Income Taxes and Etching Silver

I have my personal income tax appointment tonight . It's never my favorite appointment, but I think I have everything packed to take with me. It might take a little bit to find each individual piece of paper, and I'll be going through paperwork in the morning before I open the store (it is helpful to be able to sort documents and papers on longer counters than I have available at home). Even though I know I'm getting money back, I still hate this. Crazy, I know :-)

I'm working on a new piece for etching. Last week was the first time that I had ever etched silver and I loved the way that it turned out. Now I want to etch more of it before my etchant goes bad. I've been told that it has a short shelf life, and it wasn't an inexpensive chemical. So I began working on the graphics last night and I'll try and have something ready to etch on Wednesday.

And here are two photographs for items up for this week's Beading For A Cure fundraising auctions. I encourage you to take a look through this week's auctions, place a bid, and continue watching the auctions weekly until early May so that we can raise as much money as possible to help erradicate colon cancer.
