You're soooo welcome, and I can't wait to hear what you've chosen!  <3  For something so large, of course, it takes careful consideration...if it's not fun, it's probably going to be more of a chore, so you really do need to pick what you like! 
The bracelet and earrings sound interesting (though certainly not as exciting as a photo)...feel free to post pics!

Thanks for the upgrade I'm sure it will work great. Right now I'm still trying to channel that just gotta do picture, it's not there yet, but it's coming soon (I hope). In the mean time I'm keeping busy making a bracelet and a pair of earring. Nothing too exciting . . . anticipating my next inspiration.
Have a great weekend!
 

100 hours...I'm so impressed...I can't imagine completing something like that in "only" 100 hours, particularly not something that looks that great!  <3
That type of frame doesn't sound familiar, but it reminds me of the shadow box frames, because of the depth.  Would those work, or are they too deep for beadwork?
It sounds like your mom will be so happy to get such a gorgeous picture...definitely can't blame her!  <3
Thank you...so glad you'll be  posting about what your next project will be!  <3  I love to hear about what you're doing.
I'm not sure if you've been upgraded...I've let Terry (our programmer) know to upgrade you if you haven't already been upgraded...maximum count is 300 stitches (beads) across, if that helps.

Thanks for the compliments. This took about 100 hours to complete.
I have used a frame that was fairly common about 20 or more years ago. Who knows, it might even be popular now. At the inside there is an off white 3/8"ish trim, then a gold trim edge followed by a 2"ish beige fabric, another gold trim edge, and finally a 2 1/2 " medium-dark brown wood frame. It may sound complicated but I'm sure you would have seen something similar many times. It was/is commonly used on oil and acrylic paintings. Oh yea, I also have it glassed in.
I agree with you, I really like my sea scenes better, maybe that's why I'm giving this to my mom
Don't know yet what my next project will be, but I'll be keeping you updated.
BTW is it possible to have a larger bead count in the wizard, I have been toying with the idea of a much larger picture, and don't really want to try to do it in sections.
Thanks
 

I can see why you're pleased with the results...it turned out soooo beautifully!  <3  It's not only the perfect picture, perfect composition and colors, but it also turned out perfectly in beads!
Your mom is going to love this!
How long did it take to make this one?  What do you do for framing?
Since you seem to like nature (which is always gorgeous - a "can't miss," IMO!), how about a sunset or waterfall?  A beautiful field with flowers?  I have to admit your water scenes are my favorites so far...but that's just because I have a particular preference for water, particularly the sea.  Really, everything you've done thus far has been amazing!  <3
