would like an alternative. I also love the fact that people can now, thanks to Artfire, purchase my glass right on my PickleBerries <a href="http://www.facebook.com/PickleBerries">Facebook</a> page.

I can't believe that the Summer is nearly over and the Princess goes back to school in two weeks. Unfortunately this Summer one of the galleries that carried my glass closed so that the artist could focus on her work, but how exciting that I've added three more galleries to the list that carry PickleBerries glass! I'll be taking part in three seasonal boutiques here in Minnesota that begin in September and of course my glass is also in a few more that don't begin until October and November. I don't do many shows, but I'm thrilled to be a part of a carefully chosen few. Mid-September will find me hanging out for four days at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Minneapolis, MN for The Creative Connection's Handmade Market. Mid-December will find me back at one of my favorite shows, The Minnesota Women's Art Festival. I may, or may not, add more shows, we'll see how things progress! You're welcome to pop over to my <a href="http://www.pickleberries.com/">website</a> to see where PickleBerries glass can be found.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-8485138783528332175?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-41790002294584975212010-06-30T11:59:00.000-07:002010-06-30T12:02:47.146-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/TCuUl08HhDI/AAAAAAAAAdE/7LSlpEcS5Hs/s1600/ww.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

She had a frail, wizened grandma who collected treasures of old. These antiquities were kept in a tall, ornately carved cabinet with a glass door and curved glass sides. The treasures were always visible for all to gaze upon. Every time the little girl would visit her gram she would spend some time gazing at the wonders inside of the cabinet. Each item was special and her gram would spin stories about many. The child's favorite were the glass spheres that fit perfectly on the palm of an adults hand. Each of these unique works held captured within their depths, minute flower filled universes exploding with color. They were exquisite works of art made for no other reason than to weigh down the loose papers of ones life. How extraordinary! The little girl grew up, as little girls do, and her gram passed on during that growing up. The millefiori paperweights were tucked in with the rest of the memories of gram only to be reborn when the little girl, now grown with her own quiet, skinny little girl with big eyes and long, straight, bright red hair, decided it was now time. Time to make intricate little universes of her own out of tiny, vibrant glass flowers. These creations would not be relegated to a glass cabinet though, these creations would be to wear and enjoy. They would adorn hair, ear lobes and yes, chests too. Hence the gestation and birth of PickleBerries, where all lived happily ever after.<br />The End.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-6582340792389579202?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-35467191842018292172010-02-24T11:58:00.001-08:002010-02-24T12:00:15.302-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S4WFQ8aLrCI/AAAAAAAAAbI/7gewRWuJHaQ/s1600-h/ww.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S4WFQ8aLrCI/AAAAAAAAAbI/7gewRWuJHaQ/s400/ww.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441902250887457826" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-3546719184201829217?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-87761021449940054652010-02-13T05:45:00.000-08:002010-02-13T06:04:05.465-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S3axRIbyv0I/AAAAAAAAAbA/L6JoE0t7rHg/s1600-h/SDC11251.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S3axRIbyv0I/AAAAAAAAAbA/L6JoE0t7rHg/s200/SDC11251.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437728507976400706" border="0" /></a><br />When a customer commissions pieces in specific colors I like to give them a range of prices and sizes if the don't have a specific price point in mind.

