I still can't hardly believe we are finally out with the old and in with the new! I have believed from the beginning of Obama's campaign that he was a good candidate for president. As a Gen Xer I breath a sigh of relief to have a younger president who believes in world piece. Someone willing to change the old ways to make this a better world for us all.

A friend of mine from Northern Ireland wrote this in a email to me today.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have a new product in time for the holidays. They are Tux penguin mascot earrings. They are made from Polymer clay and are 3/4" tall. They dangle from gun metal shepherds hooks.

This is one of my all time favorite recipes. I made them tonight and just got to thinking that more people should eat these. The recipe comes from "The Complete Book of Greek Cooking".

The grape leaves cook for 3 hours in a 350 degree oven so it can be made up the night before even.

Hello everyone! It's been a very busy couple of months. Sophia is 4 months old now and getting so big. She is 15 lbs. 13 ounces and 26 3/4". With her dad being 6'4" she doesn't stand a chance.

Well I have one more show under my belt. I was at the Seattle WA show at the end of September. What a fun show it was! I was in a much better mood this year. Last year I was a bit moody due to being 2 weeks pregnant and not knowing at the time. We laugh about it now...

We recently took a Sunday and went for a drive. We needed some time away from home and to get away with our new little addition. So off we went and headed towards Helena MT. We decided to do some rock hounding and see were we ended up. Well after a successful time collecting some rock specimens we headed up to the Gates of the Mountains boat tour. Boy it was fun. We were expecting some cheesy tour guide and a quick run up the valley.

Wow it's been a while since I've blogged and my apologies. Things have changed a bit around here. Back in June of 07 we started trying to get pregnant and low and behold 3 months later we were. It was pretty sweet that we found out on the night of our 8th Wedding Anniversary that our life was about to change drastically. The first 3 months were a challenge, but in the second trimester things got better. I had a very good pregnancy except for having sciatic nerve pain. That was not a lot of fun and I had it the entire 9 months, but it seems to have gone away after having the baby.

Welcome Canadians!

On April 15, 2008 Discovery Channel Canada put the Geek Girl Jewelry Line on their Daily Planet Show. I was very excited about this and wanted to say hi and welcome to the viewers who saw my jewelry on the show yesterday. I hope you enjoy the site!

At our ranch we live 7 miles from a Hutterite Colony. Over the last few years I've been buying all my produce, chickens and eggs from them. In the process I've become very good friends with them all. They are such kind hearted and generous people and wonderful cooks!

Hi everyone! I finally went and got all the brand new fishing lure earrings on line today! It's under the Nature Girl line. I had a lot of fun with them and depending on the response I'll be adding more new ones with time. There are a series of fly fishing flies, Daredevle lures and several varieties of spinners. Oh and my favorite some red and white bobber earrings to keep you afloat in case you fall in! I'd love some feed back on what you think.

Enjoy and have a great 4th of July week!

I was contacted by the Toronto Geek Girl Dinners and was asked to donate some geek girl jewelry. I was more than happy to. This is a neat organization designed to give geek women a place to get together to chat and learn.

Here are the links for TGGD and a picture of the donated jewelry. I hope many of you reading this will attend and have a great time.
