You know we all think of you often as we have all gotten pretty close on these blogs. Please remember all the wonderful and caring friends you have here as you go through these holidays. I am glad you are able to keep busy and have family around supporting and loving you. I also had to laugh at your earrings from the cane you did not like. I think these earrings are beautiful. I love the blue and the copper together. The bracelet is very cute too. With care and best wishes. Laurel Jackie:

I used to weave and sell rag rugs. I had made one I REALLY didn't like. I thought it was the ugliest thing I had ever made. I went to a crafts fair, and almost didn't put it out because I disliked it so much. Well, guess which rug sold first?! And the lady who bought it just LOVED it! And guess what? I LOVE your earrings! I'm glad to hear you're moving on with your life. I've been divorced, and believe me, that was a hard thing to get through. But now I've remarried (and my last name is now Norris, too!), and we're very happy. Life is never without challenges. The trick is to keep moving forward! God bless, and keep us posted!

However, I believe that the loss in my life was for a purpose and it made me the strong person I am. I think of them still and now am a Life Coach who enables others to recognise that they can celebrate the lives of their loved ones - and what better way to do it than by creating more and more beautiful pieces of jewelery knowing how Vance could well be watching and, as your best friend who always tells you the truth, will continue to admire your work and encourage you to do more and more.

I love those earrings, and the bracelet is so much fun with the ghost canes. I know everyone in your family will just love the ornaments you make for them. I know they will be just as beautiful as your jewelry. Take care and God Bless. Lynn Watts Hey Jackie, glad to hear from you and see your beautiful pieces.

I have my good days and some really tough days, when I have a bad one I read through some of the nice things that everyone has said, and it gives me a pick me up. Then I go and work in my studio and try to think about the wonderful encouraging words that Vance would say to me and somehow I make it through another day. The Holidays are going to be my biggest challenge, but with loving family and friends I know I will be OK. I have been working on Christmas ornaments for family so I have been busy, which is good. Thanks again everyone. This is truly a great community to be part of.. Jackie Thank You everyone.

It's good to hear you're finding a way to continue with your work - even a little at a time. Although this is a difficult time for you, it seems as though you are finding the strength to move forward. I wish for you many, many more good, strong days ahead. I really love how your pieces and colors have a lightness to them....the oval bead is sooo pretty. Thanks again for the update and sharing your work, please take care during the holidays. Jackie,
