Thank You for supporting Small Businesses!

I LOVE and SUPPORT our Military!!!

.. Jesus is everything I need and all that I want forever...

I look up to those people
that strive to do their best, give and support others & become all they can be in life love and relationships.
Friends that inspire and enlighten me, those that are loyal, trustworthy, and respectful..
supportive of my hopes, dreams and decisions,
Friends that listen and hear when I open my heart
and try not to hurt the heart shared with them.

Survivors,

Anyone who has the strength and courage to survive the things life throws at them.

The child who escapes & becomes an adult survivor of abuse,

The wife or husband that survives domestic violence

The Keys to Your Heart..

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is open.
Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero.
You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious.

You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for.

You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Your soul is bound to the Second Totem, Luna:
The Wolf Luna appears as a pair of coral colored wolves.
She embodies empathy, nurturing, insight,
and warmth... She is associated with the
color coral, the season of spring, and the
element of wind.
Her downfall is pathos.
You are most compatible with Doves and Ravens.

About me:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..

Every day small business owners are leading our country and local communities to new and better ways of working and thinking. Through good times and bad, their resilience and entrepreneurial spirit can serve as an inspiration to us all and help move our economy forward.

After watching Wayne Christensen Leather by WC carve leather projects for 2 years, I wanted to learn to work with leather and create my own projects. I began doing leatherwork in 1995.

My first project was a simple strip of leather that said “’06 KJ of the Year Lori Halley” that was glued onto base of a trophy made of plastic flowers and a plastic birthday cake topper from my birthday cake in 1992. I made the trophy for a friend who was nominated for KJ (Karaoke Jock) of the year in 1995 but did not win it so the trophy I made was presented to her to let her know that she was the fans KJ of
the year for 1996 even if the judges hadn’t given it to her in 1995.

I learned much of what I know about leather from watching Wayne as he worked in his shop creating custom leather items.

I am visually impaired, which makes leather carving a challenge most of the time. I do most of my leatherwork more from touch than sight. Beveling my using my fingertips to ensure I am on the correct lines and beveling in the correct direction etc.

Moving on from the small strip of leather glued to a trophy base I began making wallets, key cases, checkbooks and barrettes. Most of the designs on the early projects were Taz, Tweety, Yosemite Sam and other easily carved cartoon figures. Only 3 tools were needed in order to make the designs, a swivel knife, beveler and backgrounder so the projects were easily produced.

I set up a desk in my room where I could work on leather projects and began accompanying Wayne when he started teaching leather 1995 and began doing floral carving and more common leather patterns. When I first started doing leatherwork, I took a classes from Mike Rhinehart, learning to make molded roses and to make a mask,
Watched a demo from Robert Beard and through watching and taking classes, like a sponge I took in much of what all the artists around me were doing and leathercraft became the center of my focus and has been ever since.

I now assist Wayne at Standing Bear’s Trading Post and continue to learn through watching him work on his projects, as well as taking classes from other masters of leathercraft who teach at Standing Bear’s such as Robert Beard, Jeff Mosby, and Al Gould.

DEALING WITH GRIEF - IN MY OWN TIME!
We are doing well with our grief when we are grieving.
Somehow we have it backwards.
We think people are doing well when they aren't crying.
Grief is a process of walking through some painful periods
toward learning to cope again.
We do not walk this path without pain and tears.
When we are in the most pain,
we are making the most progress.
When the pain is less,
we are coasting and resting up for the next steps.
People need to grieve.
Grief is not an enemy to be avoided;
it is a healing path to be walked.
~ from HOPE Line Newsletter, August 2002

"If I were doing well with my grief,
I would be over in the corner curled up in a fetal position crying,
not standing here acting like no one has died."
~ Doug Manning

I don't want Sundaes, they're too Sweet,
And Cheetos are too hard to eat!
I've had my fill of Jello too.
But wait, I've tasted something new!
It's not too sweet upon my face
It's outdoors in my favorite place,
To try all kinds of dirtfilled treats,
Like soil, sand and bugs to eat.

A child is a butterfly in the wind,
Some can fly higher than others,
But each one flys the best it can.
Why compare one against the other?
      Each one is different,
       Each one is special,
      Each one is beautiful.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you' ll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say 'I'm sorry,'
'Please forgive me,' 'Thank you,' or 'It's okay.'
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Put on a Cup of Tea
Can hardly wait to check
If I've received an message or comment,
addressed from you to me!.
I get my puter running
And much to my delight,
Your poems, jokes and other things
Come quickly into sight.
Please keep those messages and comments coming,
They are so enjoyable You see
Funny things, friendly things
Those things you leave for me.
But most of all the fun of it,
Is Guessing What might be
Tucked inside my puter

THE JOY OF FRESH FALLING SNOW
I HURRY TO GET OUTDOORS,
WITH LOTS OF GRAIN AND PLASTIC PAIL
I BEGIN TO DO MY CHORES.
BIRDS OF ALL DIFFERENT COLORS
ARRIVE TO SAMPLE MY SEEDS,
I LADLE OUT AN ASSORTMENT
TO SUPPLY THEIR HUNGRY NEEDS.
BLUE-JAYS, BRIGHT RED CARDINALS
WOODPECKERS, TIMID LITTLE TITMOUSE,
DOVES, WRENS, EVEN A GRAY SQUIRREL
THERE ARE FEEDERS ALL AROUND MY HOUSE.
GOD GAVE US THESE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS
TO PUT JOY INTO OUR WINTER DAY,
FEEDING THEM FILLS ME WITH PLEASURE
BECAUSE I WANT THEM ALL TO STAY.

