Wear Your Heart on Your Wrist

I am so happy with this piece. It came out exactly as I envisioned. It has oxidized sterling silver, silver freshwater pearls, and soldered photo pendants. It is elegant, but neutral so it can be worn every day. It's available on ebay now by clicking the title, or on my website.

Childhood Bliss

Remember those first truly warm days when you were a child. You could barely keep yourself from the outdoors. My children and my nieces enjoyed our 85 degree day today by breaking in my nieces' new pool. It was a nice weekend.

Strong Women Rock

In my life I have had the privilege of being inspired by many strong women. From my Mom who was widowed with two girls in HS, to my BFF who left a bad marriage only to find her soul mate and live the life she had always dreamed of. Recently I have seen my friend BB have the courage to pursue her dream of having her own personal training business. Only this weekend I witnessed a group of 6 women across the street putting in a fence! Now that is GIRL POWER!

Sometimes as a Christian woman I feel that I shouldn't be such a strong woman. That I should be somehow meek and subservient. But read about the woman described in Proverbs 31. She was a strong woman! It is an empowering look at the role of women. Not only is a virtuous woman righteous in the Lord, but she is a loving wife and mother, a smart shopper, a seamstress, a gardener, a good housekeeper, and trains her children with wisdom. She had multiple businesses including buying and selling property. Her husband appreciates her and can praise her to his associates and friends because she is worthy of praise.

To honor all strong women this week, I am offering a special "Strong Women Rock" bracelet on ebay, as well as FREE SHIPPING on any photo jewelry purchased on ebay OR my website before May 5th. Please use coupon code STRONGWOMEN in checkout. Click here to see Proverbs 31 in entirety: Click the title to see the bracelet on ebay.

I'm a Soccer Mom!

I admit it, I'm a soccer mom. I love going to watch DS play soccer. This weekend we had two games. He scored two goals in the second game! I was so proud. :) In this photo he is in the blue jersey. He was kicking a corner. I love how the ball and the opposing player are caught mid-air.

I promise I won't do any more of these!

You Are Impressionism

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways. You tend to focus on color and movement in art. For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail. You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature.

What Art Movement Are You?

This one was true! Normally I don't put a lot of stock in these, but this definitely fits. :)
