Happy Thanksgiving !!

Sorry I haven't been on here posting. I wanted to wish you and your families a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving holiday.

Did this this weekend. I am not sure what the stone is, it looks kind of like lapis but with white (crystal) in it. I bought it at the Pasadena Bead & Design Show which is coming again... in Feb I think...! It was fun... I love doing bead embroidery... Took a break from the belt buckles until I decide which buckle blank I am going to use. I have a friend that asked me to make him a USC buckle.... maybe I will... of course it won't be licensed... LOL

This is my turtle "Mr. Turtle" he has gotten so big that he is pulling himself up on the edge of the tank... I had to lower the water level... This is what he did this morning when I went to go say hello to them... He can stand on the bottom and stick his head up still but I don't think he can climb out now... His female is Cabby (Cabochon) she is so much smaller than he is. She was out of the tank for a few weeks as she was recovering from a minor thing but had to be in dry tank. I think he grew even more during that time... Funny to think that they came home almost a year ago in an ice cream cup and were so tiny that you could put first finger/thumb together and thats the size they were...
