Q. What was the biggest impact from the seminar?
A. I met so many wonderful women and the time just felt like it was on fast forward. I missed my Tucson, Az friends. But I made so many friends this year I am really happy. My new MK Sisters from California were there too.

Q. What is new with Mary Kay?

Q. How did you feel when you returned from seminar?
A. I was so pumped when I left I thought I could get everyone on my team and appointments on the books.

Q. So what has changed?
A. Nothing, except my attitude I get nervous. So I am fine then when I go out I can't seem to work up the nerve to approach people.

A. Well, they say "Face the fear and do it anyway" I think I just have to find the right venue and just "doit".
Q. Any final comments?
A. Set a goal. Track your attempts and be honest with yourself. If you don't ask you'll never get.

July

So the sunscreen has been sent and it's a total of 7 sunscreens and 7 lip balms. I was so happy that so many people helped out. Thank you angels.

What is new is I've started to drink more fresh juice and vegtables. Yep you can drink your vegtables.  I invested in a great (expensive) but still great blender that uses all the pulp and everything. I thought about just jucing but it takes so much food to actually make a glass. It seemed to me that there is probably a lot of nutrients in the pulp too. So I go a vitamix. It makes awesome fruit slushes and adding a little ice yum. Not overly sweet like a lot of other slushes.

I've actually lost 7lbs. I had gotten through one day just veggie juices but couldn't last I needed some thing to crunch. So I decided to just do vegetarian and stay away from processed foods. We went to lunch one day I had a small serving of Indian vegetarian with spicy noodles. I'm sure I won't see a big drop in weight because of that.

I made several dishes myself, curried green apples over rice, cooked kale, then red kale peppers carrots rice and beans. Just need to get the Beano.

I also included yoga classes, I found a yoga place that had a special 20 days for $29. I had gone the first part of the week but felt really dizzy on Friday. So I didn't go back till today, the dizzyness happened again. It's hot yoga and then ontop of it your almost on your head all the time. However it has made me feel the muscles in my legs again. Plus it helped my lower back pain. Just need to find a place where it isn't 98 degrees, yes, I said 98 degrees.

Only 4 days left to help support this worthy project of getting sun care to our armed forces. Are you in?

What am I doing with the videos of Many Hands Court Yare and the merchants? There are these tiny little oasis in Tucson Az. that unless someone tells you about them your going to miss the opportunity to meet some pretty incredible people. Many Hands is exactly that it is a cute little place to go to especially if you have out of towners visiting. If you are the creative type it's a great place to get inspiration. There are a love of places to go to around town I think this is one you should definitely see.

Tea n More

What an awesome little store! see for yourself

Many Hands Artist Co-op

Dear me, what a long time since I've blogged. But now I have tons of time well, some more time. I am able to just create, create, create. Let me show you some items I have done since I've been gone.

Can't believe I have started crocheting. I'm in the midst of making a sweater I'll upload when I'm done. ta ta for now.

It's fall and it's time to get some jewelry done

 seed pods collected from downtown.

Simple heart with a flower embellishment and hand made clasp.

Seed pods abound there all on the ground. Gather them up to bring to the table I'm ready and willing and some say I'm able. Making fall jewelry is fun and relaxing until Novemeber when the pressure is taxing. Get ready and set and go find some natural pods and seeds with Metal clay and kiln that's all you'll need. Of course we don't always need a kiln  a torch can work too. It's easy and fun and something to do!

What great presents for others! And a piece of where you live. Make sure the item is large enough and yet small enough to be an interesting piece. You can combine some of them like the spiral mesquite that pod is so cute alone but also as a group. Pictures of that one next time.

Cool weather time to get some work done

Oh I love the cool weather during the fall. I can't wait to get out my warmer clothes and make some presents, cards and fun jewelry things. Plus it is a great time to get the dogs outside to work. The sun is still shinning brightly and the coolness in the air just makes you energized.
