Sometimes I have good internet, and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I don't have more than a couple minutes to spend on the good internet. Soooooo.... I've been a little quieter. I think you can forgive? :D
In other news, I just found out last week that this necklace has been accepted into the second round of judging for the Fire Mountain Gems contest! Woooooot. I need to get it in the mail soon. Like Monday. That's chips of tourmaline I used in it.
