Brenda Lansdowne loves challenging the members of her facebook group – and this one is a real challenge for me. I not only have to have a blog, but I have to create a piece of jewelry with a “vintage feel but driven by fashion trends” – her words, not mine. Now to figure out that fashion trend thing. In Hickory County Missouri, the only fashion trends are long jeans for winter and jean shorts for summer – hoodies for winter (I have 6) and tee shirts for summer (would hate to have to count mine). Guess I will have to do some googling for this project. Now that I can do!
We have to use one of these wonderful brass pieces from B’Sue Boutiques. If you haven’t visited her store, you need to do that! www.bsueboutiques.com.

Ginger, your necklace is gorgeous, but I was really impressed with the other post you shared about Cody and his friend. It is such a shame to see a young woman or any teen/young adult throw their lives away by risking driving while intoxicated. And the sad part is, its not just alcohol, its weed, controlled substances such as Vicodin or Oxycodone. There truly needs to be education in the schools that is much better than I’ve seen lately, at least in my state. These kids don’t understand that sniffing that can, swallowing those pills or smoking from that pipe will be the last thing you do before it kills you. I’ll stop, I could go on about this subject forever.

Shari, I could also stand on this soapbox forever. I learned today that not only was this young woman’s mother hit by a drunk driver, she died from her injuries two weeks later. She was in the hospital for a couple of days but evidently had a head injury that was undetected.
We also have a friend that is wheelchair bound because a driver on drugs crossed the median and hit her head on – on purpose. He was trying to kill himself and his family. One of his son’s was killed; his wife and other son seriously injured. This is just madness.
Thanks for your comment.
Hugs, Ginger

Ginger, I too appreciated your other post. That is such a shame. A whole family was wiped out a few years ago by a drunk driver. Don’t get me stared either. 😢
