Be Grateful, Just a little reminder. Something i think we all need once in a while.

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, the car that you drive, your job, your friends. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities, services, and electrical appliances that make your life effortless. Be grateful for the magazines and the books that you read. Be grateful for the chair that you sit on, and the pavement that you walk on. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers.


Thank you, thank you, thank you!
May the joy be with you,

Rhonda Byrne
The Secret... bringing joy to billions

My most recent work

Don't you just love the look of turquoise! I do, so I made some faux turquoise and then I turned it into cabochons using the CaBezels molds to help me and voila! An oversized pendant and earrings were born.

Make your own texture tool

This isn't my idea. I wish I knew who to give the proper credit to. One of my fellow guild members (Janice V) was using her nifty tool and she told us how to make it,the next month another member (Barb B) brought in a little bag for each of us filled with everything we needed to make our own so I went home and did just that.
It's quite simple to make. I guess you could make it any shape you wanted to but this shape is easy to hang on to.
Grab some scrap clay, roll it into your preferred shape and then simply roll it in a pile of different sized/shaped salts,sugars,sprinkles or even little beads. Bake and voila! An instant texture tool.
