According to Senator Gaylord Nelson, founder of Earth Day, the concept began in 1962 and evolved over a period of seven years. Nelson was concerned that protecting our environment was "simply a non-issue." President and Senator Kennedy liked and supported his ideas but his attempts to place the environment on the political agenda were consistently unsuccessful. He did not give up and Earth Day was finally established in 1970. I think that for many, the 2009 Earth Day is one of the most signi... Read Full Story
You’re making money with your business and maybe you have a tax refund to spend….I do hope that you’re treating yourself well. I was inspired to create a little store with the lowest prices I could find. Not only did I have fun, but I also found out that Amazon.com has quite a few everyday price bargains in women’s clothing.
My goal was to find items under $10. I was successful in the area of tops and blouses but I saw some really cute items around $15, so I include... Read Full Story

Occasional littering came to a halt (my purse and pockets hold trash when there's no trash can around) and I even stopped killing spiders unless they were poisonous. It was only natural t...

2008 Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Fairy by Parthena Black
I’ve been fascinated with polymer clay artist dolls and fairies for years and never thought that I would be making them! I have a long way to go, but I’m getting better thanks to the support of other artists and the resources they’ve made available. The dolls I created in my early work had no faces, and for some reason always had ginormous breasts no matter what my... Read Full Story

A dear friend of ours has the most wonderful little boy who was labeled as everything from hyperactive to learning disabled by his teachers until he was finally diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, an “autistic spectrum disorder.” He lives in his own little magical world that he draws you into - when I play with him, I’m six yea...

Blue Cal Silica Jasper TeardropsLast time I posted a blog about sites with free jewelry patterns, I thought about sites that charge for patterns and instructions. That’s a great way to add revenue to your business, but most experienced jewelry designers can just look at a project and figure out how it’s done. I really haven’t seen very many that I liked well enough to invest money in. Unless you are a very famous and accomplished designer, I feel that if you’re going... Read Full Story
