Hello!I just wanted to show you what I'm working on this week.Pretty colorful feathers don't ya think?I love the yellow myself, can't wait to make them in gold and yellow.I am making long and short ones and I should have some listed this weekend.Enjoy the sunshine.Have a great day!!
Hello my friends. I hope you are having a truly relaxing weekend.I my friends am at the end of my work week.Today is day six for me and we have spring break here so crazy would be an understatement.I never realized how many people like Margarita's .LOL And do you no how many different Margarita's there are?Oh yeah maybe some of you don't no,I work full time at Buffalo Nickel Bar and Grill,was supposed to be part time till the sales pick up for my hubby(car sales) and my jewelry,but my part time is 5 or 6 days a week.LOL The waitress part is easy for me bar tending has been a challenge,been doing it a year now and I still learn a new drink everyday.I get to meet some interesting people also. I have been working out more, an hour a day at least on my Karate.I have karate camp next month.I pay thirty dollars to get my ass kicked all day, and the night trails till midnight part is scaring the hell out of me.LOL .I can't slack off now if I want to be ready. I've recently read that to keep up a great blog you have to post daily. WOW, like I have time for that.LOL I barely have time for my workouts in between my day job and my night job and my family.I've spent the last couple days thinking about it.Trying to figure out away to work it in to my schedule.I belong to teams and guilds and I haven't been able to dedicate enough time to them.So I sit here thinking what can I do away with.I really like writing and I enjoy sharing but I have to spend more time working out because ,I have to go to camp in three weeks and I realllly don't want to get hurt.I hate pain.8) I already get up early and go to bed late.And as I get up at 5am on a Sunday to write this before I rush off to work I realize It's just not going to work for me.So if it takes posting everyday to have a great blog well I guess mine is just going to be a good blog because at best I can do three posts a week.I am going to try some new things here though.I am working on some new Idea's now.I'm going to share some of those awesome drink recipes and maybe some Texas style recipe's as well.And I have a couple other surprises for you . I hope you come back next week and see what I've done with the place.And soon when the economy picks up and I can work less at my day job then I will post daily and you will recognize my Great blog and hopefully it will be one of your favorites.I hope you are not yawning right now.LOL Have a great restful Sunday and thanks for taking time for me my friends come back soon!

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!

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!
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.'
