Jewel Kade - Chains & Charms

My latest adventure is helping my Aunt Janet with a business she started, Jewel Kade. I found out about it last semester and was lucky enough to get my very own Jewel Kade for my birthday. Over the Christmas break I wanted to learn more about it, and that I did. On Christmas day my family went over to visit the Kinkades and that is when it all started. Almost the whole time we were there I talked to Janet about her business and she told me what she would really like to do, what she needed help with, etc.

On Friday January 4, 2007 (I realize the date is somewhat irrelevant, but now you know when it was...) I went back over and spent most of the day working on and thinking about jewelry. It was so much fun! I took photos of the charms and we talked about what I was going to do to help and so on. Well, I made up some mailers that she is going to use when people do open houses and some that will have her shop hours and contact information. I get excited every time I think about what I get to do! I thought I would show you some of the work I have done so far and, if you know anyone who would like to make a purchase... let me know!





School is in session...

I am so excited! I just started Winter Semester at BYU. I love all of my classes, well, except physical science... but who would love that? Classes I am taking include:

* German 102 - Ich liebe Deutsch!

* Humanities 202 - Ahhhhh... Culture...

* Physical Science - gotta love those GE's

* Doctrine and Covenants 325 - starting with section 76, I love BYU! Religion classes are great!

* Beginning Snowboarding - Breezy and I had never been on a snowboard before and we are already level 2!

So, yes, I am only taking 12.5 credit hours, but I am also working 20-25 hrs a week and pretending like I have a social life, so I guess I stay pretty busy. I really am excited about my classes though! Life is so good! So to explain the photo... I feel like every post needs a photo and I didn't have any photos of my classes.

So, I have this photo that I took over the break (on accident) that turned out pretty cool (yes... Dev those are your shoes...). I thought since I didn't have a better place to put it I would use it for this! I guess it does actually fit because I am taking snowboarding, but then again that's not what this post is all about. Oh well! That is the beauty of this blog... it doesn't matter! Well, I'm off to Humanities so this is the end!