* When tears are the only language you know, God hears.
* When darkness envelops your way, God sees.
* When pain forces you off course, God stabilizes.
* When loss wears you down, God comforts.
* When grief suspends your progress and saps hope, God remains.

Walk with Me, My child, through valleys gold and green;
I will show you wonders that you have never seen...
I'll lead you by still waters, over mountains high and low;
I'll hold your hand and never leave you; no matter where you go...
Walk with Me, My child... through the lies and pain;
I will carry your burden; and you'll find peace again...
Lift your eyes, My child; see beyond the past;
See I have come to help you; to mend your broken heart...
Oh, My child, My love, My life, listen to Me, please...
I love you... I want you... I miss you... you're the very heart of Me...
All My love

Fear not my creation
the day that lies ahead
For I was with you
the moment you stepped out of bed
Yes, even when you stumbled
I was standing right there
Instantly I sent in grace and mercy
To show how much I care
Even when fear approached
I never left you alone
I touched you with the finger of love
And told your doubts be gone
So just journey ahead faithfully
and I’ll take care of the rest
for the journey I’ve prepared for you
will leave you abundantly blessed

"A good laugh is sunshine in the house."
Just a little smile
Can uplift someone's day
Just a little kind word
Can help them on their way,
So show a little kindness
And show a little cheer
Uplift a soul that's down-hearted
Just show them you are here,
So show a little kindness
Show God's Love across this land
Cause our Savior gives it to us
It's Free, it's Mighty, it's Grand.

Don't cry little angel,
Your heart is in good hands.
You'll go the distance,
You'll travel distant lands.
Don't worry little angel,
Your tears will soon disappear.
You'll kill the pain and stand
With out fear.

Don't hide little angel,
There's no need to conceal.
Don't fear what your thinking,
Don't fear what you feel.
Just sing little angel,
Let heaven hear the voice it made.
Your melody is strong,
Your harmony won't fade.
You can laugh little angel,
You just don't forget.
Laughing heals the soul,
No one's proven me wrong yet.

Sometimes our vision clears only
after our eyes are washed with tears.
Sometimes we have to be broken
so we can be tender; sick, so we
can rest and think better on things
more important than work or fun.
Trip near death, so we can
assess how we've ran.

Life is like a patchwork quilt
And each little patch is a day,
Some patches are rosy, happy and bright,
And Some are dark and gray.
But each little patch as it's fitted in
And sewn to keep it together
Makes a finished block in this life of ours
Filled with sun, and with rainy weather.
So let me work on Life's patchwork quilt
Through the rainy days and the sun—
Trusting that when I have finished my block
The master may say: "Well done."

A Family is a blessing.
It means so many things.
Words could never tell
The joy a family brings.
A Family is a bond of faith
That even time can't sever.
A gift to last all of our lives-
A Family is forever.
The love in our Family
Flows strong and deep.
Leaving us memories
To treasure and keep.

To believe is to know that
every day is a new beginning.
Is to trust that miracles happen,
and dreams really do come true.
To believe is to see angels
dancing among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky
and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes
and the beauty of an aging hand,
for it is through their teachings we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength
and courage that lies within us
When it's time to pick up
the pieces and begin again.
To believe is to know
we are not alone,
That life is a gift
and this is our time to cherish it.
To believe is to know
that wonderful surprises are just
waiting to happen,
And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.
If only we believe.

HEAL THE PAST,LIVE THE PRESENT, AND DREAM THE FUTURE
We can't foresee the turning of the tide
When problems beset us and tears are cried.
Sometimes life deals from the bottom of the deck
Filling us with worry and leaving us a wreck.
The enemy seeks to devour and destroy,
Using deceptions to eliminate our joy.
While walking through the valley,
our heads hung low, ....
The mountain top seems so high,
our footsteps slow.
How many times have we traveled this road
To battle the frustrations of troubles bestowed?
Yet when we come to our darkest hour
God demonstrates His infinite power.
It doesn't matter how bad things might seem,
He always comes through, our faith to redeem.
God will not fail us in our times of pain.
He'll never forsake us, by our side He'll remain.
So when we find ourselves at a total loss
Or when the valley seems too wide to cross,
Just remember you're in His love and care,
Look over your shoulder, He's always there !

When a child is a victim of abuse by a member of their family,
their world has changed forever.
They may have loved their abuser
and the abuser has turned the relationship into something sadistic and cruel.
The victim of abuse is likely to feel very confused.
How can they sort out the feelings of affection that they have for their abuser
with the sick and disgusting act that was done to them.
Feelings that result from abuse should not be buried away.
As painful as it is,
victims must talk about their experience and share their pain with others.
Finding meaning in suffering is the road to healing.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
Chris's capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance:
SOMETHING Her GRANDMA GAVE HER AGES AGO.....
I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day.
I had so much to accomplish that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me, and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, You didn't ask," I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak.
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek.: I tried to come into God's presence.
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided, "My child, you didn't knock.
" I woke up early this morning and paused before enter the day.
I had so much to accomplish that i had to take time to pray.

Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
doing what you want to do,
and each day, take one step
towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
that you are the person you dreamed of,
doing what you wanted to do,
simply because you had the courage
to believe in your potential
and to hold on to your dream.

When friendships undergo a test
It's often found old friends are best;
The sampler on the parlour wall
Has these few lines which say it all;
The best of friends can change a frown
Into a smile when you feel down.
The best of friends will understand
Your little trials and lend a hand.
The best of friends will always share
Your secret dreams because they care.
The best of friends, worth more than gold,
Give all the love a heart can hold.
