It's like ten thousand spoons and you need is a knife....







I started to learn how to stamp metal and have completely fallen in love with this form of artwork...the ideas are endless for jewelry making (and beyond!) plus who doesn't like to bang up stuff with a hammer!! It's soo relaxing! lol I'm really crossing my fingers that this will be something I can play with for a long time and never get bored...I've even started making stretchy pearl bracelets with ironic saying/images...they amuse me hehehehe
Moving On:
I want to take the time to say woot woot; I finally applied for college and will hopefully be starting my online classes this fall. I'll be attending Calhoun Community College in Alabama to pursue a Business degree to get myself rolling on the way to becoming an entrepreneur. I'm excited and nervous to finally be taking this step but it is what needs to be done :) so there! Check out this awesome site: http://www.dailyworth.com/ It really is a kick in the pants to help you understand your value and worth and to get what you want and deserve as a woman. It's a helpful site full of financial advice, tips for spending, and other questions about business we all seem to wonder...rock it ladies!





People from the Public:
I work for a company that remodels bathrooms and my job is to generate interest in the product by talking to the public. Just the other day I worked at the Senior Expo...aka an old persons convention. I was forced to hold in my laughter while watching the old people assume that anything on a table is a free giveaway (stealing coffee mugs, pens, bowls that actual hold freebies, & even half eaten candy bars). I stood around talking to a lady that resembled a mechanical octopus (4-legged walker, 2 human legs, and just in case those all failed she had 2 backup canes) about how mean her family was to her for not letting her stay up past 8pm so she could watch Jay Leno; part way through this conversation she asked if I knew if she came with her daughter and demanded to know where she was (as if I was hiding her behind a curtain)! Another woman was a volunteer helping clean up after the vendors breakfast....she saw I had a tattoo peeking out from my uniform sleeve and asked how many shots it took to numb such a large area....she was serious....and
confused/disgusted after I corrected her....by the way, this is the tattoo (still to be colored).
