I started making jewelry because I wanted to learn something new. I had been working with my husband until he sold his businesss; and I wanted something of my own that where I could be creative. I also wanted something that I could take with me whether I was headed to Florida for the winter or returning to Pennsylvania. So it had to be pretty portable. I have to say for me anyway, it has become very addictive. I have taken some classes, I continue to read a lot and experiment with designs. With the help of my daughter attending several local craft and art shows and renting space at a consignment shop and trying to create our own website it has become a challenge.

This past weekend I was visiting with my old neighbor at her home in Michigan. September is very nice in the Grand Rapids area, warm days and cooler nights.

Leading up to the weekend, I had been preparing at home.  Making sure my truck had a full tank of...

...adding to the existing 4 legged creatures could be closer than I realize.  No, it's not Mushi or Christmas Cookie or even Trevor.  They are two little dogs that were rescued from a back yard breeder.  Now I'm only taking one because my husband would blow a gasket if I came home with both of them.  Although it could be tempting.  Here is a picture their foster mom sent me.  Right now their names are Meatball and Taco but as I  will be changing his name.  I'm leaning towards Trevor or Tanner but that too could change. So on Friday Colby and I will be taking a road trip, 2 hours west of our Pennsylvania home, to meet these little fur kids and see, hopefully, which one he gets along with.  You never know he may not like either of them.  So remember if you thinking of adding a pet to your home and not sure if you want the puppy route, look into adopting.  There are so many pets out there that need furever homes and got to where ...
