Operation Cookie Overload

I was so excited to help in a project that I read about in a Taste of Home magazine called Operation Cookie Overload.

Christine Hofmann-Bourque founded thestrengthbehindthestrong.com, a website dedicated to ideas for staying connected with and supporting our troops and this Operation Cookie Overload is a great way to send goodies from home to some great men and women in Afghanistan .

In my box….three types of homemade cookies… molasses, preacher and peanut butter blossoms, lots of jerky and slim jims, tootsie rolls, kisses and a variety of candies!

There’s a few days left if you’d like to send some sweet from home too.

Busy Summer

First, I've just got to share my big news....I'm the newest vendor in the Appalachian Home Catalog!!! My handmade lampwork glass jewelry has been picked up for their coming Christmas catalog and I'm sooo excited! I've been working like the dickens to get the first order finished and sent off (hopefully the first of many) and between getting those goodies ready I've gotten a new shop in Salem VA to sell my jewels.

Here is a sneak peek at one of the items that will be in the catalog....of course in their unfinished stage.

And here is some new earrings that I've made for the coming fall season. Check them out on my website.
