  Hubby took me and my sister in-law shopping on Saturday and we got so much done! It feels good to have the tree decorated and a few gifts that need to be wrapped. It is a different feeling this year since our son is now married. I can’t explain...

  One thing I miss about not having kids at home any longer, (mine are adults and live elsewhere), is making crafts with them. Something just doesn’t feel right about carving a pumpkin without them. If you have children and they tend to whine abo...

• Elegant, Simple and Timeless.

  That is how gemmologist, Annette Piper, describes her choice of how jewelry should be. I have to agree. Unlike jewelry that comes and goes as the fads change, her jewelry is timeless. She has a keen eye as she makes her own jewelry. Visit her website...

  Today I did something a little daring. I gave one of my bags to the secretary of our church. It makes me nervous to give something that I make. I am never sure if the person “really” likes what I make or if they are just trying to be nice...

  While surfing channels on television, I am always drawn to the true life dramas. I want to find out how someone plotted a crime and then carried it out. I like to watch the drama unfold as the police piece together clues. This is true life. People ar...

  I have spent the last hour cleaning up a mess in our family room. It seems that ants have decided that our wood floors and door molding make mighty tasty meals. I could not figure out why I kept seeing what appeared to be piles of sand along my baseb...

  I don’t think you always have to have a special occasion to buy jewelry. I think it is okay to buy jewelry for yourself. There, I said it. Am I self indulgent? Maybe I am but I don’t care. I have several pieces of jewelry that I bought si...

  While my family was visiting, we gals did a bit of sewing. My husband and brother in-law don’t sew. They don’t enjoy checking out fabric stores. I know, it is hard to believe but they are not addicted to fabric. They actually found someth...
