1st camping trip of spring, euphoria!

Love this time of year!
Whenever the chance arises, hubs & I throw camping gear into the car and head out where the night sky comes alive.

This past week we were fortunate enough to have a couple of super nice days and headed for Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
We camped along the river and spent the days hiking around discovering spring.
So refreshing to see all the just budding trees, newly emerged spring flowers and spawning fish in the red river.

The nights were amazing too! Between the fire, guitar music and the sparkling stars I was in a place where my heart and soul are completely void of any negative energy. Euphoria!

Here are some pics I took. Will try to identify each and tag them if time allows.
If you know what any of the pictured flowers are leave it in the comments~Thank You!
Hope these brings some sunshine to your day,
☮ & ♥
Teri

Free Beads!

Hi dearest blog friends. Yes I know, we've neglected you for a month now.
Soon, very soon life will slow and we will get back to posting on a regular basis.
Until then, we just couldn't stand ourselves if you missed out on this!
We are closing in on 2000 sales and in appreciation to all of you who have made this possible,
we will give one lucky customer their entire order FOR FREE!
All purchases beginning with customer order #1980 through customer order #2000 will be eligible.
1-20 chance, pretty good odds!
So lickers and droolers-buy some stones.
You may be the lucky duck to get their order for free! xoxo
Amber & Teri aka The Gem Gals
P.S. customers often order multiple items, so we are counting the actual order as one...not each item in an order. So even if our 'sold' shows more than 2000 you still have a chance to be in our drawing!
