Angels on Stage

I received a request for a Custom Etsy Order yesterday. I feel honored to be creating pendants for this Fabulous Group of people and just wish I lived near them in Northern California so that I could attend their upcoming performance of the Jungle Book. Please click on "Angels on Stage" above and it will take you over to their site. Thanks so much Nina for choosing me to make these for you.

I think it's amazing how we grow so much as people when we have a child with a disease or dissability. We learn not to "Sweat the Small Stuff" and Learn to Turn negatives in to positives. I have tried to Teach this to Cameron as well and he is an Awesome Student. He tells me from time to time that as much as Diabetes Sucks he is so glad that I don't work outside the home anymore. We are always talking about how if it werent for his Diabetes we would do this or that differently. I am so proud of him and think our family is stronger and closer beacause of him. Don't get me wrong there are bad days with tears and anger but the good definitely outweigh the bad.

More Diabetes Awareness Pendants

These are a few more I have finished. Cam's Favorite is Diabetes Sucks !

Happy 4th - 2009

Happy 4th of July !

I am so grateful for all our Brave Men and Women serving in Iraq as well as other areas in the world ~ Thank you for protecting our FREEDOM !

The kids are out of school now as of last Thursday. Lacey will be starting Junior High as a 7th grader at Hunter Jr. High when she goes back to school in August and Cam will return at the end of this month as a 5th Grader. He is looking forward to being the only Paschall at Valley Crest at not having all of Lacey's friends scream out his name and give him hugs. Honestly I think he will miss them.

Mike got the boat out yesterday, checked out everything, made a couple of small repairs and cleaned it up. We are hoping to have it in the water in a couple of weeks.

Lacey will be at Girls camp all next week and Cam and I have plans to see movies, go to Hollywood Connection and the Centennial Park pool.

Next Month is Cruefest 2 and the Walk to Cure Diabetes at Wheeler Farm.
If you have made a Donation to JDRF ~ Thank you very much. I have had so much going on that I have not gotten Thank you cards out, but please know that we are very grateful !
I have tons of inventory and plan to have a fundraiser ~ I just need to set a date.

A bit of info about JDRF

About JDRF:

JDRF was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with type 1 (juvenile) diabetes -- a disease that strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Since inception, JDRF has awarded more than $1.16 billion to diabetes research, including more than $137 million in FY2007. More than 85 percent of JDRFs expenditures directly support research and research-related education. In FY2007, the Foundation funded 700 centers, grants and fellowships in 20 countries. JDRF's mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.


JDRF continues to make progress toward a cure for type 1 diabetes. Your donation will make a dramatic impact as JDRF moves life altering research out of the lab and into human clinical trials. Typically, more than 85 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education.

Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. By supporting JDRF's mission to find a cure you won't only be saving children, you will be saving childhoods.

For more information about type 1 diabetes and research efforts for the cure, please visit www.jdrf.org.
