Back from the beach. It was so wonderfully fantastic. I was in the water the whole time. I love the sea! One of the best things my parents taught me was how to swim well in the ocean. I love the entire act of throwing myself into rough water and fighting it. That's what we did, just fought at it, as it spit us back out, for hours, for days. In other news I'm now interning for a magazine - pretty happy about that...and I am now an accredited jeweler through the G.I.A. Just call me Affecta, A.J.P. 
glad you had a good trip.
Yay!
On other matters .....
I love the sea, or ocean, I just try not to swallow it. If your swimming was as bad as mine you would appreciate the importance of that.
So let's see some jewellery designs then.
