Okay everyone who might read this, I have had this new feature on my website, "blog"  and have been afraid to use it, stupid I know, but just not familiar with how they work, so here goes.

I am a jewelry artist for many reasons, I love working with my hands, I love to create beautiful things and of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder so what I think is beautiful others may not, that is what makes the human race so wonderful.  Another reason is I find it takes my mind away from daily stressors, which compared to many people my stressors are nothing, I am not complaining.  One more reason I love this passion of mine is that I get to meet so many wonderful people at art fairs, etc., all with their own stories that I find so interesting and teach me things along the way.  

I donate 10% of my proceeds from my website and fairs to the Alzheimers Association in honor of my beautiful, kind mother.  Although, so far it is not as much as I would like, but that will come, one of my mother's lifelong sayings "patience is a virtue".  I wonder if for some reason that was such an important saying to her because of the things to come, "Alzheimers"  teaching us to be patient which has been a challenge to me at times.

So, is this what what I am supposed to write about in a blog?  Please help me out!
