Winter Vortex

Hello all,

Not a whole lot to report from this icy winter vortex.

February 2014:
New boss at work, time will tell how things go.

Birthday’s galore!
Id like to take a moment to say Happy Birthday to my Birthday Buddies, Sara Brown, Kimberly Jackson, and Caitlin McDonald.
This year I turn 26, and frankly, I almost forgot about it with how much I was working, but no worries. My cousins know how to make me remember.  I do not have a particular feeling towards being 26, one way or the other, but if it’s anything like 25, it will be filled with it’s fair share of ups and downs.
And Happy Birthday Mom!

March 2014:
As March comes into action, and work is beginning to slow down, I find myself finally able to catch up.
My cousin Lauren’s Birthday – Happy Birthday Cuz!

Gotta love this Ohio weather.  One day you are in a t-shirt, then next, break out the parka, followed by a 50 degree day.  If you dont like the weather, just wait a day or 2, its likely to be completely different.

This month will be spent planning some kind of fundraiser, working on a few new pieces, finishing up a few applications, and updating my site.

Oh yea, did I mention SNAG 2014 is fast approaching!?!  In April, I will be venturing to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the Society of North American Goldsmith’s annual conference.  This year’s will be my 5th conference, and I have been accepted as a New Professional Work Exchange.  This means I get to help out at the conference in exchange for a partial reimbursement.  I will also hopefully be helping out Tara Locklear at the conference with the Raffle.  Lots to learn, good conversations to enjoy, new connections to be made, and of course great company.
Can’t wait!  More to come on this next month.

Until next time, take care and stay warm.
