Poker, Jewels, and Mom gets properly appreciated!

I am working on some new design ideas, so keep an eye out for new pics on the jewelry design page of this blog. I'll have new stuff all ready for preview and purchase before Mother's Day Ladies! My husband is organizing a poker night/ get your wife a nice gift for Mother's Day event, complete with guy food, and beverages, and of course a good night of poker. If you think your husband might be interested in playing, keep an eye out for the evite, they can get lost in the muck of emails. I would love to see your jewel wishlists! It will make it easier for your man to do an AWESOME job on Mother's Day (or any other big occasion) if you give me a heads up on what would make you feel FABULOUS. That goes for friends near and far. Take a look at my e-boutique http://stelladot.com/victoriarhodes to check out Stella & Dot, or take a look at this blog for my handcrafted pieces. Give me a heads up, and I will personally contact your hubby to help him shop. Either way, you will get an awesome gift, wrapped, and delivered to your doorstep. All your husband has to do is add a gushy note, and the story about how hard he worked to pick out something perfect! Don't forget to check out my new stuff! (I say that to put pressure on myself to follow through with making it and getting pics posted, lol..) Have a great week!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

MCI, Hunt Valley Reunion- Wish I could join you!

The company where I had my very first "real" job, MCI Telecommunications in Hunt Valley, MD, is having a reunion soon. It is so awesome that these folks who worked together so long ago still get together. These were first careers for many of us, straight out of college. I made so many good friends there. I lost one of my closest friends a few years back to cancer (The gorgeous, smiling, and good hearted Colleen Farley), and I credit that crazy job at MCI with bringing her into my life. I met my husband because a fellow MCI'er (My dear old friend Terri Weis), thought we would make a good match and introduced us. One of my oldest friends and mentors, who I had the pleasure of working with many years after MCI as well, (Terri Nimmons) just this week, wrote me reference that almost made me cry. There are people that I am not in touch with still, that had such impact on me in those early years of my professional life. I think of them fondly. I met these folks between 1990-1995...