I want to move my work space to a different area in the dungeon, aka basement. I want the space that is closest to the window. I've vacillated between my current location and this corner from the time I set up my work space. The lack of lighting had me heading for the middle of the basement where I am now, but I hate the overhead fluorescent that I've been relying on. The corner spot that I'd like to move to is also loaded with "stuff" and boxes on shelves. (Important stuff like my 1970 something Barbie camper!) The move involves going through loads of minutia packed in boxes, most of which belongs to the hubs. Which leads me to my next problem, getting the hubs to actually go through those boxes is about as easy as herding cats. Hmm, I think I'll go work on my taxes!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-666869764003303893?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-74652038825189189572010-01-27T07:17:00.001-08:002010-01-27T07:24:08.888-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S2BaiIpnWwI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/6VohVi-pUpQ/s1600-h/ww1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S2BaiIpnWwI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/6VohVi-pUpQ/s400/ww1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431440693092899586" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S2BaPtmu4BI/AAAAAAAAAZI/WQJe6eYrOYU/s1600-h/ww1.jpg"><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-7465203882518918957?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-71182955791243292012010-01-24T14:02:00.000-08:002010-01-24T14:21:27.373-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S1zEfjWVgBI/AAAAAAAAAXg/FPZrWdxOvrY/s1600-h/commission.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/S1zEfjWVgBI/AAAAAAAAAXg/FPZrWdxOvrY/s400/commission.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430431297045889042" border="0" /></a><br />Now that the holidays are over I can show off the commission that I was asked to create and fuse.

There will be a variety of lovely artisan made items! Maybe you are looking for something different to do with family or friends who are here from out-of-town or would you like to focus more on buying local this holiday season?

(The picture shows my $17.00 pendants carefully packed for the show.) The location in the market is wonderful, right by the gift shop and coffee shop under a nice bright light. I must admit that I thought my pieces were gorgeously displayed when I finally walked away! As in past shows here, there is an interesting mix of vendors with items being sold for both children and adults. I saw some of the same people as last year and new artisans too. I'll definitely be popping back in to make some gift purchases!<br /><br />Ebenezer Ridges "Holiday Village Market"<br />November 4th-7th<br />Wednesday 3-8, Thursday &amp; Friday 10-5:30, Saturday 10-1<br />13820 Community Drive, Burnsville, MN 55337<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-3573505730370158403?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-49919198053503796742009-09-27T18:59:00.000-07:002009-09-27T19:42:00.223-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SsAdQOODj5I/AAAAAAAAATo/sc8o1YX1now/s1600-h/Library+-+2530.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SsAdQOODj5I/AAAAAAAAATo/sc8o1YX1now/s400/Library+-+2530.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386337318867275666" border="0" /></a><br />OK, maybe not so much mess as organized chaos! At the top of the picture there are some rows of completed cabochons waiting for ponytail, earring and pendant bails to be glued on. You can see rows of pairs of millefiori slices on the left awaiting inspiration. The millefiori on the right has already been paired up with other slices that I'll to use together in earrings. I also have jewelry hang tags drying, each is glued to a business card to be hung on my display pieces. This is what my table has looked like this last week as I've prepared pieces for <a href="http://www.papasbarn.net/">Papa's Barn Boutique</a><br /><br />All of my inventory, 105 pieces, was delivered this last Saturday. There are earrings, ponytail holders and pendants in a wide variety of colors, sizes and styles. The venue in Wabasha is fabulous. It's a family farm in the foothills of the bluffs along the Mississippi, beautiful! Most of the merchandise had been delivered by the other vendors by the time I arrived with mine. I got to wander through both floors of the barn and peek. The antique and handmade furniture was lovely, the prices were so reasonable for such quality. I could have done some serious damage if they were open for business! Every vendor booth with gifts, Halloween and Christmas items were decorated deliciously. These women who run the show are quite talented in the art of display. About the only thing missing were the food vendors who arrive later this week, kettle corn freshly made anyone?! Starting on Friday the Boutique will run for 10 days and be open from 8-6. I'll be hard pressed not to shoot down first thing on Friday and load up my car with goodies!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-4991919805350379674?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-70704419560598133532009-09-23T06:54:00.001-07:002009-09-23T07:09:03.168-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/Sror59OHUXI/AAAAAAAAATg/saPuNOYO5Wg/s1600-h/Library+-+0629.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/Sror59OHUXI/AAAAAAAAATg/saPuNOYO5Wg/s400/Library+-+0629.