Time to unlurk
Good morning everyone,
My name is Lisa Caryl, and I guess it's about time I unlurk on your ng. I've been here for a few weeks, enjoying the wonderful eye candy and the informative posts. I live in central Iowa, and I'm fortunate enough to live not too terribly far from a bead shop. I'm primarly a quilter- designing, making and teaching traditional and crazy quilts for the last 15 years. Over the last couple of years or so, I've been incorporating more and more beads into my crazy quilt work. That, of course, has led to me wanting to make my own jewelry, too. I've made a few simple things, and I've just gotten my very first lampwork bead in the mail, (from an auction on justbeads.com-bead by Ginger Atkins) I can hardly wait to have the time to play with my new aquisition! I have a few scans of things that I've made for myself and for friends on my picturetrails page. The addy is www.picturetrails.com/quiltygurl if you care to have a look. I don't sell anything there, just post pics of things I've made. This morning, I was doing some figuring on a calulator, and I figured out that if I give up my usual coffee and breafast sandwich at McDonald's, I'll save over $350 a year. I bet you can figure out what I'll be spending my savings on! ;-) Have a wonderful day everyone, -- Lisa Caryl http://www.picturetrails.com/quiltygurl remove the obvious to reply |

Hi Lisa! First you cut out McDonalds. Then it's chocolate. Ok, maybe not
chocolate. But you WILL find yourself skimping in other areas to allow for bead purchases. According to some of the research I've done, the typical bead person spends $840 a year on beads.

Hi Tink,
Oh mah gawsh...give up chocolate??!! Never! I MUST have my daily dose of Hershey's Nuggets with toffee and almonds. I can see where I could get into a bit of trouble $$ wise, as I'm still occasionally buying fabric. But hey, what's a dollar for anyway, right? ;-) -- Lisa http://www.picturetrails.com/quiltygurl remove the obvious to reply "Tink" wrote in message ... Hi Lisa! First you cut out McDonalds.

Thank you Margie,
Nope, not going to give up on coffee, that's for sure! I can time a pot to be ready by the time I get home in the morning. I recently *made* myself go check the calorie content of the McD's sandwich that I like to get. It's over 400 calories!!! I figure that I'll be doing my bead stash AND my waistline a service by giving it up! Lisa, sipping that fine coffee from Margie.... "MargieK" wrote in message ...

Very nice quilts but I love your amulet bags especially the one made with the kit! Don't give up the coffee just make it at home... /brews a fresh pot for Lisa -- Margie http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/mira...ptsanddesigns/ http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=upeggedme |
