HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Get Inspired

Don't you need a MRI yet?

Lori (left) Ronna (right) too much fun in class yesterday 

Ronna just got her MRI yesterday ....no no no not a medical MRI a Beadmetaler MRI. Ronna brought a new student to class yesterday and now has a $40.00 credit to use toward her next class.
Need a refresher on how my MRI program works?
Monthly Referral Incentive = MRI
Lets use Ronna and Lori as an example. Ronna has been taking classes from me for quite sometime (and does beautiful work if I do say so myself) she suggested her friend Lori take yesterday's class, this was a really fun class and the class fee was $40.00, now that Lori has completed this class Ronna gets this same amount of money of this class fee towards any class she wants in the next 30 days ...how cool is that.

Art and Soul almost here

Just a reminder that Art and Soul Las Vegas is almost here. I just went to the website and there are surprisingly still plenty of openings in classes. I have already signed up ....have you? We rarely get opportunities like this to come to town for us artists and if we don't support it we won't have them anymore. For several years I went to Portland to take classes like these and now they are finally here.
For more information look on the right side of my blog on this page and look for "special events" then click on Art & Soul retreats to learn more.

Happy Earth Day

Today I am off to see the annual Earth Day Movie, last year it was about Lion Prides and this year it is about Chimpanzee's. Each year Disney comes out with a Nature movie to celebrate Earth Day and if you go see that movie the week of Earth Day a portion of the money goes to saving or researching that particular subject. This year the donations will go to the Jane Goodall Institute (read more below)
The movies are more documentary with beautiful photography and heartfelt stories.

At the turn of the 20th Century, they numbered between 1 and 2 million . . .        now there are estimated to be fewer than 300,000 chimpanzees remaining in the wild. Incredibly—over the past 100 years—we may have lost as many as 1.7 million of the chimpanzees that roamed the forests of Africa.

When a 26-year-old Jane Goodall first arrived at the then Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in the British protectorate of Tanganyika, she brought only, her binoculars and notebooks. Her mission was clear: shed light on the little-known lives of the resident wild chimpanzees. But in response to the deepening environmental crisis throughout Equatorial Africa, over the years her work expanded. Today, Dr. Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute strive to protect chimpanzees and their habitats through community-based conservation programs in Africa--while continuing the research that started it all more than 50 years earlier.

Get your Color on

Spring is here and it's time to start thinking in spring colors when you make your next piece of jewelry.
The spring colors are so bright and beautiful, turquoise always comes to mind when I think of spring but this year I am going to try to incorporate more greens and yes ...yellows!