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384664579161149810" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SropYcn-W6I/AAAAAAAAATY/SRlHaT13LDk/s1600-h/Library+-+2202.jpg"><br /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-7070441956059813353?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-71768490725947709532009-08-29T10:48:00.000-07:002009-08-29T12:50:18.088-07:00This time of year is always difficult for me. Why? Because I <span style="font-weight: bold;">like</span> my child. I enjoy having her around the house all summer. There is no rushing or insanity, we just get to hang together. And now I have to give her back to school in a little over a week. I start to get weepy when I think about giving her back, which is goofy because my daughter goes to the best school on the planet. They nurture her and love her for the caustic witted, tutu wearing, unconformist that she is. She's funny, she's creative, she's smart, she's interesting and she's relaxing to be around. (Of course there is cranky, snotty and stubborn too, but I honestly don't see those very often.) These amazing qualities continue to grow as she does. At 12 years I'm beginning to get glimpses of who she is growing into. It's exciting and wonderful, but at the same time my baby is quickly disappearing into a memory. Each summer it becomes more obvious that college is around the corner and each summer becomes more precious and harder to give up.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/Splx70wLZCI/AAAAAAAAAS4/XP0TmPkwpgM/s1600-h/Library+-+2672.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/Splx70wLZCI/AAAAAAAAAS4/XP0TmPkwpgM/s200/Library+-+2672.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375452902830335010" border="0" /></a>Our end of summer ritual, since my princess was 4 months old, is to spend a day together at the Minnesota State Fair.

I realize that not everyone cares for earrings that dangle. I've been playing with my millefiori pieces to see just how small I can make a cabochon. My experiment has resulted in some very sweet little posts using surgical steel findings and also some tiny dangle style earrings. These pieces will be popping up in my shops in the very near future, if they haven't already made an appearance.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-3226805653367746528?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-77603416394660120152009-02-22T11:35:00.000-08:002009-02-22T11:38:25.084-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SaGpUbbh6oI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/8kgiVb1fuIc/s1600-h/Library+-+1120.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SaGpUbbh6oI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/8kgiVb1fuIc/s320/Library+-+1120.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305708004444859010" border="0" /></a>Once upon a time there was a quiet, skinny little girl with big eyes and long, straight, mousy, brown hair. She had a frail, wizened grandma who collected treasures of old. These antiquities were kept in a tall, ornately carved cabinet with a glass door and curved glass sides. The treasures were always visible for all to gaze upon. Every time the little girl would visit her gram she would spend some time gazing at the wonders inside of the cabinet. Each item was special and gram would spin stories about many. The child's favorite were the glass spheres that fit perfectly on the palm of an adults hand. Each of these unique works held captured within their depths, minute flower filled universes exploding with color. They were exquisite works of art made for no other reason than to weigh down the loose papers of ones life. How extraordinary! The little girl grew up, as little girls do, and her gram passed on during that growing up. The millefiori paperweights were tucked in with the rest of the memories of gram only to be reborn when the little girl, now grown with her own quiet, skinny little girl with big eyes and long, straight, bright red hair, decided it was time. Time to make intricate little universes of her own out of tiny, vibrant glass flowers. These creations would not be relegated to a glass cabinet though, these creations would be to wear and enjoy. They would adorn hair, ears and yes, chests too. Hence the gestation and birth of PickleBerries where all lived happily ever after. The end.<br /><br />PickleBerries comes from my childhood nickname bestowed on me by my dad a million years ago "Lonnie Mary Pickle Berry".<br /><br />A wee bit of background information on me, which is now included in my shops. :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-7760341639466012015?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-36901059423063676792009-01-04T08:31:00.000-08:002009-01-08T06:08:34.997-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SWDkwDXxY5I/AAAAAAAAAOA/MU12dWpoXJg/s1600-h/Library+-+2891.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SWDkwDXxY5I/AAAAAAAAAOA/MU12dWpoXJg/s320/Library+-+2891.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287477476722828178" border="0" /></a> When talking to other moms it seems we never fail to mention what our kids are reading. Some of us have voracious readers and some reluctant, but we all want our kids to read. So, we share titles and authors that our offspring latch onto.