Now I'm going to make you all wait until the end of this post before I announce the winner of my giveaway. But first let me thank all of you who participated and recommended books! Well, I finally got some time this weekend to play with my new camera. Boy it has alot of features and does alot! I still haven't mastered it, but have a feel for it at this point in time. I must say that I will probably never use all the features of this camera, but it does have many features that would serve well to anyone who travels alot, takes photos indoor, outdoor, at night, underwater even! Just to refresh, it's a Sony Cyber shot . So here's a couple of bracelets that I've finished, that I had mentioned learning the new technique a couple of weeks ago. One is for me, and the other one will be available........ And now the reason for the pause.......goes into my next topic of today's blog title post; Before posting here, I was checking out some other blogs that I follow and lan...

Last night I watched the movie "Julie and Julia", and although I am not a fan of Julia Child or French cooking, I must say that I really enjoyed this movie and all the feel good qualities it possesses. So interesting, the true life story of Julia Child , an American living in Paris, who takes her boredom, and desire to bring French cooking to the American house wife. She shows a true spirit of being who you can be, doing what you love, persistence, and entrepreneurship. Two things that she possessed which spoke to me, was her desire to never give up, and a deeply loving and supporting husband. I also could relate to Julie Powell , a struggling writer, searching to find herself, who discovers to joy of cooking, blogging, and again, doing what you love and never giving up. If you are an entrepreneur, a writer feeling stuck, a blogger, love to cook, love to eat, or just love life, than I highly recommend viewing this movie. Enjoy!

March is National Irish American Heritage Month. Not known as a traditional holiday so to speak, but is recognized and celebrated on St. Patrick's Day (March 17th). Not only is this day celebrated by those who are Irish, but also celebrated by many who partake in drinking green beer , eating corned beef and cabbage , and wearing something green on that particular day. Many parades are also held on this day. The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade was first started in 1962, which included marching Irish soldiers who were serving in the English military at the time. I am doubled blessed; to be Irish and having March 17th as my birthday. A quick history of St. Patrick St. Patrick was a devout Christian who it is believed that God spoke to in his dreams. He was ordained as a priest, was a missionary of Ireland, and credited with helping convert the Irish people to Christianity. He was known for creating the Celtic cross , which has a sun superimposed over the cross. The sun bein...

But I love my car! It's everybody else that gets in my way! How I long for the open road, freedom to drive! Welcome to Florida. I can't say enough about the bad drivers in Florida. If it's not the elderly who shouldn't be allowed to drive after a certain age; say after the cognitive functions are gone or questionable, it's all the young people, racing around not following traffic rules and regulations and on their cell phones--- all the time! I once had an 82 year old man run a stop sign and smash into my car. The police report read, "violator appeared confused, due to age". Well, hello? maybe he should not be allowed to drive then! I think that the "driving privilege " should be reviewed and respected. How about this: Everyone over the age of 65 should be required to retake the written and driving tests at their local DMV every year in order to qualify for a driver's license. This would keep some dangerous drivers off the roads. Yes, but th...

That kinda sums it up. I thought I would have some exciting news, well I do have one thing... but I'll hold off for a bit.... I thought I would have another new bracelet complete to show you, but did not happen. What did I do today? Loads and loads of laundry! And spent some time "studying" my new camera's instruction manual. 50 pages, and now I have to download the CD disc to learn more! Did I mention I'm electronically challenged? Now let me get to the good stuff: IT'S TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY! Since I have been blessed with good things lately, I'd like to offer this bracelet, as a giveaway. It's one of my pure copper cuff style bracelets from the "Ancient World's" series. This one just does not live up to my standards for sale, although it is very nice and wearable. It will fit a size 7 inch wrist. O.K. So what do you have to do to be entered? ~follow my blog~ 1 entry ~become a Facebook fan, click on top box to go there~ 1 entry ~make a pur...
