Four Days...

Crikey! I haven't posted in four whole days! What's up with that, you may ask, my lovelies.

Two things.

Firstly, I had intended last week to start blogging about all the wonderful charms I received in the Art Unraveled Charm Swap instigated and managed by the talented Stacia. 25 for 26 and I actually had the nerve to think my charms might be good enough, despite my utter lack of experience making charms. I was pleased with what I produced. But after the time it took to ask and receive permission to blog about everyone's charms, I was kind of pole-axed by my own temerity to think that **I** should try to describe the charms. I never intended to critique them or make any kind of commentary of that sort on them. I just wanted to describe them and give my reaction. After all, Barbara is producing a booklet about how they were made. She was even kind enough to give me permission to use the photos she took that look oh-so-much more professional than the photos I had snapped. So then I couldn't figure out where to start.

Sort of smacked in the face by my own gall, you know? Yes, it happens occasionally, my lovelies!

So then there's the second reason.

I broke a nail.

I cannot type without my half-inch finger extenders and one of them fell victim to an over-anxious Golden Retriever who wanted out of the Jeep on Saturday. So yes, there's the real reason. One broke, one just came off and I can't get a nail appointment anywhere.

You wouldn't believe how long it has taken to type this excusame por favor of a post, my lovelies.

Pathetic, huh?
