I know the plans I have for you….. plans to give you hope and a future.  _Jeremiah 29:11

Dwight and I have been married for 38 years....we have had some good times and some times that were not so good, but the Lord has blessed us through it all!  We are very thankful that He has never left us nor forsaken us, even though we didn't deserve His blessings....we know that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and we are eternally thankful for His sacrifice.  Our two most wonderful blessings from God are our precious children, Brent and Celia!  We are so proud of them, and we thank God for them....and for Kimlyn, who is now part of our family

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to:

My momma and daddy who have a special place in their hearts for Mardi Gras, and a daughter with “flair”…who taught me about God’s love and Christian values by being Godly role models in their own business, and in their lives...

My devoted, hard-working, dependable husband who just “keeps going and going”…to the mailbox...to his job…to the store…to the post office...to his recliner…

My beautiful daughter who is my number one salesperson, and my ‘sunshine girl’…who lifts me up with her awesome voice, lyrical laugh, and generous heart…who encourages me daily to trust God for my complete healing and inner peace…

My handsome son who listens patiently while I ask his advice about advertising and marketing strategies, and who never makes me feel stupid…whose strong, unwavering faith and Christian example inspire me to be all that God wants me to be…who is always there for me…

My lovely ‘second daughter’ who married my son and takes such good care of him…whose sweet and caring spirit is a welcome addition to our family unit…whose deep love for us is a joy to experience…….

Dale, my only brother who I affectionately call “Sun”…whose outgoing personality and genuine love for others endear him to all who know him….who has done such an amazing job on my logo, business cards, sign, and website….who has worked so hard to make sure that everything is done in a way that best glorifies God…

Laura, a gifted teacher who is married to my brother (who are both loving parents of my intelligent, athletic nephew Caleb)….who started all this in the first place by being obedient to God’s whisper in her ear to show me how to make beaded stretch bracelets…who, along with Caleb, has worn my bracelets to their Christian school activities as advertisement for my business…

Amanda and Scott, my pretty and talented sister and her accomplished husband/business partner of 28 years…..who have given me much needed love, advice, beads, and prayerful support….who have purchased my jewelry for gifts….. and who have advertised my jewelry all over the world by wearing my designs…

Mary Alice and Robby, my attractive youngest sister and her kind, respectful husband….who have purchased my jewelry for friends and loved ones…..who have given me the opportunity to promote my jewelry in a Christian atmosphere…who are prayerful parents of my sweet and compassionate nephew Wilton, who has also worn sports bracelets made by his Aunt Pam.

My poms Maggie and Murphy who love me unconditionally…who lay peacefully at my feet while I pray and make my jewelry…and who take turns sitting in my lap while I try to type…

Deborah and Wanda, my incredible friends who have been in this journey with me from the very beginning…who motivated me and wouldn’t let me give up, even when I thought I couldn’t possibly make necklaces and earrings…my sweet friend Rosie, along with Brent and Celia, who have supported my efforts as I make rosaries and rosary bracelets in loving memory of Dwight's parents.....and my wonderful friends Linda and Nancy, who have enouraged me to branch out into making lanyards: such a joy to create--with the Lord's guidance, of course!

Family and friends who lovingly lift me up in prayer… Celia’s fascinating friend Buddy who provided me with such a unique name for my bracelets…friends at Lifeway, Sanderson Farms, and the women’s ministry groups who have bought my jewelry, sent me cards, emails, and jewelry supplies, and who steadfastly continue to pray for me…

May God bless each of you.....THANK YOU!!

Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord.     __Colossians 3:17
