Busy bee


This is how I felt on Tuesday, as I was feeling rather ambitious and assertive. I decided to search out more local shops that would be interested in my jewelry. I spent the day driving, walking, promoting, and applying for a couple of jobs in there also.
I did manage to get an appointment with one upscale clothing boutique, and a couple of new leads for other shops that I did not know of.
Yesterday, I finished another pair of boro lampwork earrings, a little bit different from what I usually make, and a necklace, brass, that I mentioned for the TEAM FILIGREE March challenge. Much design thought went into this piece!




Much work is still to be done! I need to post this necklace on the filigree blog, update FLICKR, and add this items to my Etsy shop, plus new supplies in my supply shop, make more jewelry, etc, etc.

AND I must now pick the winner of the JOYCE MEYER GIVEAWAY for her book, "I dare you". O.K, I've mixed up all the names, and the winner is: "MJ". I will contact you for your mailing address. I hope you enjoy reading this inspiring book!
Thanks to all who participated.
Check back often, as I plan to do another JOYCE MEYER GIVEAWAY.

I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

January 2015 Nature Box subscription picks

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes

Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life edited by Bryan Curtis

What a great book of inspirational quotes by many famous people. This is a compilation of pages and pages of wisdom from authors, presidents, sports figures, entrepreneurs, cultural leaders, and the like. I really enjoyed reading this book. The quotes are not just inspirational to professional people in the business world, but also, they grasp the sense of good values, and positive traits that all persons should strive for in their lives. Some of the quotes make you think and ponder over them. The book is presented in a non-descriptive cover, subtle, yet attractive. It is an easy read, not overly stuffed with nonsense, or too much content. You could read a page a day for inspiration, or daily meditation. It is not a biblical book at all, in my opinion, just great reading. I would definitely recommend this book to all who wish to aspire to a greater level of success, whether it is in a business situation, or not. This would make a great gift book as well. Maybe a coffee table book even.
