Looks really good – I think the right photo one – though I would definitely use the fern one somewhere.

Oops meant the right photo won! I must be getting past my bedtime and hitting the wrong keys!

I know that feeling. Sleep well. I will use the other photo for sure, perhaps on Facebook LinkedIn, Pinterest…so many places on the web.

That was fun! Is your necklace made of buttons?

It is! You have a good eye. I made that necklace from 100 buttons back in 1984. Can you believe it? I even sold a few to friends at the time who liked the idea. I was so broke…it was nice to make a bit of cash. I had some buttons on hand, then bought a few more from a penny bin. It cost me less than a dollar to make it.

Cute! A wise women once said “necessity is the mother of invention” (actually attributed to Plato but they’re not sure so it could have been his mom, ha)

Indeed. Women did so much and got so little credit. Let’s go with Plato’s mom.
