computer schmomputer!!!!!

so I've been working on the shopping page for my website, www.semipreciousbeadsalon.com and it continually shows me how UNtechnological(is that a word?) I am!!!!
thank goodness for my fabulously artistic and talented friend Mitzi Baker, who designed her own site,www.mitzibakerstudio.com and has generously spent hours helping me.
It still has a few adjustments to be made but I think it's just about there! here are a few of the items on the site. what do you think???

no strings...

I went with some friends tonight to see the new movie "No Strings Attached". The original title was "Friends With Benefits", which I prefer. I like both Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher but I wasn't expecting much. What a pleasant surprise! It was funny and smart(mostly) and sexy and sweet. It asks the question, "can sex friends be best friends?". I think the answer is most likely no....but it could be fun finding out!

party!!!!!

at SemiPrecious we offer design parties, where guests hang out, have a drink and design.
it's so much fun to see what everyone chooses, and we love making the pieces for them!

this past Saturday we had a very special woman host her 50th birthday party at SemiPrecious and she did something amazing...she invited 25 friends and gave each woman a $50 credit toward the design of her piece. Karen, you are AMAZING!!!!!

reload...

for some reason January has not been the fresh, exciting start to the new year that I was hoping for so I've decided that today, January 14 is going to be my personal New Year's Day!

who said you can't start over????

January birthstone...garnet

One glance at the deep red seeds nestled inside of a pomegranate fruit explains why the word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus", meaning "grain" or "seed."  This name was given to the garnet because of its close resemblance to the succulent pomegranate seed

Wearing one of these beautiful gemstones is said to enhance one's attractiveness and popularity. 

I'll drink to that!!!

the best burger...

there are a lot of things I'm thankful for but one of the yummiest is that my little shop, SemiPrecious, is just a couple of doors away from the best burger in town! Father's Office is known mostly for their huge beer selection but they also have one of the top burgers anywhere!

I have to be careful because the burger is so good that I could easily order two!!!!

more pink...

feeling a little pink...

I know it's still January well, early January but I can't stop thinking about pink.

I'm not usually a pink girl but it's just such a happy, vibrant color and it's perfect for a little mid-winter pick me up. Add in a little gold and you're bright and on trend!

one of my favorite restaurants...

a friend is celebrating her birthday next weekend and I'm so excited that we're going to Gjelina!

it's one of my favorites...east side or west side. if you haven't tried it you should put it on the list!

new year...new look!

I've had my website for a couple of years now and have never really loved it. cut to-my amazing friend Mitzi came to my-and SemiPrecious' rescue! Mitzi helped me re work the SemiPrecious website and now I truly love it!!!!! the shopping page is not up just yet but we're working on it. thanks Mitzi!!!!!
