A Rainstorm Challenge

Weather in CA in Feb can be very unpredictable. We know it rains. That’s a given. That’s why my son quit swimming. No fun to have swim meets in the rain and cold. Good thing. I hated watching swim meets in the rain and cold.

Yesterday was one of those unpredictable days that a simple rain kept us indoors and cozy until all of a sudden a huge down pore with hail even!!! For about 30 min it rained so hard the drain system in the roads just couldn’t keep up. In most places they’d call it Flash Flood conditions. Most people would dread this.

Not my 14 year old son. When he saw all of the water he became so excited. I asked him “What are you planning?.” He responded “I don’t know yet but there’s a frickin’ lake in my street”.

And off he went. So off I went to take pictures because he was hilariously happy which made me want to capture what I could. Obviously, the fast setting on my camera wasn’t cooperating, but you get the idea.

Every Excuse to Get Together

Saturday, we got a group together, many from The Switchboards for a craft supply swap and potluck at my home. I have to say, it was super fun and a big success all around. Pictured from left to right: Carrie (Sommer Designs), Shari (Bonnin Designs), Melissa (formerly of Beandip and Eddy), Leslie (The Paper Princess), Cristina (Bel Bacio Jewelry).

We ate wonderful food, chatted a lot and had fun trading each other's stash.

We all are sure we took home probably more than we brought in craft supplies. However, Melissa had a great idea and took a lot of the supplies that didn't get traded to a local library for their summer reading program where they do crafts as well. SO, I believe she had like 8 huge bags of supplies for kids. Yay. Gift a little, get a lot!

We hope just get together to just craft. It was so fun meeting everyone and learning more about them.

I took some pictures, but my camera isn't working like I want so I didn't get a lot. I know Carrie has some more she'll share as well as all of the other girls. We all had our cameras in hand.
Here are some more of the pictures on Flickr.

Seeking Shows and Jewelry Parties

I am currently booking shows and jewelry parties for 2007. If you know of any charity events that have vendors, handcrafted craft/fine art shows, or are interested in throwing a home or work jewelry party. Please contact me. I prefer the Orange County region at this time but I could travel into LA. Please contact me at bonnindesigns AT yahoo DOT com.
I will send more information about how the jewelry parties work, upon contact. Thanks.
