Lariate???

Took me about an hour plus, but I FINALLY figured out what these things are:

Lariate split ring findings.

Eesh. At least the search is done and I found a really good deal on some. Making cellphone charms! Though I am sure they will be sold everywhere. Trying to think of a new product that could be made that isn't seen at artist alley.Wonder if one can make their own cute designed chopsticks. hmm..If anyone has any ideas shout them out!! Trying to make all my stuff now before January.

Getting your temp seller's permit is really easy and stress free (at least when I went). Anyone wondering about the process you go to your local "board of Equalization". Real friendly and they help you fill out the forum.

Hawai'i

I went on a week vacation with my family to the big island, Hawai'i. I happen upon this island the week that it decided to have a storm, and according to the locals, that hasn't happened in about 10 years. Ha.

Despite the weather it was still a lot of fun. We even had a few days of sunshine before returning. My favorite part was taking the tour to the volcano (first time!) - we had such a wonderful guide that was able to inform us of it's interesting history.

But what I will remember most is the dance, one of the most beautiful ways to share stories & history.