<br /><br />I firmly believe that every child can be a reader, after any learning issues are cared for and they've found a book/subject/author that makes their heart sing. As parents it's our job to facilitate this process. We cannot give up on this with our children or expect the school system to do this for us. I have a child who has been at both ends of the learning curve with reading. In 2nd grade we found out the princess has Irlen Syndrome. Before treatment she could barely read and was in the lowest reading group at school. Four years later she tests at college level and flies through books. Her disability was treated AND she found <span style="font-style: italic;">The Littles</span> series which opened the door to a love of literature for her.<br /><br />In an effort to help kids and parents ferret out great books, the princess and I went through her stacks to come up with titles and authors that may make your child's heart sing too. Most of these are great for boys or girls in grades 4-7. Please remember that what's fine in our house may not be OK in your's and vice versa. Sci fi, mystery and fantasy involving fairies, witches, magic, &amp; mythology are our faves. We don't go beyond a simple kiss or crush in literature or watch PG-13 movies. TV stars, Hannah Montana etc., are not seen as role models around here either, in fact the television is seldom on.<br /><br />Please feel free to add your child's or your own childhood favorites in the comments.

They aren't quite "kids" anymore, but at the same time they are not teens. Why push teen, with all its connotations, at them? I'm in favor of "growing old gracefully" at every age. So I wanted to share some of the things that I have found on Etsy for my female, artist, reader, actor, almost teen.<br /><ul><li>This journal from UberArt is beautiful, my child's favorite colors and full of sketch paper. She will love to draw in this and it will be a lovely keepsake when full of art. Many styles of journals here... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5428768">http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5428768</a></li></ul><ul><li>I am all over gentle beauty products that are not make-up, for this age. The yummy lip balm is available in many intoxicating flavors from dennisanderson. There are also some delish body products to make bathing OFTEN more desirable. (Vital at this age, trust me!) Wonderful body products here... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5124873">http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5124873</a></li></ul><ul><li>This year the princess has become even more firmly entrenched in <span style="font-style: italic;">Nightmare Before Christmas. </span>The Jack style bracelet by adcdmc is right up her alley. Many of her cohorts at school are going to be green with envy! To see what other treasures are available... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5699479">http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5699479</a> </li></ul><ul><li>Speaking of princess, how could you not get someone who is "Morgan Le Fey" for Halloween a lovely art print from EmilyBalivet. It almost seems like this artist and my child are one in the same, they are both so inspired by mythology and the ancients. The art is stunning, take a peek... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=30030">http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=30030</a></li></ul><ul><li>The pillowcase covered with books is mandatory for my reader! She has a window seat full of pillows where she likes to read that this will definitely be gracing. Maybe you would prefer a book bag? They have both here... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5157917">http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5157917</a></li></ul><ul><li>For some reason my child has a strange fascination with tree rats. Her mother obviously does not share that love, but bonspielcreation seems to. This small squirrel purse is fabulous and my daughter is going to use this beauty forever! The quality is topnotch. Pop in to see all the styles of bags, with and without tree rats... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=11169">http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=11169</a></li></ul><ul><li>rhymeswithmagic makes the perfect gift for the book eating female on your list, jewelry that refers to books! My child does not read books, she goes through them so fast we say that she eats them. Could have something to do with the fact that in 5th grade her reading skills were that of a senior graduating from high school, but I digress. Great pendants and earrings saying all sorts of fun things are to be found here... <a href="http://etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5329778">http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5329778</a><br /></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-116290911378973464?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-62145851832530256542008-11-09T19:59:00.000-08:002008-11-09T20:11:39.842-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SRezf92It_I/AAAAAAAAAJQ/dxfAE59hE7I/s1600-h/blog2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SRezf92It_I/AAAAAAAAAJQ/dxfAE59hE7I/s320/blog2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266875650992027634" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SRezQDo3CgI/AAAAAAAAAJI/VQLKudXWsbs/s1600-h/blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SRezQDo3CgI/AAAAAAAAAJI/VQLKudXWsbs/s320/blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266875377669048834" border="0" /></a><br />Thank you to my customer Anna who not only purchased my ponytail holders, but wrote a VERY nice article on her blog about them!

