But, you won't find any pictures of his abs here.
Just his head in a RAINBOW of colors.Today was a school disctrict-wide furlough day.
Good moms all over Provo took their kids on a fall adventure and then out for ice cream cones.
Me? I let mine watch t.v. and play with the neighbors while I beaded it up.
I went to the Gem Faire on Saturday, and boy howdy, I bought me some beads!
I spent $9.00 and made two necklaces, a bracelet and fifteen pairs of earrings.
You likey? Pick a pair, and I'll give them to you. I've done it before, people. I'll do it again.
I'll give preferential treatment to my relatives, but I think there's plenty to go around, friends. As far as I can tell, there are four people who check this blog on a regular basis.
Isn't this model a thing of beauty? This picture is to help give you a frame of reference for size.
A note on quality: Only the cruddiest of materials were involved here. I think the beads are plastic, no silver was harmed in the making of these pieces, and the pins are already tarnishing.
Oh my heck, these lemon ones and these blue ones are so flipping cute!

I like your blog so much I just sit at my computer waiting for you to update it. I've been waiting a looong time. Thank heavens you finally came through for me!
I've never heard of the Gem Faire, but it sounds elegant what with the extra-e ending and all. I love anything with an extra e, including but not limited to the Provo Towne Centre, Lookout Pointe apartments, and Olde English.
My only regret is that I can't wear those sky-blue beauties. You know I don't have pierced ears, right? Am I the ONLY person you know who doesn't? That's what makes me so mysterious and intriguing!
You know my best joke will be a BYU-Utah joke, of course.
A lady is buying a house, so she's going through the house telling the contractor what color she wants each room.
She goes into the first room and says, "I want this room blue." The contractor yells out the window, "green side up!". She is confused but doesn't think anything of it.
They walk into the next room and she says she wants this room yellow. The contractor then yells out the window, "green side up!" Now she is really confused so she says, "I said I wanted this room yellow. Why are you yelling 'green side up'?" The contractor then says, "We have some U of U students out front laying sod."
You want another, don't you. Okay.
Kyle Whittingham, clearly upset about the blue dynasty to the south getting all the national acclaim, goes to a BYU practice and asks Bronco Mendenhall, "Coach, how is it that year after year after year you manage to have such great football teams? What's your secret?"
Bronco responds by calling Jake Heaps over. "Jake," Bronco asks, "who's your father's brother's nephew?" Heaps answers, "Why, coach, that's easy. It's me."
Bronco turns to Whittingham and says, "That's the secret, Kyle. A smart quarterback. You've got to have a smart quarterback."
Thinking he's finally got all the tools he needs, Whittingham returns to the Ute work-out. He promptly calls over Jordan Wynn. "Wynn! Who's your father's brother's nephew?"
Wynn looks perplexed, thinks a minute and says, "Coach, can I get back to you after practice on that one?" Whittingham (disgusted) says, "OK."
During practice, Wynn goes to Brian Johnson. "Hey, Coach Whit just asked me the weirdest question. Who's your father's brother's nephew?" Says Johnson: "Duh! That's easy. It's me!"
After practice, Wynn catches up with Whittingham: "Coach, I think I've got it. My father's brother's nephew is Brian Johnson."
Whittingham (angry): "No, No, NO! You idiot!! It's Jake Heaps!!!"
PLEASE PASS the pink and orange skulls!!! Woot! Dang beth. Your ability to multiply and replenish knows no bounds! First children, and now this. You're an earring makin' maniac. My latest joke comes from Junie, who was complaining about how she bumped her head every time she got into bed. "These are not bunk bends... These are BONK BEDS!!", she said. Glad you had a good time beadin' it up!
I have no jokes. I'm too tired. And - how do I put this delicately? I am not *ahem* fond of sculls, even though I own one. So you can save whatever I would have begged off you for one of the fam. Actually, I wouldn't mind trading my choice for something that you make to eat. Like that hamburger and fries that was made entirely of things that would make me fat? Yeah. Do I count as one of the four, by the way? Can I?
Oh my gosh! I looked at all of them and kept saying "I like those. No! those! noo no no! THOSE!!!" They are all masterpieces. I will happily buy the nacho libre color scheme ones, the tourqoise skulls with the red beads on the rings. Also the white skulls with the red beads on the bottom are fantastic (those are my second choice like say if somebody were to already have been gifted the nacho libre ones). Beth you are the durn best beader I know next to Susan Green herself.
Kristen, you are one of the FOUR! You're lucky to be called so.
Marilyn, best jokes, by far! Thanks for your comments. I'm assuming you don't want the skeleton bracelet, then?
Also, my niece Alix called dibs on the red and white ones.
Do I count as one of the four, you fantastic beader you? I love the green skullies.
I'm trying to think of a good joke, but Marilyn's marvelous football jokes knocked all the good ones out of my head.
Here's my standby classic though.
"What's brown and sticky?"
"A STICK!"
Cu-ute! I will now shed a tear for my tardiness. You are so fun and crafty. One day, if I ever grow up... I want to be just like you. And that's no joke!
I haven't yet read what everyone else wants but I want the white skulls with the red/orange bead. You know how I love ma skulls! Or the turquoise ones with the hoop and bead on top. Or anyone of them.
Fab Beffy!!!!!
Along the same line as Ginna's joke:
What's red and not there?
No tomatoes!
Marilyn them jokes is real gems!
Oh dear Megan and I want the same ones. Remember who feeds you on Sunday! Just kidding! I could be happy with any of these cuties!
Well, I officially make Blog Reader #8. I love your blog!! You are so funny and so creative! I am not one of the lucky four, but nice handiwork!! I'm actually not a skull person, either, but I love the other ones. So darn cute.
I love Marilyn's jokes!! My brain is still too asleep to share one of my own. ;)
Crap! I commented yesterdee and now it isn't there! Well I love that multiple colored ones in the first picture:orange, blue, pink and red.
I forgot a joke. How about this?
Knock Knock
Who's There?
Horsp.
Horsp-who?
I love me any joke that has poo in it.
I also love Junie's Bonk bed one. clever.
I figured I'm too late, but just want you to know there are more than four people that read your blog!
I DO want the bracelet but assumed it was too cute for you to give up. Isn't it? That's like, 5/8 of your bead budget. But yes . . . if I wear it will the YW think I'm cool?
Marilyn, yes, they will think you're cool, yes, you're totally taking more than your faire (tee hee) shaire of my beading budget, and yes, you are the only person I know who doesn't have her strankin ears pierced.
strankin
By the way, did you all think I was only giving earrings away to the first four people? Because I'm trying to unload EVERY pair. C'mon, people, stroke my ego and pick a pair.
Hmmm, I thought I commented again here, but maybe I'm just a crazy person. I'm serious about the green ones, the ones with little yellow beads on the bottom. LOVE THEM!
