Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Oh man I love this. Your picture is even fabulous. It makes me even more upset at myself for not sending in my order back then to get my free stuff along with it. I just procrastinated too long. That should be my name “Procrastination”. What a horrible bad habit.

Bead-itudes says:Thank you ladies – glad you like it.
Don’t beat yourself up to bad Faith – I just lost out on the last First Come First Serve sale. I really wanted the Rhrodcrosite – but I must have pushed the button to late. When my order shipped it wasn’t included – so it must have sold out. I’m in the procrastination boat with you.

Bead-itudes says:Thank you Mommykat. I was trying to pull some of the lighter green in the pendant up into the necklace so it wouldn’t be to dark. The pendant also had those couple of coppery spots on it – that’s what lead me to add the copper beads.
Thanks for the compliments ladies…
