Another Home party is Scheduled for March 28th at Denise's House. For all of you who plan on attending, please visit the website for a look-see. You won't be disappointed. However, my pictures do not do the jewelry justice. (that's what people tell me) I know, I have to work on getting better pictures, but working full time and doing this on my free time is kinda hectic... so maybe by this summer when the sun is out fuller, I can re-do all my pics. Until then, I am really excited about this upcoming party -- All new spring line is coming -- BE THERE!!!! When I can I will start to post new pictures of my new spring line on this blog ---- so keep an eye on things and visit often.

Well everyone - We had a big snow storm for us... about 6-8 inches and it was kinda hairy because my daughter was flying in from Florida and we were a little worried. But, she got in just as the storm started .. whew.... Now off to auditions for her tomorrow in NYC... ugh... but that's part of her life. So, we are nestled in for the day/evening.

Here is another great necklace - curved focal by Melissa Rediger "Sea of Glass" - check out all my jewelry... on