No, I have not been a big slug for the last week. I've been getting ready for a 4 day art show, but that is another blog, and working on an elaborate King Arthur era princess costume for the child. A year ago my daughter decided that she was going to be "Morgan Le Fey, The Greatest Sorceress Ever" for 2008 Halloween. At our house Halloween tops Christmas in the planning department. Christmas just kind of happens, whereas Halloween is intricately planned down to the last underapparel detail. As much as I hate to sew there are no holds barred in creating costumes around here. I gave birth to a kid who hit the ground bursting into song and drama. This holiday was made just for her. I'm willing to suck up the hate-to-sew yen, that I allow to take over at all other times of the year, to make something that rocks for my princess. (I must admit that it isn't just that I hate to sew. I have osteoarthritis in my hands, so it hurts horribly too. She won't be my baby forever though!) The child also has multiple opportunities to wear her costume each year so it isn't just for one night.<br /><br />We found the pattern in August. One must look early or count on your one choice to be sold out in every store! There were 2 that she liked, but this won the toss. Then the choice was about dress A, B, C, or D. Next was which sleeve style would be the most beautimous. Those choices took a little while of course, so it was a month before we were ready to choose fabric. Back to the store for fabric and trims. First it was all about black. Then we began discussing who we thought Morgan Le Fey was and what made her tick. The child and I decided dark jewel colors were the way to go. We live where it could be snowing on Halloween so warmth was important too. Velveteens for both the cape and the dress. I'll spare you the sewing details because I don't need to relive that here! Let us just say that it was time consuming and labor intensive, but as always, very worth it.

So it counteract the gloom I've gone through my photos and pulled up some of my favorite florals. I need to see something colorful and bright today, maybe you do to!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-4550021561649278636?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-31097899551068192652008-10-21T09:52:00.000-07:002008-10-21T10:15:28.917-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SP4KJNM6raI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/ZuZy3Ez123g/s1600-h/2893589900_a4261becc0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SP4KJNM6raI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/ZuZy3Ez123g/s400/2893589900_a4261becc0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259652568094256546" border="0" /></a><br />So those familiar with Etsy understand the coolness of being chosen for a treasury that a fellow Etsian has made. The epitome is to have the treasury you are in, or have made, chosen to be displayed on the front page of the Etsy site. What makes it even wilder is that there is no notice by Etsy that you will be, are, or have been on the front page! I happened to trip over one of my ponytail holders on the front page of Etsy on Saturday, September 27, 2008. There it is on the bottom left corner. As you can imagine, there was much screaming, whooping and thundering of feet as I made the family haul it in and take notice. It was really cool to watch the numbers go up on the pony tail holder as people hit it to go into my shop. I MIGHT have been a little obnoxious with the constant play-by-play and updating of my numbers. The 11 year old barked at one point, "I'm trying to read HERE!" Hello, the book isn't going anywhere, your mother is only famous through one of her pieces for a few minutes! The things we put up with for our art! :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-3109789955106819265?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-5155135686934181322008-10-20T09:56:00.000-07:002008-10-20T11:12:31.479-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzKAGR6tyI/AAAAAAAAAGI/UJwKKJL2MQs/s1600-h/fall+blog+-+9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzKAGR6tyI/AAAAAAAAAGI/UJwKKJL2MQs/s200/fall+blog+-+9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259300567896471330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJafP3TaI/AAAAAAAAAFo/8dRngmqUMkU/s1600-h/fall+blog+-+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJafP3TaI/AAAAAAAAAFo/8dRngmqUMkU/s200/fall+blog+-+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259299921763716514" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJahndq_I/AAAAAAAAAFw/nkNY7RBIrcw/s1600-h/fall+blog+-+4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJahndq_I/AAAAAAAAAFw/nkNY7RBIrcw/s200/fall+blog+-+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259299922399570930" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJa6Q78iI/AAAAAAAAAF4/2d3XlV6Tjz8/s1600-h/fall+blog+-+5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJa6Q78iI/AAAAAAAAAF4/2d3XlV6Tjz8/s200/fall+blog+-+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259299929015972386" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJa3dz-vI/AAAAAAAAAGA/rGsymsOhOSs/s1600-h/fall+blog+-+7.