K is for Knew This Day Was Coming...

...but it's still hard to imagine! After guiding me for more than 6 years, Dolly is ready to retire. She is going to live with my mother, fortunately, and they adore each other. Mother lives close by so we'll get to see her often. I will be returning to Southeastern Guide Dogs in FL to train with her successor dog. Because this will be my second dog, I only have to stay for 20 days. I am scheduled to be down there from 9/25 to 10/15. This will be a huge transition for my family, and I am thankful for their love, support and courage.

This Weeks Featured Artisan is Creations with Heart

I truly enjoy creating jewelry and it\'s a bonus and a pleasure to make it available to you!

I love to create classic and western jewelry that will always fit your style! Gemstones, crystals, pewter and leather are just a few materials I enjoy working with. I\'m a \"dog mom\" so including animals in some of my creations is a must -- I love them so much! A percentage of all animal related purchases is donated to help the animals. It\'s something I like to do to help our furry friends that need and depend on us.

You\'ll see jewelry styles ranging from classic, animal themed, southwest, western and inspirational. My wish is to have my guests smile when they put my jewelry on. When you smile, you feel good!

I hope you enjoy the jewelry I\'ve created and may it bring you joy and happiness

Finding Charm

 

I started making jewelry because I had outfits I just couldn't find that perfect piece to go with. So I thought I'd buy some beads and give it a try. I was hooked, it's almost an addiction! It's important to me that I create charming pieces that don't break the bank. I started getting compliments and requests and decided I should help others in their journey of finding charm.

G is for Go Spread the Word!

In anticipation of spending 18 days in Florida at Southeastern Guide Dogs to train with Dolly's successor, I have marked a lot of jewelry down to half price in my Artfire shop! My hope is to get my shop cleaned up before putting it into "vacation mode". Dolly's retirement process has begun, and I expect to train with my new guide dog within the next few months. This has been a very difficult decision for me, but it's the right thing to do for Dolly as well as my safety. Fortunately Dolly is in relatively good health, and she will go to live with my mother when I go to FL. My mother lives close to us, and she and Dolly adore each other. Please help me spread the word about my Artfire sale. Just click on this post title, and you will find yourself in my shop. I think you'll be able to tell which items have been marked down to half price! Many thanks from Dolly and me! I'll keep you up to date on her retirement process...
