Health issues

Picture by Jolene Hardy

They suck. I have to get a cardiac stress test done. Bad hearts both sides of the family and my EKG was a bit off. My provider is awesome getting this type of stuff done so we I get older, they have something to compare to:)

Took a break from posting/editng pictures, stress break as I call it. On top of day job issues, Tom & I broke up.

I am frustated and stressed out but thru the grace of God, I will perverse. Mom bought a kick butt camera for the business so I can continue taking great pictures without relaying on other people's camera. I am really excited about it.

A cold and kind of rainy day at good old Tucson.....where or where has our summer time gone?

Have a Blessed Christmas

Stay safe where it is snowing madly and have a very merrry Christmas:)

My 300th post

Dang, I talk a lot sometimes. The comment to my last post was an ad....that is interesting. Well, the extra money that I will get by working tomorrow afternoon will be quite helpful.

I am wondering where my creative elf hid out at because he needs to get his butt back into my studio so I can start getting on my new years jewelery stuff.

Funky Monkey Girls are in another store in Tucson:

Artists at Work 2400 N Campbell Tucson, AZ 85719

Now, if these wonderful beautiful items will sell more often, I & mom would be incredibly happy campers:)

If I can't get on here tomorrow or Christmas, have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Tis the season...

I got back into the Christmas mood last night. I was on the very SLLLOOOWWW laptop at home & hear Christmas carols. I get up, look outside the front door and then my back door and someone behind me, had a loudspeaker going & I heard Christmas carols from! That and the cool mist that covered everything just put me in the Christmas spirit, praying helped too!

My goals for 2010:

1. Purchase a really good camera for pictures.
2. Get on Facebook with friends at least 3x per week for a limited amount of time (1hr max)
3. Get on Business Facebook 4x per week espically when I make new items and take pictures of them. (1hr max)
4. Dedicate 1hr per day to take pictures of jewelery(right after day job is done)
5. Dedicate 2hrs every other day to make jewelery if the creative juice is flowing, cause if it isn't flowing I can't create worth a crap:)
6. Taking vitamins/calcium pill every day...

So basically I work at home, die/eat and go to bed....of course, adjustments will be paid aka if I am at Tom's house but hopefully this is doable.

christmas

Well, I need to run home and make more jewelery tonight for Henry's store. I guess I sold something in the gallery before it even opened, at least I hope it was piece of jewelry, sometimes people do get confused LOLOLOL. He wants our jewelery in his store so on Saturday, I am going over to talk about comission, pricing etc. I am really looking forward to that:)

I think the grinch has struck at work, not here but elsewhere. I am trying to be merry and bright but all I want to do is stay home in bed! If you haven't guess, home is my safe zone. I am going over to Tom's this weekend, because we need to leave ms sadie at his house so she doesn't claw/chew up my front room door. We need her on puppy prozac as soon as we can afford it, poor thing.

I am exhausted.......

Too much stress going on for this time of the year! I thought it was suppose to be festive and loving, I haven't seen much of that at all this year. This is the type of week where I really wish I would have stayed in bed all week.

The cold weather is really bothering me this year...I ache so bad that it even hurts to walk. Oh well, I can overcome the evil of pain!!

Have a very Merry Christmas and hopefully I can get some other pictures on here once I get on my computer at home!

Thanksgiving

I just am grateful for my Tom, family,friends and others who lives I briefly touch at my day job and thru my jewelery.

Well, Jeff and his family are showing up today then Jim & Kennedy show up tomorrow:) Hopefully my dead furnance will be a cheap fix...keeping fingers crossed & praying about it!

The studio is clean...I mean clean! I don't think I have ever seen it this clean. I will take pictures and attempt to get both messy studio & clean studio side by side.

I have been working my arse off at day job and I am one pooped out monkey! I get another trigger point injection today, I am pretty excited about it cause it works!

I wish all of you and your families Happy Thanksgiving and may the Lord bless each and everyone of you:)

Okay, what happened to Fall?

Where did fall go? Did it disappear from Tucson while I was sick? That isn't fair! I love fall it is one of my mostest favorites seasons! I like the crispy cold weather, the crispy leaves and apples bought from an orchard. yumminess. Mind you, I hate the next season that comes after fall espically in Minnesota.

I was hoping for more fall time since I can go outside and don't have to worry about breathing on people.
