Back "at it" !

It is amazing to me how quickly time is flying by.  I always have "good intentions" on blogging, but, sadly have not done so!

 

We as usual have been on the go.... the yard and garden are coming in shape.  Have the garden in, green beans are up, 8 tomatoes, 6 peppers in, garlic and onions growing and 2 cucumbers are set to climb a new type of trellis. 

 

I have had to work long hours as we are very short on help at work.  And Jim has been busy in the rock shop making beautiful cabs and jewelry... hopefully I can get some wire wrapping going soon too.

 

Mary Kay Business is coming along, and am anxious to do more.  We (our unit) just opened a new studio training center, which will be a big asset for all of us!  So excited to see what the future holds there.

 

Next post I will post some pictures of all of the above and get back at it in the blog world!

 

Praying all is well with you!

Ma and Pa

 



All things new!

As you all know we love lapidary, and making beautiful jewelry. 

 

Jim now has a fantastic shop, and has been happily putting it in order. He also has been teaching classes at the Gem and Mineral club we belong to.  So, when he had his latest Intarsia class, I joined in as well, and soon found out what a great teacher he is!

Here is the class. We are learned a lot, and had so much fun.

Some of the beautiful pieces that our students made.

My first Intarsia!

 

Jim has also been teaching lost wax casting, and some silver smithing in his shop as well.  He is happily doing what he loves!

 

This week we got to be part of a special mile stone for our daughter Julie.  She worked so hard and earned the greatest award for a Mary Kay Consultant.

A Mary Kay Car!

So proud of her!

Her family.

Proud Ma and Pa too.

 

We are so happy for her.  She also will have her debut as a Director on the 16th... another big milestone!

 

Being so proud of her, I have also joined her team, and am now an Independent Mary Kay Consultant! And intend to follow in her footsteps and be the best I can be.  Join me at my website at http://www.marykay.com/clynch71625

and see what wonderful products Mary Kay has!

It would be my pleasure to serve you!

 

So, we are off on our new journey, our jewelry making, and to soon go "on the road" to shows, and also my Mary Kay business, which I am so happy to get started in.

 

Thanks for stopping by, will be posting soon!

 

Happy and busy in Colorado,

Ma and Pa
