A wonderful designer I met, who was named as one of the most fabulous up and coming designers: Ximena Valero. Ximeno you are such a sweetie! Thank you for Nadine's Photoshoot! She looked so
beautiful I can't wait to see all the photos for the calendar. Thread in SD was breathtaking. The photos I took are of the ocean outside of the Sheraton hotel, where it was held. I never realized how many beautiful women there are in SD. So well put together and elegant. It's so fun going on these trips for my shows, as I meet wonderful people with so many stories to share. People and friends are my inspiration to my work. Through networking and talking about peoples' wants and needs specified in jewelry is my life-long research project.
Nancy Ros, owner of Ha Therapy, was so kind to house Nina and me in her beautiful home. She has a Therapy Salon in her home where she works wonders on people.I can't wait to go back and meet your volleyball students and have a jewelry party in the Holiday Season!
I'm grateful for my family and friends more than ever in this time of near depression and recession. Without friends who push you it's really difficult to get out of your funk; sometimes you have to ask for help and accountability. Try not to think so deeply about the problems, but don't forget about them either. They are there to help you appreciate the simple moments in your life that make you smile...
