Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:This is lovely Smoky! The brass really sets off the smoky quartz and the rhodonite w/pyrite is just yummy in this pick!
Hope all is well with you and your mom too!

Smoky Rose says:Thank you, Debbi! Trying to perk up my office – and office life, for that matter, have been adding plants to my windowsill……. I am well, thanks. Sweet Smoky Hen Leona is feeling very well, but having difficulty with acceptance…… not that I blame her – difficult transition. Thanks so much for asking!

D D Mystic Chick says:cool pick Smoky & hugs for Smoky Hen Leona!
On Jun 09, 2009 at 8:07 am #
Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:It’s always a pick me up to freshen up the place we spend lots of time…I think plants are a perfect way to add a little life to perhaps a basic office atmosphere.
I am happy to heat that all is well…considering! My thoughts are with your mom…I’ve noticed with some of my older relatives and friends that it is hard to accept new challenges in life. Hugs to you both today!

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:You are both in my thoughts and prayers, Smoky.
Have you tried adding artwork too? If possible, a few pics of flowers or a nice landscape (can be small scale) would be cheering. Don’t know if you have a cubicle or office walls.
On Jun 09, 2009 at 9:25 am #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Forgot to say how much I love this new Fav! I am considering ordering some of that rhodonite w/pyrite, and always like to see your signature smoky quartz in the mix.

On Jun 13, 2009 at 7:57 am #
Smoky Rose says:Thanks Cathy!!!!! I tried a couple times the other nite to send you a message – don’t know if it went thru or not. Tend to think it must not have been. Did not realize you were in IL! Had CO in my mind for some reason. I grew up outside Chicago – are you familiar w/Downers Grove?
On Jun 13, 2009 at 8:24 am #
Cathy H Chocolate Chick says:Yes, I have heard of Downers Grove! I am more in the middle of the state around Champaign – Decatur area. Sorry, I didn’t get your message, but I’m not the best at some of this technical stuff!
On Jun 13, 2009 at 8:29 am #
Smoky Rose says:oh please, ME either. I think it didn’t go thru. How about that, small world. My cuz’s went to UofI Champaign… I have family all over the area. Good to connect with a fellow Illini! Good to connect! I’ve missed you all!
On Jun 13, 2009 at 8:44 am #
Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:very lovely pick! These are definitely your colors! Oh how they tease us on Saturday with 25% off!
How are you making out muddling through your paper work? I brought a stack home this weekend. They’re asking for data and I haven’t scored the assessments yet.
On Jun 13, 2009 at 8:47 am #
Cathy H Chocolate Chick says:Imagine that! My daughter is going to the U of I at Champaign. She just finished her first year and is having a hard time adjusting to being at home for the summer – misses all of her new friends! How is your mom doing?

Mary S - Sweet Chick says:Smoky!! You did it AGAIN! Congratulations!
I believe ‘someone’ had a pick of the day only last week? You’re on a roll girlfriend!
Miss hearing from you. Hope you’re doing alright and Smoky Hen Leona is too.
I still can’t quite figure out the
‘garden’ thing. And really not sure I can take the time to figure it out right now.
I get a little lost in there.
So Chocolate Chick, I’m right with you on the technical stuff. It isn’t my forte’.
I’d rather be beading!
