Quiche me!! 😘 Who would’ve ever thought this would be considered a “special” meal?? But now with the price of eggs it’s more expensive than the chicken that laid them! 🥚 🥚 🐓 💰 🤑

Today’s the day! We have made it to the 8 week mark!Beau Scout has his follow up x-rays to check on how well he’s recovering. He had to have his “sleepytime meds” so he will be chill enough for them to do the scans. Fingers crossed and prayers for a great report! 🧡🐶🧡

TAKE A HIKE!! 🥾 🥾 🌲

I did! Spending time outside with my daughter was some of the best therapy I had in a while… and the weather was just perfect! ☀️ We hiked Durant Nature Park, which was the original BSA Camp Durant before it was moved to Carthage. BE SURE TO GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY NATURE!

Black Dragon Pen, made of black acrylic resin cast with aluminum honeycomb, and finished with antique pewter trim. Showcases the dragon, the claws, and the dragon stone on the cap. It is quite a unique piece of art! Visit our shop at www.lathelifecreations.com to see more of our designs.

One of my FAVORITES! Working on a batch of colored pencil pen blanks. It takes 5 regular boxes of Crayola pencils, and quite a bit of trimming them down to fit in the mold. I’m excited to see how they turn out this time! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #coloredpencilpens www.lathelifecreations.com

WHY AREN’T MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS??
It's been less than a decade since the New York Times freaked out about a Senate-confirmed Secretary of State using private email.

But a plutocrat with multifarious business interests downloading petabytes of sensitive data about everyone who lives in the United States from government servers?

At his resurrection, Jesus Christ entrusted women to go out and share the Good News!

I stand firm in the Gospel’s call for justice, mercy, and love and I stand with Bishop Budde, and I am proud of my church for standing with her also! ❤️

A few of my recent pieces that I’ve created in my lathe. These are all cigar style pens, made of an aluminum honeycomb and acrylic, and finished with stunning trims. I love all of the colors!
