Treasures and Time

We have organized & found places for our new "treasures"  from the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show -- I call it treasure because that's what it feels like when you look at the piles of wonderful stones we now have to create with. Remember when you were a little girl sneaking a peak in your mom's jewelry box - it feels like that, full of wonder and possibilities.

Now, trying to find the time to sit and create with this "treasure" while keeping up with your normal work schedule and personal life is a challenge.  Thank goodness we have a wonderful volunteer, Deb - what a blessing. 

She joined us several weeks ago and, in addition to enjoying the creative process of making jewelry, she is very excited about our mission.  We are doubly blessed in that she has a very good eye for color & proportions and has created some very lovely pieces for us.

We will attend the Equine Expo in the Lancaster Event Center in Lincoln, NE this next weekend, the 11th, 12th & 13th of March.  We have been stockpiling horse-themed jewelry and plan on having a great 3 days.  This will be a new event for us and we hope to make it an annual one.

In addition to a few other events, our Signs of Spring Craft Show is on April 2nd.  We will be the first craft show to christen the building and we plan on this being a huge event for us.  It's hard to contain our excitement!

We have so many new and exciting projects coming up this year - it's more than I can express to be associated with this group of passionate, creative women!

Keep tuned -
