not her wedding day!

2012 AGTA Spectrum Award-Winner!

We always enjoy visiting Tucson in February to shop for gorgeous gemstones... but attending the fabulous AGTA Spectrum Gala to accept an award makes the trip even more special!

Last night, Pamela and I got all dolled up to attend the event (I wish I'd snapped a picture!) Even though she wasn't feeling very well all day, Pamela looked radiant as she was presented with her award in the super-competitive category of Business/Day Wear! (I shot a quick video of the moment, I'll try to attach it later.)

Stay tuned for pics of Pamela's gemstone finds that may become next year's Spectrum winning designs...
