I also finished a vest:

Jeri your beads are amazing! Very nice vest too. BTW how was the pineapple?
Such a pretty lady in the photo, wearing such a pretty vest and such a pretty beaded ball around her neck!
Oh, lucky me, to be the owner of one of those beautiful Jeririgged beaded beauties!
And I am the lucky gal who know wears one of your gorgeous buckyballs. I LOVE mine. Thank you Jeri for the gorgeous birthday present. Your sweaters are magnificent
