Hello Everyone!

[Marilyn]

Sheesh ... I actually forgot I was a member of this community, until I got a comment alert! Life is progressing it seems, at the speed of light sometimes! But, here I am and boy have things changed for me! Last Fall during very high gas prices and seemingly difficult economic times, I made the decision to let go of my MRKJewelry web site and domain name . . . bad idea! No sooner did that transpire then, someone else snagged my domain name and turned it into a jewelry search engine!! of all things! I thought I would cut my costs . . . and I did Esty awhile and Artfire which was very short lived but, for me it just wasn't working out. I know some people it has been a great experience for them and that's okay, I just feel I personally do better with a web site of my own. But, in the meantime I got my jewelry into the Adams Art Gallery in Mount Sterling which is, about 17 miles away from my house and that has worked out really great! Also completed my first jewelry metalsmithing class that Fall too at the Cultural Arts Center in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Soooooooo many possibilities!!! I loved it! Am I tellin' my life story here hehee you betcha' that my Minnesota accent slippin' out again ;-) ( I use to live there for a few years after moving from Montana whaaa - ok ok )

But, I will continue my journey at a much earlier time I think, because it is nearly 2 AM!

Love ya' all and the very best to you!
