Because I can...

Last month I was asked to create a piece of jewelry for this great annual fundraiser put on by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Texas.  Event tickets are steep at $500 each, but it's such a worthwhile cause.  Every $1000 they raise will help move a kid off the waiting list to be paired with a Big Brother or Big Sister of his or her own.  Such a great mentoring program for at-risk kids! 

And while you're there, you'll have a chance to bid on my sterling toggle bracelet and earrings with freshwater pearls and Czech glass beads (number 525 in the auction catalog) as well as many other great auction items.