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPzJa3dz-vI/AAAAAAAAAGA/rGsymsOhOSs/s200/fall+blog+-+7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259299928264669938" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Fall has always been my favorite time of year. I love the crispy bite of the air. Just cold enough to make you tingle, but not chill entirely. It even feels good to breathe it deeply. The colors are intense and vivid, nothing soft. The sky seems a richer blue for some reason. It is sweater weather, or football weather, both of which I am heartily in favor of. Fall has special noises and smells which are also so very intense. Burning leaves! Not a smell allowed in many communities anymore. So much better to compost them, but the smell just isn't the same. Dry leaves themselves have a special, inexplicable scent. Why do we have floral perfumes, but not dry maple leaves?! It could be marketed in football pro shops throughout the US, to high school football cheerleaders, football moms. I see a niche! I'll leave you with some of my favorite fall photos that I took last year. Enjoy your area's version of fall!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-515513568693418132?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-20467896329032361712008-10-18T05:25:00.000-07:002008-10-24T15:32:09.890-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPnl0273QwI/AAAAAAAAABY/xtLzYTbRtVk/s1600-h/LonTreas.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPnl0273QwI/AAAAAAAAABY/xtLzYTbRtVk/s400/LonTreas.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258486736194323202" border="0" /></a><br />This is the first treasury that I made up. It was very unplanned! I had no intention of jumping in with those crazy people who lurk on the treasury waiting to see the message that the treasury has an opening. As I was hunting for gold stars, shows where you have an item featured in the treasury, I got to the bottom of the page and there it was...A TREASURY OPENING. My breathing turned ragged, heart palpitations began, do I take it? My fingers seemed to have a mind of their own and before I knew it they had a title typed. The treasury was MINE all MINE. Now what!! Thank goodness Etsy plans for those who act before they think, the directions were right there. Quite good too, I might add. I commenced to dig through my favorites to find the earrings by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=94188">jennifermorrisbeads</a> that I knew I could live without, but was not sure that I wanted to. The earrings were my "color", "feeling", and "look" inspiration. There was a specific reason for each item shown and I must be humored while I give all of those. :)<br /><ol><li>Live Oak Tree by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5314581">FriendlyMade</a> - I loved the lines, textures and colors in this photo. They were one of the 1st places on Etsy that I made a purchase and a fellow Minnesotan too.</li><li>cocina de guadalahara- THE earrings.</li><li>Do I really need to explain why I would NEED to include a piece of this stunning, rich chocolate cake by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5235881">FatDaddysBakeShop</a>? Didn't think so. (This shop is on pregnancy leave at this time.)<br /></li><li>Eden Felt Flower Pin by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5389">skippingstones</a> - I love the pieces by this artist and had a difficult time choosing which to use. The color, shape and texture worked for this one. The beading, applique and embroidery are beautifully done. These are things I used to be able to do well before I lost the dexterity in my hands through arthritis and I fully appreciate the art and talent involved.</li><li>Rosette Cloche Hat by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=872">giantdwarf </a>- This was just too adorable to pass up. The colors were perfect, and it was made from a recycled sweater.</li><li>Amalfi Garden by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5970515">TRMACKSTUDIO</a> - Gustav Klimt is one of my favorite artists and this is so reminiscent of Gustav! Once again the shapes, colors and look worked for me. Such cool work.