Mamma Mia!

I was elated and amazed to wake up this morning, turn on the computer and see that I had 6 comments posted to my Blog! How exciting seeing I had only mentioned it in 2 forums and on the etsy.com site. The internet is truly amazing! Thank you all for your comments.
But, I digress, referring to the title of this blog, my good friend Sue and I went to see Mamma Mia last night. What a uplifting and fun movie - especially to see with a girl friend. Meryl Streep was fabulous and I had no idea that she could sing so beautifully and her daughter Sophia ( played by Amanda Seyfried) has the voice and eyes of an angel. We thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! I didn't realize how much I enjoyed the music of Abba. In fact, if you had asked me before hearing about Mamma Mia, I would have said "who?"! I've been wanting to see this play since it came out on Broadway, but the movie was much more attainable and alot less expensive to say the least!
Sue and I also went out to celebrate birthday which was a week ago. She's a dear friend whom I've know for about 20 years and she is one of my biggest fans of my jewelry. I had just made a new pendant called a Pipa Knot from a tutorial by De Cors Handmades who is listed as one of my muses. She is adapting chinese knots in jewelry using wire and is a very talented designer! When it was finished I knew that it would be just the piece that Sue would like! Happily, from her reaction, I don't think I was wrong.
