NO ONE and I mean NO ONE! is better than anyone else, and my heart is sad for those who think they are. No matter how big your house is, how new your car is,or how much you feel your educated, or how much money sits in your bank account - we all bleed red and will eventually fade from this earth. Death has no discrimination, and neither should your life. Be kind to others. We are all here to serve. Stop the power tripping. Your oversized ego won’t get you anywhere. Be humble and kind! Very few will read this far, but if you’re genuine, I challenge you to copy. Most won’t because they’re the type of people I’m talking about. Truth! 💯🙌🏽

Some day, I would like to sit on my porch with the first twelve people who like this status with a glass of Pepsi, sweet tea, coke, coffee, wine whatever. And just talk; talk about life and how far we all have come. All you have to do is like this status and put the same text on your profile page. Curious who my first twelve porch friends would be! (Those who do not paste it themselves will not be counted in the 12.)
This should be interesting!!! 😉👊

I had some custom orders for this month.Got them done last night. Custom orders are great to do, because I get to do what the customer wants to see, not just what is on my mind. I get to see another person's view of my product.
Custom order #1…
This is an Elk Antler Bolo tie with Deer Antler Tips. The center is a Zuni Indian style cabochon with a silver bezel. The antler tips are capped with wood inlay. I make a lot of Bolo Ties. We live in The Bolo Tie State. Love Arizona…
Custom order #2…
This is a man-made Ivory Pendant. The butterfly and flower inlay are made from turquoise chips and dyed Birchwood. The pendant is backed with Rosewood and trimmed with a silver bezel and bail. I used two colors of man-made Ivory in the butterfly pendant…
Custom order #3…
This is a wooden Hair Barrette. It has quarter sawn Oakwood for the Barrette and an Ironwood push stick. The inlay is man-made Ivory, dyed Birchwood and Turquoise. Hair Barrettes are harder to construct because they are more curved than a buckle and are hard to set in the inlay pieces on the round surface. Fun project to do though…

Cowboy Boot Lamps Howdy! Howdy! How many places do you think that cow poke walked, or how many times did he mount a saddle in those boots? How many bar rails did he step up to? Lots of stories of where those boots did their walking. Old cowboy boots are great things to decorate with. I have made a l...

A turquoise inlay of a majestic elk. Maybe he’s about to graze in an early morning misty meadow up in the mountains.
