Jewelry Show

So I'm having my first Jewelry Show in two weeks, and I'm a bit nervous. Start with the fact that I hate (and I'm using the word hate here...) hate being the center of attention and add on that this is my work being scrutinized...let's just say I'm a little on edge about it. But it is also a great opportunity to get my name out there and let people see what I'm all about. Plus, if anything actually sells, it means I get to buy more beads. Which, lets face it, is my favorite part! So wish me luck. I'll keep you posted.

Hello to All. This is a picture of my daughter taken a few weeks ago. She is already quite the little ham in front of the camera. Anyways, this picture always makes me smile, so I thought I would share. Enjoy

Something to start with

I'm not good at starting these things off, so I'll just jump right into my first post without a lot of fanfare. I just put my daughter to bed and the most amazing, wonderful feeling swept over me. In those dim nightlight shadows, my daughter fell asleep on my shoulder as she has done many nights before. But tonight, I felt at peace. I shut my eyes and just reveled in the calm. Just swaying back and forth with her resting peacefully in my arms. Its the most wonderful thing in the entire world.
