Chemistry Final

My junior year of high school, my chemistry class was an absolute mess...well, I certainly didn't understand any of it...AT ALL.   That spring, for our final exam I surprised even myself...and showed up.    I sat down, pencil in hand, and had only one thing to "write" after my name.   None of it had anything to do with chem.   Instead, I designed my spring collection...and answered each question with a piece.   
Question #1 watermelonwatermelonwatermelon is what?   
 Freshwater Pearls, Peach Quartz, and an antique Cameo.
#1) A is?
Fifty seven inches in length.
#2) A is?
Light Mauve 5-6 mm Button Pearls.
#3) A is?
Rutile Peach Quartz   7-8mm  Ovals.
EXTRA CREDIT #4) A is?
An antique Cameo pin, on the side, circa 1930's.


My parents have/well, they had/no idea.   The teacher saw me, shook his head, and that was that.   I failed...or did I?

An introduction to me.

Dear Melli Movers and Shakers...
          I've never had any "blog" before.   It's odd because I do actually have so very much to say!   The word though, "BLOG"...reminds me of ... well, nothing pretty.   Although I am a follower of "beauty comes from within"...the word "blog" just makes my skin crawl.   I believe, beauty on the outside can only manifest itself  from the raw force that is our own personality on the inside.    So then, I've decided to give this whole "blog/blogger/blogging idea a shot.   Not in the head I hope.   
           My name is Melli D.   I design jewelry.   I'm 25 and I will be for at least the next ten years.  I am passionate about what I do, about those I love, and about making the world smile as best I can.   
           So, tell me...who are you?
Quite Kindly, Melli D
