There are so many good causes in the world. Such as Beads of Courage which provides beads to children as they go through their cancer treatments. I love making Beads of Courage beads!
Instead of being able to spend my time doing that as much as I would like, I, along with 29 other hard-working, HONEST [...]

We have a giant international grocery store here. I love ethnic food so I go there occasionally, but I am also amazed at some of the things I find that you would NEVER find in the local grocery.
Come…walk with me.

Oh! Aloe Soda, sounds [...]

The internet can be a great place to learn, to “travel”, to meet people you would never have the opportunity to meet otherwise.

I’d like to give props to a few upstanding and extremely talented lampworkers and jewelry designers.
First up BetsyMn. Her beads are adorable and she is an awesome totally great member of the lampwork community. Just look at those beads!!

My walks home take me [...]

Two years and countless doctors and specialists later I now have a [...]

I plan to get one again soon to populate the new yard.
Why [...]

Yesterday was an adventure. I had to take my Greenwing macaw to the vet for his annual and to make sure that he is only going through a heavy molt and not plucking.
Taking a 3 lb bird to the vet is not always easy. He has to ride there in a [...]

I purchased the most wonderful tutorial on Etsy. It is from Stoney Marie and it is just fabulous and very worth the money!!
My problem is that I am one of those people who does not follow recipies. I kind of consider them rough guidelines. That is probably why the kids are never thrilled when I [...]
