Is that your b-day stone? And how is the peanut? Actually, current and future peanuts? LOL....are there new photos from Christmas on facebook?

[Amy Winette]

Nope, amethyst is my birthstone, but I like blue better :) The peanuts are good, Natalie's 1st bday is this week and the new one is 14 weeks along (into second trimester).

[jerseygirl67]

Thanks for calling me, and getting me out of Walmart Hell. LOL

And look at you now, all engaged and stuff!

Girl I am tickled to death for you, and I will get to Jersey for the wedding if I have to walk!

Hey Jersey, my cuz is getting married in the B. Virgin Islands before fest. She was at fest with us last year. Anyways, she's making a "tickle trunk" on the dance floor filled with pearly white beads, white and blue (her colors) boas, funny sunglasses, tiaras for the girls and hats for the boys. This is so we can play dress up during the dancing part of the reception. Not sure what your plans are for the reception but we thought that would be a blast! She's getting the beads from Beads By the Dozen in New Orleans....search white beads and you'll find quite a few.....still so excited for you!!!
