To my friends who buy/sell on the internet

Hi everyone,  I want to give a heads up to fellow internet junkies like myself.  Be careful, don't get lazy with your passwords.  Adding a few #'s to switch it up is not enough!  Make your passwords to EVERYTHING different.  I was ripped off by my paypal account using my info from twitter.  I never would have thought of twitter as a possible link to paypal.  Turns out people are gathering that info, then doing searches for other accounts.  Changing up a few #'s is not a problem for these people.  Remember too, security questions you make up yourself should not have yes or no answers.  They should have detailed answers.  I hope I have saved you an evening of phone calls canceling accounts, freezing and changing passwords etc..  Think like a secret agent! Assume any and all info about you is usable!  

Be smart,

Jodi

these floral inspired mosaic belt buckles were fun.  i love the way the decoupage feels like viewing a tv screen.

my newest buckles...

I have been away in NH and I am back feeling recharged and ready to work.  i missed having grout under my nails.  What do you think?  I'm feeling very nostalgic for my old buckles.

I am back to work on new buckles

These buckles are not grouted yet, but you can see them taking shape.  I still need to clean them too!  I was going to silver and gold leaf the black clay flowers.

Last Day of school for Andrew!

I love packing the uniforms away. I am so glad school is over for now. I don't have to yell anymore.  I am going North as usual, to New Hampshire.  I will post as many pics as I can.  It is the most magical place.  My son gets to go to the farm to buy milk.  we always go to visit the "goat in a coat" a goat wearing a vintage man's grey coat. The goat has had the same coat for years!  My husband is there now. He says it's the most beautiful place on earth.  He called to say that they just got 12" of fresh snow.  Blue and White,  my favorite!

I'm starting to think about Valentine's Day

I need some ideas for Valentine's Day.  I made this and it's what got me thinking.  I think I will google glass hearts and see what i get.
