I just got back from spending three days away, with no phone or email contact. It was SO nice to have that break, and just spend some quality time with family and friends in a beautiful place. The only bummer about the trip was that we were close to one of the many fires in Northern California, so some of the time the air was pretty smoky.

Still, three days away from traffic, cell phones, and computers is a great way to refresh. I feel energized and I’m hoping to make time for jewelry making over the next couple weeks.
