I just splurged on another Marc by Marc Jacobs a couple of weeks ago. Don’t ask me why but there is always a reason why I need another new bag added to my current collection. I always have to explain to DH that we women need a different bag for an occasion or attire.

Have you heard of picture jasper? Well, I haven’t until I stumbled upon Toby Design (http://www.tobydesign.com) who describes “Picture jasper as a type of Agate that has great bands of different colors. It’s typically found in the mountains of Eastern Oregon.” So, how does she get the pictures into the stones?
