Yay! Thanks Marti!

So glad that worked out for you. I make them every year and when I peel that skin off in two seconds I wonder why I ever peeled a sweet potato. Plus I think they taste better - more of a roasted flavor rather than watered down boiled potatoes.

I love posts like this!!! How nice to have been given something so useful and that it's still up and running. I too have been given very thoughtful gifts......yeast from Costco when yeast was unavailable early in the pandemic and a sleek pair of kitchen shears! I love our CF community.

Yes-- three of my bracelets have the bar bead. I don't have any issues. The arc is perfect for me but I have large bones. I wear mine with the bar on the bottom but my friends at the boutique and my sister wear theirs on top (they all stack them with multiple bracelets). I took a few quick photos so you can see how it lays on my wrist (which again-- is big) I know @Sueb20 is more petite than I am and I think she has one with a bar bead also-- so maybe wait for her response? I prefer all beads -- but the silver bar is very pretty also. I will also say that my absolute favorites are the longer chains with magnetic clasps that can be worn as a necklace or wrapped and worn as a bracelet. They don't wrap well on my big ol wrists but they look great on others. I wear them as necklaces. ETA .. no inspirational notes. Some of the listings include details on the stones and their meaning and "powers".. and some include the inspiration for the design. I have copied some of them into my own personal notes.