<br /></li><li>Leopard Witch by nebularmystic - In addition to the colors being just right, this is a big cat in a witch's hat. There is someone in my house who started to hyperventilate when she saw this, so I included the art because it was loved. (Unfortunately this artist doesn't seem to be on Etsy any more.)<br /></li><li>Sea Urchin Shell by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5952497">ShannonAmidon</a> - The pieces by this artist are stunning and I loved that it was the color and texture that I was after.</li><li>Blueberry Limeade Flower by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5164311">ZadaGay</a> - I LOVE polymer clay, but I am horrible at it. (Those genes didn't carry over though, so someone in our house will be a force to be reckoned with in the polymer clay department.) Because it is something I have no aptitude with, not for lack of trying either, I'm appreciative of the talent that goes into each item. This artist does some exciting things with her pieces!<br /></li><li>Almond and Praline by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5688886">BellaSapone</a> - They have the yummiest looking soap. The design on these bars is intricate and beautiful. I'm impressed. I make cold processed soap and understand what an art both making a scrumptious soap is and getting a clear mold is.<br /></li><li>Blue Angel Print by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=30030">EmilyBalivet</a> - I was planning on using her 12 Women With Birds, but I needed the blue in the angel. The artist has done some gorgeous art celebrating women.</li><li>Stunning Sparkling Fish by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=40250">ovenfriedbeads</a> - I am all over beading and this is a lovely intricately made piece! Colors and textures that were loudly singing to me to be used.</li></ol>So if you made it this far I'm impressed! Yes, there was an obvious method to my madness. I have done another Treasury since my first on September 9th, but alas, it wasn't captured. My inspiration for that were the cutest lion tushie ponytail holders ever that <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5082654">MaryMarsh</a> has in her shop and also reside in the hair accessory drawer at our house when not being worn for a bracelet. There were also some members of the Minnesota Etsy Street Team (search TeamMn to hunt for us) featured. Now it is obvious and my secret has been revealed, if I have done two treasuries I must have turned into a lurker too. One more thing that I've done in the last three months that I didn't think I'd ever be doing!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-2046789632903236171?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-10813990474132274932008-10-17T08:14:00.000-07:002008-10-17T08:43:37.362-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPiwWfobHOI/AAAAAAAAABI/nvCSbGA3ZUA/s1600-h/Lon%27s+First+Etsy+Treasury-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPiwWfobHOI/AAAAAAAAABI/nvCSbGA3ZUA/s320/Lon%27s+First+Etsy+Treasury-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258146465449712866" border="0" /></a><br />Like most Etsians I love to be active in the treasuries! There is nothing like free advertising and all those warm fuzzies that you get from people enjoying your work. Ten days after opening my shop, July 27th, I woke to find a convo from an Etsian asking if I knew I was in a treasury. Nope, I hadn't a clue! I couldn't believe that I made a treasury so quickly after reading in the forums how many people had never been in one and how long they had been on Etsy. Thankfully a link was included in the convo or it would have taken me forever to figure out how to hunt down the treasury! Those are my earrings in the bottom left corner. At this point I have had my pieces featured in 18 treasuries.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2173315239896475598-1081399047413227493?l=pickleberries-pickleberriesglass.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pickleberrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15803027398995693816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173315239896475598.post-78454174742869778802008-10-16T17:02:00.000-07:002008-10-16T17:08:51.773-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPfXfUhy4tI/AAAAAAAAABA/CcxSK9azzHI/s1600-h/E.+pony+gr+org+yell+-+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VeHBLFFcxfY/SPfXfUhy4tI/AAAAAAAAABA/CcxSK9azzHI/s320/E.+pony+gr+org+yell+-+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257908023064715986" border="0" /></a><br />How could I forget the first time that I was featured in a blog!
