It's amazing looking back on this year.
I discovered how intense hosting
the Bead Soup Blog Party could be.
And then I started writing a book about it.
I taught a jewelry class
(and will be teaching another in March).
The 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party reveal was exciting
as I worked with beads completely out of my comfort zone.

I dyed my hair pink.
I had a lot of MRIs and had some good thoughts
in the tube.
I learned to melt solder and burn up fire brick
with Stephanie Lee.
I thought about finding my bliss.
You made blue bracelets with me.
I went to BeadFest and Bead and Button
and shopped like crazy.
I took my camera for an outing and
wrote about the entire day,
which ended with hugs from this guy.
Both the older boys got their PhDs, and
Zack wants to be like them.
Zack and I went to the beach
and then went again.
I had Bead Soup Blog Party #4
and about lost my mind.
I went to ArtBliss
and met a lot of friends
and made some cool things.

I finished my book
and had my picture taken.
And I read lots of comments
and emails and cards
from all of you, which brought me
unbelievable joy.
Thank you all
for a wonderful year!
