I'm a busy bee

Things have been a bit crazy the past few days but in a good way. Here's what's going on:

• Tuesday was my birthday! I'm 27 now. Thursday some friends threw me a little party complete with a cake that had an octopus.
  
• I've had the combination birthday/Yart deal going with half off shipping for jewelry and free gifts going from the 9th and going until tomorrow the 14th.
• Squidoo made some major layout changes including the introduction of themes so I've been updating my lenses to take advantage of them.
• Still preparing for the art shows coming up.
• Between replacing what's sold during my special and preparing for art show I've been busy making new jewelry including these weird specimen jar pendants.
• The show I'm doing July 11th has a $200 jewelry prize so making something special for that.
