On Jan 01, 2010 at 5:43 pm #
Brenda H says:Happy Birthday to all “Garnet Girls” (& Boys). I’m an early Feb. girl, but I love garnet more than amethyst. Does that make me a confused chick?
On Jan 01, 2010 at 6:50 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:KH, I am LOL at your comment about losing count!!! Very clever idea!

Just a little correction, my BD is Jan 16, as opposed to the 19th.
But I’d celebrate twice if it gets me more beads!!
On Jan 02, 2010 at 11:03 am #

Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Thank you Lynn for making this POD. I just placed my order. I got so many beads from this pick. I want still the large green garnets but they will have to wait along with AquaKitty for a while before they can come to my house. I cannot wait for my gems to arrive. It will be like Christmas all over again. I will have a large collection of garnet jewelry soon. I will never have too many garnet or peridot. OOOoooo!! That gives me an idea for my next creation with the large green garnet ovals. Next month cannot come quickly enough. May have to get Ted to head out to the money tree again. LOL
On Jan 06, 2010 at 2:00 pm #
