Who isn't inspired by the new growth and beautiful flowers in the Spring? These little beauties are in my front yard. In my family, the green in either of my thumbs is hardly existent. Thankfully, my mother planted these flowers when she lived here. It's amazing that they come back year after year without any effort on my part. This is what I love about Spring.

As I look at these beautiful flowers, they make me happy. They create such beauty in my world. I am inspired by all of these beautiful flowers and vibrant color. I want to go and pull out my brightest beads and create something amazing which is where I'm headed just as soon as I finish with this note to you. But before I run off to the studio, I want to introduce you to another fun thing in our flower bed.

I'd like to introduce you to Audrey. She is constructed of rusty metal, door knobs and a lot of creativity. I wish I could say that she was made by me. My hubby and I saw her at Studio Soul in Tulsa and it was love at first sight. This is the way we decorate our flower gardens since we're neither one at all good at gardening.
We are enormously successful at buying crazy sculptures and placing them in our flower gardens so in a way, I guess we are good at gardening after all….. :-)

Ok, before I jet off to the studio to get ready for my show tomorrow (4/12/14 10a - 5p) and make some fun Springy jewelry, I have a rather serious subject to cover.
I learned that some members of my church are going through a difficult time right now. This photo is of Calvin and Lisa Sanders. Calvin was diagnosed with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia. I immediately felt led to donate 10% of my sales at my 4/12/14 show to their cause. When I asked Penny (we do shows together), she couldn't believe I was asking since she'd had the exact same condition! She had brain surgery to correct hers and is fine now. She too is donating 10% of her sales to the Sanders. So here's my request. I am happy to donate 10% of my show sales or 25% of website sales to the Sanders family. However, I have to actually sell something in order to do this. So, here are two ways for you to help me help them. You can either order from my website and I'll donate 25% of my sales to them or you can visit my show and I'll donate 10% of all sales. I'm extending this website offer from now until Sunday 4/13/14. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]. Click HERE for a map and further details for the show.
If you can't make it out to the show tomorrow (4/12/14) you can still help. Donate HERE. Even $10 will make a huge difference for a family going through such a difficult time.
I look forward to working together to help this family.
