Day 1



Hayley (top left): I've been wanting a new ring and like the wire wrapped jewelry I have been seeing a lot of lately. I created this copper wire wrapped ring after about three attempts. It was surprisingly easy, although on my 5th attempt I flopped! I made a couple of mini ones for my girls too! I love the simplicity of it. I will wear it everyday to remind me of the journey!

Melissa (top right): I chose this picture because it represents two people beginning a new life full of adventure. I moved to Oregon without knowing anything when I came, but taking a leap of faith that it would all work out. It has and then some, using the power of the secret is making all my dreams come true!

Aubrey (bottom left): This photo reminds me of passion flowers. passion flowers hold a really special place in my heart, because they are one of the many memories I have of mom. We would take walks around the city in Turkey, and just a street over there was a building that had a gate on the outside of it. There were vines entwined all around it, and buds that had not bloomed yet. Mom was beside herself, because she had no idea what type of flower it could be. We walked by every week, waiting for the bud to open. Finally one day it did, and it looked just like the purple one I attached. Once is bloomed, we could not figure out what kind of flower it was. It was still a mystery. I think it took a few years to figure it out. Once we left Turkey we forgot about the mystery flower until I came across a picture of one we had taken, I searched for it and finally figured it out! Since then its always been a great memory for me and a flower I'll never forget.

Lily (bottom rightt): "I Love My Kid" is the title of this monster! Lily tells me he is bleeding because he was driving his car too fast and then he was walking on the sidewalk and tripped and fell and started to bleed. Poor guy, let's hope he was rushing to the kid he loved so much and not away from him!
