Crafty Evan

Last night Evan was in a crafting mood. He decided that it would be fun to make some bracelets.


I got out a box of beads and he immediately started picking out beads and designing a pattern. He made an orange and black one with a cute pumpkin bead and flower charm for his teacher.


He then made a cute Christmas one for himself:



He really loves the character beads.

Yea, New Beads!

Wow, I got a large order of gemstone beads in yesterday. There are some real beauties, so I am sure that my customers will love them. It feels just like Christmas. Did I say that I love my job?

Typical Evening

Evan was so excited to find a dried up gecko last night. He ran in to tell me that he had in his possession a "gecko skeleton." I'm not sure if it is really a skeleton...just more like a dehydrated gecko. I wanted to take a picture of Evan holding his specimen, but he had just taken a bath and was a t-shirt and underwear and was adament that he didn't want a photo of him in his underwear on the internet. I told him I would only take it from the waist up, but he still wasn't convinced. Thus, we had to settle of a photo of the gecko on the table.

Chad and Todd were troopers and helped me bag some beads for our store. Chad wasn't in the mood to have his photo taken and Todd couldn't help but tease him a little. Thanks guys, for all of your hard work and dedication!

It Feels Like Fall at Hackberry Creek

I know it is summer, but when I saw these adorable Halloween beads that I just got in, I felt a bit of Fall in the air.
