The following are some awesome business that makes doing what I do possible. . . check back now and then because I'll be adding to this list when I can!

Faith Davis-Ferris - Faith is a great friend and supporter of my efforts!  She makes some of the coolest lampwork beads around and is a wealth of information.

Sova Enterprises and Bead-Patterns.com - owned and operated by Dave and Rita Sova.  As mentioned on the patterns page elsewhere in this site, Rita gave me the courage to take the plunge to start doing patterns.  What a great couple to get to work with!

Eggcellent Embroidery - an eBay store run by Pat Gardner.  Pat's mission is to make quality, custom embroidered clothing available to the small business!  A great lady to work with - thanks Pat!

http://www.jerichospa.com?kbid=100440 - Julie Colish was on of my English professors at the University of Michigan - Flint (go U of M-Flint! <grin>).  We've kept in touch over the years, so here's my plug for her new business venture that she has started with her brother.  They import beauty products made from the natural resources found in and around the Dead Sea.  Check 'em out!  And if you buy something when you click on this link, I'll not only get credit as an affiliate, but you'll get a 10% discount if you use the code NEWSITE at checkout!

http://www.flinteastsidemission.org - Serving the East side of Flint for 12 years, the Mission does an awesome job of not only feeding the hungry and clothing the needy. . . they also feed their souls and point them to the TRUTH.  I'm honored to work there once each week and be in charge of their quarterly newsletter!

www.encouragers4you.com - A good friend and fellow clown (yes, I clown once in awhile too!), Joy Bell Barber, wanted a site to showcase her poems and thoughts as a true encourager of the fellowship of Christ.

Nor-East'r Folk Arts Festival - Yearly folk festival in the beautiful north country of Michigan!  Features crafts, food, concerts and fun-fun-FUN!  I have a standing booth at this festival and wouldn't miss it.  Great family friendly environment!
