I Love Summer!

Summer 2010 was great! Just too short. I wanted to share pictures I took of some beautiful butterflies in my yard. I'm really proud of the pictures I took of the butterflies on my Butterfly Weed and Lantana plants.

We took one child back to college and the other two kids will start school Wednesday. I guess that means Summer will soon come to an end :o(

I didn't make as much jewelry this season. Summer is the busy season for Oral Surgery so I spent way too much time at work. I plan to learn some new techniques and work on some new designs once things slow down a bit. I also want to improve my torch skills.

I hope you all enjoyed and continue to enjoy your Summer! I'd love to hear from you. Let me know what you did this Summer. I'll be posting some pictures of our activities as soon as I finish editing.

Enjoy your day!

Jewelry for Spring

Spring is here! I'm so happy! There is just something about the pretty flowers, the buds on the trees and the bright sunny days that cheers me up. I've been working on beach inspired jewelry and will be posting pictures soon. I'm also thinking of designs for Mother's Day. Yes, Mother's Day is around the corner. It's time to start thinking about what you would like to give to that special mom in your life or for yourself (wink-wink).

New Necklace!!

Hello There! I went to a jewelry show over the weekend and bought some much needed supplies. I bought some crackled blue agate beads and I made this necklace. The necklace is approximately 19 1/2 inches long. The crackled blue agate is accented with brushed sterling silver beads and blue swarovski crystals. This necklace is so nice because you can dress it up or dress it down. I can see this necklace with a white button down shirt and blue jeans or with a beautiful blouse and skirt. I love it! Do you?

New Jewelry!

I've been working hard and I've put some new jewelry on the website. More to come! Ahhhh, so much to do and so little time. I'm working on more jewelry for Valentines day and I'm working on some beautiful necklaces. I have some really pretty snakeskin agate that I am playing around with. It's green and brown and oh so nice to work with. I might incorporate some smokey quartz into the design as well. I'll post a picture when I'm finished.

News Flash!!! I've been busy working on a project! I have partnered with a wonderful lady and I will have some exciting news to share soon. Stay tuned....

Hope for Haiti

I want to take a moment to pray for safety and healing for the people of Haiti. I watched the news and pleas for help for the country. I watched from my warm home while eating a hot meal and sitting in my comfortable chair. I thought about how blessed we are to have happy, healthy lives with roofs over our heads and food to eat. Please stop and take a moment to give a blessing to the people of Haiti. No matter how small. If we all gave just five dollars, that would be a large amount of money. If you just gave a couple of cans of food to your local church. There are many churches that are collecting food and other basic necessities. To donate online, please visit : https://hopeforhaitinow.org or http://redcross.org
Be a ray of hope for someone in need.
