Brkn 2 Reborn

The Beginning

Starting doing beading in @1995 after getting alcohol poisoning while out partying with friends. It is a talent that God gave me to keep me from trying to kill myself (literally through binge drinking and then driving while drunk) From broken to Reborn, from lost to Found, God gave me this talent to make jewelry and I didn't realize how relevant it was to my life until I was listening to the radio praising God and this song came on (of course I forgot the name and such) but it talked about taking the old and making it new again. God did that with me as I do that with my jewelry! I love taking old broken pieces and recreating something new and exciting. If the necklace doesn't have earrings with it, I can make some to go with it. Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of death. vs 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. It only through Jesus can we be truly changed, He alone has all power to deliver us from the bondage of sin and give us new life.

And while this started out as Jewelry, it has become a creative outlet in Bible Journaling and other crafts. Keep God number one in everything you do!

uhm,,,,,

so i am back to having trouble with pain. my back feels like some have shoved a knife or rod under my shoulder blades. i had been doing so so until i went to the dr on thursday. now i wish i hadn't said anything about my neck, heart burn, acid reflux, etc. dr prescribed a foam wedge which has realigned all my joints and have started hurting again. i am really tired of this pain. it wears me out just to put on clothes and walk to the car. i am not looking for sympathy - i am looking for relief. and to make matters worse - i can't sleep! so that keeps my body from healing itself. blah! just pray for me! it will work out as it can!

Dog Tags round Two

I love MelonHeadz illustrations! Nikole is amazing!

I can't wait to use them in bottle caps and wooden pieces and some other resin pieces!

Valley View Bottle Caps for teacher!

Hope that she likes them!

Inspiration/Motivation

I am lacking motivation or inspiration to stay focused on jewelry designs. Any suggestions? Of course when you can't sleep and shut down your mind or body for an hour at less. NOTHING IS HELPING! OH well - back to my drawing board! I will show you later!
