Truly . . . ‘How’ve You Bean?’ I haven’t blogged in a while. Our family went through some sickness, but we are back in the swing. We are working on taking care of ourselves.

Artistic Christmas Gifts
Recently I attended a boutique/craft fair and met the sweetest artist, Mindy Thompson. While she and I favor different mediums, we had plenty to talk about and chatted for quite some time. I’ve used resin (her medium of choice) on smaller scales for jewelry. To see her work on larger scales was so wonderful.
