 I am  honored to have one of my necklaces featured on the August cover of Bead Trends, shown in green. I am late with my posts this year due due family medical problems and my two daughters weddings. I am writing this post to say thanks to Tatia Meyer and Northridge publishing for including my jewelry in the July and August 2012 issues of Bead Trends. They publish many beautiful magazines and I am amazed at all the beautiful artiwork from scrapbookings, cricut, cards, design, cooking and holiday magazines.You can even buy thier books online at:  http://www.northridgepublishing.com/

  It was also very nice for the editor to send me extra issues to share with my customers at the Utah Arts Festival. I am hoping to share some more designs and projects with thier readers in the near future. I am thankful to all those people who have continued to follow my blog even though there has not been much to follow or read recently.  I will see my oldest daughter tie the knot this coming Saturday. I am very happy that she has choosen to make a new transtion and cannot wait for her special day.  I am still hoping she will come over and make jewelry with me. lol.

Nichole and Adam are getting married

I have another wedding to announce. May daughter Nichole is getting married to Adam Carver on Sept 22nd.  When I found out my daughters were both getting married this summer I was both sad and happy for them at the same time.  In some ways I feel I am giving up a part of my life as they move on and make there own little paths in life.   I now understand with the marriage of my first daughter in June that I am not giving them away but gaining two wonderful sons.  I will have now have three sons and two daughter's and for the first time in my life I now have more son's then daughter's.  I am sure that won't last long as my son is still at home and single.  Hint Hint!  He would hate if he read this, so please don't tell him.  Jordan has no  plans to get married for a long time and I am really happy about that as he is still home.  The good thing is I will not have to plan and finance any weddings, at least for a while.  I have to admit it has been fun helping my kids create their beautiful weddings, even if they refused to have a double wedding to help their mother keep her sanity.  It has been a busy year with a job change in May, Brooke's wedding in June, the Utah Arts Festival in June, surgery in July, vacation in August and now the upcoming wedding of Nichole on Sept 22nd. Sometimes I think I will be glad when this year is all over, but the good thing is it is not over.  I now have a larger family which is nice since I grew up with only one brother and have very little family left on my side, except for a couple of uncles and cousins I rarely see.  Congratulation's Nichole and Adam.  I am looking forward to see my beautiful, talented and artistic daughter get married.  It will be a memory that will be etched in my brain and live in my heart forever.  I look forward to your special day as your life forges it own path.
