Hand stamped jewelry


Ever get to the point that you just want to clean house because you are sick of looking at all the same things?? Well sometimes same goes with my business. You are going to see some changes around here in the next few months. I have some new designs, and some really great ones that have been around but I just LOVE so they have to stay! Come visit me during the Holiday season I will be at many different places showing off my jewels.

We just celebrated our First son Mason’s 8th Birthday yesterday… For those of you who know us, we celebrate for him just the three of us (Tim, Colton and I) to honor him and make sure he knows that he will NEVER be forgotten. It’s a special day for us to remember him and the short time that he was in our lives and to reflect how much we miss him and what we would be doing if he were here. We finally got our VHS tapes of Mason converted to DVD so that Colton could see what his brother looked like alive and moving. Colton and Mason are 13 months apart, Mason passed away when he was just 13 days old and Colton was born the March after… We are so grateful for the time that we had with him and are better people for him having been in our lives. We are so thankful for what God has blessed us with and who he has put into our lives. Whenever I think of my sweet boy I think of all that I have to be grateful for and how blessed I am to be his mom. Happy Birthday Mason you are forever in our hearts and I look forward to the day that I can hold you in my arms again and kiss your sweet little head.

If anyone reading this knows me I am just always a little bit late
applogies to all. Of course I am not talking about my jewelry that is always on time and some times shockingly early to the customers excitement… But never the less I am blogging about Halloween a few days late. We had such a busy weekend, Colton went to a costume party on Friday, we went to our friends for an adult costume party on Saturday (Pictures later) and then went to a dress up costume Birthday on Sunday for my niece, PHEW! I had to come up with 2 costumes for Colton and 2 for me and Tim but, we are so glad we went because we had such a blast with our friends on Saturday dressing up as Hillbillies and singing Kareoke (sp?) Tim got an unusually big kick out of dressing up that I put him in charge of next years costumes
Colton was a Ninja and a Doctor (Dr. Butts that is) and I was his Patient Beatrice Butts, so silly but so much fun!!! Check out the pictures.
Colton and his cousins Grace & Ella
My Brother Nick and his Girlfriend Alicia (Where’s Waldo?)
My Parents (is this funny or what?) They get so into it! THey even came talking like Martians looking for parts for their UFO that crashed…

We spent the day with Grandpa on their Hobby Farm and made DELICIOUS apple cider. Colton was such a trooper he was the apple washer, I cut up the apples, Grandpa ground the apples and squished them into cider. We were quite the team. Before we got going Colton and I cleaned off 2 of the apple trees and all we had enough for were about 6 gallons of apple juice (can you believe only 6) We worked out tails off but had a ton of fun doing it!

Colton and His little Friends
Went to the Harvest Orchard with our Friends and had a blast! I LOVE Fall and all the colors, the crisp air and everyone is so lively this time of year! I guess we better be because snow is just around the corner and we are going to be hunkered down soon…


I so LOVE Coffee time!!! I guess I just LOVE coffee but what’s better than having a cup with an Old Friend and Catching up… I recently met my friend Karah for Coffee and we were able talk (without kids, Yeah!) no interruptions of any kind. We decided to make this a regularly scheduled meeting! It was fun to talk with someone else to bounce ideas off of and get new ideas from. I look forward to Mondays now, Thanks Karah!
