I Love Resin!

I so enjoy working with Resin. I taught a class on how to pour resin and prepare your materials and I always put together some besels for myself so we can use up all the resin we mix. I've got some ideas on what I want to do with these pendants and I can't wait to start working on them. Since I live in Oklahoma, the city is shut down due to 18" of snow fall so I guess I have no excuse on not making some jewelry pieces. I've also make a copper stamped necklace and I'll try to post that soon!

4 Days Off!

Four days off.....Thursday and Friday due to a winter storm. I think I left the house twice..so cozy inside when there's snow covering the ground. And of course my son had a blast with no school, lots of snow and a new sled! I did work on some resin for my next class I'm teaching at the Beadles! So much fun!

Learning New Things!

Boy, time has gotten away from me. I haven't made one piece of jewelry this year, but I did teach a riveting class this last Saturday and the class was so fun and the girls did such an awesome job. I'm going to take some of the pictures to the Beadles to show off their work! What I have been doing is working on my new camera and photoshop elements. I'm overwhelmed with it all but I'm starting a photography class Monday evening and I'm doing a Photoshop Elements free mini-skinny class by Kim Klassen that is helping me learn photoshop elements. Having fun, learning a lot but haven't been posting. I'll try to do better! Oh, and my husband had a completely new knee replacement so he's keeping me busy as well!

Merry Christmas to All!

I hope everyone is having a very Merry CHRISTmas! We're enjoying the falling snow and visiting with family! Nothing like a White Christmas!

Koi Pond Finished

We finally got the koi pond finished......although it looks somewhat ugly now that every living plant is dead I'm sure next spring it will look great. Now we have to go pick out little koi babies!

Christmas is Coming!

I honestly can't believe it's December 5th. I had two open houses within a couple weeks and was so busy that Christmas just sort of slipped up. I haven't even begun to do any Christmas shopping yet. Have some ideas but better get them into action. Here's a picture of Sam being his silly self while decorating our Christmas tree. He is so much fun, I can't imagine Christmas without the excitement of a child and without the birth of Jesus!

Two Days Until OPEN HOUSE

Well, ready or not my party is here in two days! I get so excited beforehand that I can hardly think of anything else. Here are some latest pieces that I'll show.

Gearing up for a Party!

I'm getting ready for my open house party on November 18th. I've got most invitations in the mail and a few e-mails sent out. Time to show some more goodies showing at the Party:
