Santa Clara University

Well, my daughter and went to her orientation at Santa Clara University! What an exhaustive but most amazing 2 days! That school is incredible! Not to mention how gorgeous it is. Initially she was getting some cold feet, but to see the excitement on her face when we stepped foot through the main gate was worth millions. And the more of the orientation she went through the more in love with the school she is! This will be a huge change for both of us since it has always been the two of us as a team.............since the beginning. Now the road is filled with wonderful journeys for both of us! Go Broncos!

Go to www.CoolGoddessJewelry.com and check out the amazing Goddess Jewelry. Awaken your inner Goddess:
Venus: Sexuality
Athena: Power
Lakshmi: Success
There are 2 images of each Goddess to choose from. Each pendant has the stone that the Goddess derives energy from.

Each piece is handmade in the USA by two women artists and hangs on a sterling silver chain.

These are some of my new pieces. Both are my original watercolors that I have reduced and made prints (teeny-tiny). Each pendant has a special word on the back and I can do custom orders with your own special word or dedication.

18th Birthday!

Today is my daughter Anjelica's 18th birthday! I can hardly believe it! I have to say that I have done a pretty darn good job raising her. She is beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, generous, goal directed, happy, funny, loyal, stubborn, loving.............I could not have had a better child or best friend in my life! She is truly my best piece of "artwork".

Happy Birthday Boo!

It's 2008

Hey everyone, it's 2008 and I know that this is going to be a very amazing and successful year! My daughter is graduating this year......turning 18 this weekend. Both events are incredible to me! It is all bittersweet but I know it opens both of our lives up to fabulous new adventures!

I wanted to share my daughter's senior portrait photographer, Erin Lund. She is great and truly an artist. Check out one of the things that she did with my girl's photos:
