They say you can't keep it unless you give it away! So I am! I feel like I have had so much support (so many helping hands if you will) on this journey of mine from all of you that I want to give something back. That said I have created this hand of grace necklace to give away to one lucky soul. Make a comment about how art has healed or continues to heal your life by the end of Sunday. Monday morning I will announce the winner. Be grateful. Be gracious. Be blessed.
A heart in the hand is the key to my happiness .... I must say that I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends. I had dinner with my dear friend Judi 
last night who presented me with wonderful little treasures from her recent trip to the east coast from Ornamentea - this darling little bird and luscious copper chain. So I was driven to make something this evening from them. I had this hand charm that I just love which also reminds me of my friendship with Judi as she has a "thang" for hands. This piece also embodies a life long friendship as I make it on the eve of my jaunt to my oldest and dearest friend's home in Pleasanton for the weekend - Denise ... 
and plan to wear it on my trip. And last link of friendship here is my darling Nina - 
as she is the one who taught me the beautiful skills to make such a piece. So I do indeed hold the treasures of friendship in my heart and hands.
