About Me:: Oh my, where do I begin? I guess I will just settle down with a cup of hot coffee and let it flow.

I will give you a condensed version. The long version could turn in to a novel. I live in the northern panhandle of Idaho. I moved here in May, 2006 (from California.) Talk about changes!!!! What didn't change? Well sometimes change is a good thing, and in my case this held true. Idaho has some of the most beautiful county I have ever seen.

I now raise and breed AKC Siberian Huskies, (http://windtalkers-siberians.com.) I do Permanent Make-up part-time. I also make custom handmade gemstone, magnetic, wire wrapped and beaded jewelry, as well as needle felted and clay sculptured critters, (and recently added my North Woods Wee People.) I opened my Etsy store Dec. 31 2007. Before Etsy I sold my art, crafts and jewelry at NA Pow Wow's in Southern California. Idaho doesn't have Pow Wow's and I really do miss those.

Although I went through some major lifes changes, I am at a good place in my life. I am meeting wonderful artisans and creative people, I am making my own creations, I am doing what I love to do, I am surrounded by happy, squealing little puppies and warm puppy breath, I now live in God's (sometimes frozen) country and I left all of the graffiti and road rage behind. Life just doesn't get much better than this. :)

Morning all. I will attempt to blog this again. I failed miserably on my last two attempts. My pictures wouldn't upload so I gave up and figured I would try later.

In my last blog I shared my excitement about being asked to join Artbeads "blogging for beads" program. http://blog.artbeads.com/ Now I would like to share the piece that I made with the wonderful Swarovski oval crystals that I received: http://lvbeadsnthings.blogspot.com/2009/07/dream-come-true.html

I am also holding a "Name this f… Continue

Blogging for Beads!

Recently I was approached by Steve at Artbeads.com. He asked me if I would be interested in participating in their new "Blogging for Beads" program. The program gives you an opportunity to receive periodic lists of items that you can choose and pick from. In return you either make something or write a review and then blog about it. Heck yeah I was interested. It was a jewelry artisan's dream come true. To see my blog about my latest Blog for Beads creation visit my blog by clicking on the link.… Continue

A stampede to the nearest Uhaul rental?

Here it is, three weeks into March and everyone else is enjoying the beauty of spring. Not so in northern Idaho. We are still getting dusted with snow and hail here and there, but mostly rain now. I can finally see ground in places so I am thinking this is a good thing.
