NOVEMBER 10, 2007 ~ Entry 2

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! 

Nothing special on MY end about today's entry.  I'm feeling and ALWAYS feel honoured that my BIRTHDAY coincides tomorrow with such a day as Veteran's Day!! My WONDERFUL Dad & Father-in-law,  both served in The Air Force.  ALL my Dad's Brothers served in the Armed Forces, one was lost during WWII in Europe from friendly fire. I had another Uncle that died either after returning home or while on leave during a boating accident. SO PLEASE, Don't forget to Honor our Veteran's tomorrow on Veteran's Day!!

  Any gesture of kindness, show of RESPECT will not be taken lightly by our Heroes in Uniform. If you don't know the full story of Ft.  McHenry & The Honorable Francis Scott Key negotiating to the British for the release of our prisoner's for theirs, look it up, read it to your children ... the words of The Star Spangled Banner will take on a new life. I've always teared up to the word's of the song for several years.  " ...gave proof thru the night our Flag was still there ... "  The men that kept that flag upright thru the unrelentless bombardment of the British Naval fleet weren't even soldiers, but NO WAY were they getting a surrender from us.  As George Washington said, "Our men would rather die on their feet, than LIVE on their knees", when a perplexed British Naval Officer couldn't comprehend them not surrendering. So many men fought to their deaths at Ft. McHenry, their body's piled in such a way it held that Flag up, albeit at an odd angle; but upright enough that surrender was clearly NOT on the table. The families and The Fort on the inside were well protected despite give efforts of The British.  Sorry about the history lesson; BUT it's MY BIRTHDAY!!   God bless our Men in Uniform & America.  Have a wonderful Friday!!

November 10, 2017 : Hello! An Inside Look at Me

-
My name is Monica, the designer/assembler of my jewelry; and I have to give credit to my wonderful husband for assisting me in various ways, esp emotional support!  I've always loved jewelry for as long as I can remember, the very first piece being a tiny brooch of my Mom's that was a painter's palette.  She worked in a private owned jewelry store when she was younger; and so the tradition continued, as I became of age as a young teenager, with me working for the same jeweler during the holidays.  My love affair with sparkly bling only intensified as I continued my job there as their Holiday employee, plus there's something extra special about Christmas that makes the bling more intense & exciting!  As I entered college, I decided on a career in Dentistry

Good Morning .... Sorry to have neglected my blog again. You'll be pleased when you see all the new pieces I've been creating since my last post. Some will be going to the store in Pikeville,  Rustic Roots on Second , and some will be going to my new website that I've been working to get published. It's ready to publish; just need to get my merchandise listed on it ... Not the easiest task. I need to update my Facebook page with my listings as well.
