Happy Valentines Day!

This is a special day for Dave and I ... we have been together now for 25 years this Valentines Day.  (Our wedding anniversary is at Christmas but we always celebrate both).

It is also the anniversary of this blog.

And to top off this day's celebration, Candy, a jewelry artist and member of the ArtFire Artisan Jewelry Guild,  wrote a fabulous article on our work.  She is new to blogging but I think you might enjoy her blog, "I Get By With My Friends" very much.

Happy Valentines Day everyone....

60 Years Married

My family celebrated my parents' 60th wedding anniversary this past weekend.  It was nice to get together for such a special occasion.

One of my sisters made a yummy carrot and pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting (our parent's favorite) and I created a picture frame that held their wedding photo to go on it.

Happy Valentines Day / Chinese New Year !

Dave and I have four reasons to celebrate today:

1.  Valentines Day
2.  Chinese New Year
3.  Anniversary when Dave and I first met
4.  2nd anniversary for this blog

I started this blog exactly two years ago today and it seems a lot has happened since then.  Here is a link to our very first post in 2008:

Happy Valentines Day -- Thursday, Feb. 14, 2008

This year Valentines Day happens to fall on the same day as the Chinese New Year and since this year is the year of the Tiger, I thought I would share with you the heart shaped tiger print pendant and earrings I made.

Hope your day is special too!
