I have been working on some rings and things.LOL Eye lanyards and a few other things I have been playing around with in my spare time.I will be adding many new items soon for Spring.Here are a couple of pictures,What do ya think?The wire wrapped rings are fun I have made several Sterling Silver but I have ordered some non Tarnish wire I can't wait to get it.Of course I would love to have a little more time to work on jewelry my head is full of designs.More money would be nice to.LOL I would love to do some stone set rings but money is tight maybe in the Spring when things pick up 8) So what have you been up to?
I love Christmas!I really love the Christmas Spirit more than anything.I wish it would last all year!I miss my loved ones and wherever they are I hope they feel the Christmas spirit to.The day after Christmas always leaves me reflecting on the year passed.We made it YEAH! It was tough financially and emotionally.but we made it 8) Now I am preparing myself for 2011.Do you make New Year resolutions?One of mine is to focus on Karate and get into good shape.I also have many ideas to grow my business.I have ordered some silver wire.I am adding rings to my inventory and eye lanyards.I am also thinking about adding a supply shop.And my Ebay sales are taking off so seems smart to focus on that also.I have a few ideas on making a better Blog also.I want to add more tutorials and recipes and Texas business reviews and I think some back road stories may bring some readers my way.I would love to hear any ideas you may have also.With all that said the most important thing I want to do in 2011 is spend more time with my family and friends.I hope I can keep the Christmas Spirit until 2012 rolls around with a new batch.LOL What are you doing to prepare for a Happy New year?I want to wish you a Happy new year filled with Blessings and Loved Ones!
Jesse and I had an absolutely Great Ride yesterday.Started out with breakfast in Kerrville and just got better.High temperature was 69 degrees PERFECT! I had my lairs it was really cold in the morning maybe 3? We had sunshine on are side the whole day as you can see from these pictures it was AWESOME!!I love the Texas windy roads,a little dangerous but worth slowing down for 8)We did stop by Lost Maples State park.If you have never been you really need to take a hike through it.We have many times it is a great family trip.Today however it's all about the ride for us a couple more back roads and scenic stops and we were safely home bound.I am always thankful to Jesse and Joleen for another safe ride!I have to tell ya folks there isn't any better way to spend a beautiful Texas winter day!
Good morning my friends!I guess your wondering what I am doing up so early.Well I couldn't sleep in on my Sunday off and waste precious time so I have been listing items and then I realized.It's my day off. LOL I think maybe I need to slow down and Count my Blessings.I have so many.I have two great jobs,great kids,a wonderful husband and that is just the beginning.Today I am hoping to go riding with my best friend.We need a day away together.He works to hard!Then I will get back to work.I have already been reflecting on this year and yeah we are almost done with it.I can't say I'll be happy to see it go,it has been a really hard one for us but it certainly could have been worse.My intuition tells me 2011 will be much better.I already have a few things in mind to help make it so. Any ways I just Want to wish you all a Merry Christmas this week.I hope you can take the time to count your Blessings too ,and enjoy the rest of this year!Thanks for being such a great supportive friend!!

POOR PEOPLE ?
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, 'How was the trip?'
'It was great, Dad.'
'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.
'Oh yeah,' said the son.
'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.
The son answered:
'I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, 'Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.'
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
'Life is too short and friends are too few.'
