Hi Joyce, yah, I'll send out advertizements when I have them ready. Yes, I 
do make different sizes for different sized dogs. I am still perfecting my 
dog ropes. I should have it really nailed down before August gets done since 
I am making my first round to sell in the Oregon State Fair which starts at 
the end of August. I can't say "this month" since it's the last day of 
July(LOL!). Speaking of dog ropes, I have to do a bit of research to find 
out more about the market for them. Do you all on this list know of any 
markets for them? I saw several of them on Amazon.com when I was looking up 
the prices that they normally sell. This will help me out and maybe in the 
very near future, it will help you out in the end too.
Kendra

>>> Mission is completed:  the one week  trek to southern Ohio to do our
>>> GIRLZ ART ADVENTURE in the  woods.  I came back a very happy "camper."
>>>
>>>  Completed the 8 1/2 x 11 inch encrusted bead work piece I had been
>>>  working on for a couple of months. After that, I started to do the
>>>  encrusted bead worked talisman pendant.  It is just loaded with  pearls
>>> and stunning Swarovski crystals - the REAL  STUFF.
>>>
>>> After I get the pendant done - then I can do  the Spiral Rope with
>>> Honey Wax Opal Chips and Japanese Seed Beads  that will be attached to
>>> the pendant. It is gonna be a show  stopper. Breath taking!
>>>
>>> The big bonus from our art  camp was the visits we had from a stray cat
>>> who came to beg from  us - she arrived like a ghost at 7 am one morning
>>> as I opened our  door to begin my beading that day.  We gained her
>>> trust  through FOOD, and she eventually led my daughter to her nest of
>>>  FOUR little secrets - oh, gosh, what to do?  How could we go  home
>>> knowing there was a mother and four babies hidden away there  with no
>>> food source and no water anywhere - and nobody  around.  Yes, we
>>> eventually got them all and brought them  home - they are here in my
>>> home now resting up from the dramatic  rescue - the mother is wild so it
>>> was very traumatic for  her.
>>>
>>> I am happy to say they ALL are using the litter  boxes - and the mother
>>> is letting me pet her!  I guess our  next move will be to get them all
>>> to the vets in a few days -  after I can finally get to pick up the
>>> mother, that is!  I  have named her Effie Pearl. Her four little fluffy
>>> children  are:
>>> Opal; big Boss; Peaches; and Diamond Back.  I will keep  Effie Pearl
>>> and Opal, and will be finding homes for the other  three when the time
>>> is right for that.
>>>
>>> Our  GIRLZ ARt Camp Adventure was wonderful. We hiked in the mountains,
>>>  walked trails, explored caves, (some) did the 10 zip lines (not  me);
>>> did exercises and cardio in the evenings, walked up and down  a very
>>> steep mountain hill ever day, and more. We all came home  very
>>> happy.This is my kind of vacation - beading every day for  hours,
>>> mornings and nights, and laughing till we cried with  friends over silly
>>> and crazy things.
