<span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently came across several people using one of my original photos on Pinterest with a link to someone else's website, so I reported it. Pinterest deleted MY PINS. Can you believe that?? So, now it has a watermark. I will repost it. And they better not mess with me!!!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">This is the photo (in question) that I took of my original Victorian Hearts Charm Bracelet back in 2004 when my business name was Legacy 925. My Facebook page and Etsy store were also Legacy 925. In 2012, I changed the name of my business to Belle West. Since that time, I've made new bracelets and taken new photos, which I actually like better. But that doesn't mean it should be deleted from Pinterest. :(</span></span><br />

And, lastly, the same bracelet on a different background. The first photo, on crushed red velvet, did not have a watermark because it was taken back in the day, when such things were not considered important. Or, some of us had no idea people would be stealing our photographs to use on scammer websites... {insert angry emoticon} </div>

<br />
So, in my meanderings today, I posted a question in one of my bead groups on Facebook with this photo, and the crowd went wild! In other words, they liked my beads. Although I do not currently have any of these in stock {AB Labradorite Cubes}, I do hope to be getting more in soon, and will work diligently on restocking my pitiful gem store with some of the lovelies I've been hoarding in my bead closet.<br />
<br />
So, pray for me... because the sooner I get done with these taxes, the quicker I can get those gems listed. I don't do yoga, but I could certainly use some FOCUS... :)<br />

Facebook is making it harder and harder for small business pages to survive without paying for ads. Most of my posts are only seen by a few people. So, last night I decided to pay for an ad, just to see how many people would respond. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it seems to be working. I guess, in the future, I'll be paying or staying hidden.... but in the meantime, I'd like to invite you to drop by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BelleWestLLC" target="_blank">Belle West</a> on FB, and give me a 'Like' or comment. </div>

A Facebook friend lost her battle with cancer today. Her sister posted last night that she was nearing the end, and at a loss for words, I spent hours looking for something to express my feelings~ the right quote, verse or image, and came up empty. So, I turned to the Word of God and made this for Joanna from one of my favorite scriptures in Revelation.</div>

I never met <a href="http://mosshill.blogs.com/" target="_blank">Joanna Pierotti</a> in person, and only knew her on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MossHillStudio" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, but she was a sweet woman; a very talented artist who shamelessly shared her faith in Christ and was an inspiration to many. Below is a video of Joanna announcing a Mixed Media Workshop in 2011. I've never seen this before tonight. I found it while searching for her website. Isn't she the most precious and beautiful woman you've ever laid eyes on! What a sweet spirit. I would love to have met her and taken one of her classes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am grateful and honored to have known her, even it was only on Facebook. Such an inspiration, in her art and her faith. In this realm, she lost the battle with cancer. But in God's economy, she gained her eternal home, where there is no more pain, no more tears, no more suffering. Forevermore in the Presence of her Beloved.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just saw this recipe on Facebook and HAD to pin it, but when I pinned from the {original} website, Pinterest blocks the page link saying they've been reported as spam. It's just a RECIPE, people. Chill out! So, here it is with a link to the original site. I promise my blog is safe. I am not spam. Although I did eat a lot of it as a child. :P</span><br />

<b style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">To assemble:</b> Spread a layer of frosting on top of one chocolate cake. Using edges of foil as handles, remove cheesecake from pan and peel away foil. Carefully layer the cheesecake on top of the frosted cake. If the cheesecake becomes hard to work with, you can place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. Spread some chocolate frosting on top of the cheesecake layer. Place second chocolate cake on top and ice with frosting on top and on all sides. Decorate the sides of the cake with Hershey’s chocolate chips.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Chocolate Mayonnaise Cakes have been around forever. It was one of the first recipes I gleaned as a teenager from my mother's recipe box. In all the years I've had this recipe, I've never made it. I am ashamed of myself. When I saw the photo of this one with peanut butter frosting, I melted in my chair. I </span>suddenly<span style="font-family: inherit;"> have the need to make this. But I might be making mine with Ghirardelli Cocoa. If I do, I'll report back and let you know how it was. :)</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting~</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>CAKE:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 2 cups all-purpose Flour </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 2/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder</span><br />
~I prefer Ghirardelli Cocoa, it tastes heavenly...<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 3 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1 2/3 cups sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1 teaspoon vanilla </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1 1/3 cups water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Preheat oven to </span>350°<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Grease and lightly </span>flour<span style="font-family: inherit;"> two 9" round cake pans. Set aside. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. In </span>medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.<br />
<br />
3. In large bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in *real mayonnaise at low speed until blended. Alternately, beat in flour mixture with water, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Pour into prepared pans.<br />
<br />
4. Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks 10 minutes, remove from pans and cool completely. Frost, if desired, or sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.<br />
<br />
*Can also be baked in a 9x13" pan for 40 minutes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>FROSTING:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 3 cups powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1/3 cup peanut butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla</span><br />
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Mix powdered sugar and peanut butter in medium bowl with spoon or </span>electric<span style="font-family: inherit;"> mixer on low </span>speed<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Stir in vanilla and 1/4 cup milk. Beat until smooth </span>and<span style="font-family: inherit;"> spreadable. If necessary, stir in additional milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Spread over cool cake and enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Note</b>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The original <a href="http://www.hellmanns.com/recipes/detail/35904/1/chocolate-mayonnaise-cake" target="_blank">Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake Recipe</a> is from Hellmann's and is exactly the same as the one above.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Have you ever felt broken? Shattered beyond repair and desperately wanting to be whole? </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">But the more you prayed about something, the worse it got? You wondered if God was even hearing your prayers?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Well, that's how I was feeling. Until today. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I had a 'woman at the well' encounter, and it was one of the most profound, healing experiences I have ever had. I was on my way to the altar this morning for prayer when a woman headed me off at the pass, so I stood in the front row, waiting my turn, and suddenly, the man (directly) behind me began to pray. At first, I wasn't paying attention, and then </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I realized he was praying for me... or, at least it sounded like he was... he was praying very specific things that were big on my heart... like he KNEW me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So, after the service, I walked over and told him, "I don't know who you were praying for, but that was exactly what I needed." He took my hand and told me that God had told him to pray for me, and he began to pray for me again. This time his wife joined him and they continued to pray together, for things that were so deep inside of me, things that had happened to me, that only God could know. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">By the time they finished praying, I felt like the woman at the well who had met Jesus for the very first time and He knew everything about her. Not in a bad, invasive way. But in a beautiful, healing, comforting way... things I have been asking God about and begging for answers to, and He met me right there, using someone I've never even seen before...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I want you to know today that God hears your every prayer, He sees you where you are, He saves your every tear, and He cares so deeply for you. He longs to heal you~ body, mind and soul... your heart, your family, your every single need. Never, ever believe the lies of the enemy that you are nothing to God, and that your life is not important. He made you in His image and He loves you with an everlasting love. So, rest in Him. Trust in Him. Abide in Him. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always loved the romantic era of the Titanic and the opulence of that magnificent ship. Since moving back to Colorado, I've dreamt of visiting the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver and finally had the perfect excuse to go when a friend visited from NC last year. We were blessed with a special tour that included a story of that fateful night as seen from the different passengers onboard. And, being the 100 Year Anniversary, there was a Titanic exhibit with a few items from the ship. Although they don't allow photos inside the home, I took a few of the exhibit and wanted to share them with you.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always been a lover of pearls and have wanted to try pearl knotting for years. So, when a longtime friend asked if I could make her three long pearl necklaces, to wear separately or together, I thought, "This could be fun..."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhD4skCcxqiEzfq122hK-FYv6qoA_Ec7vykq7am3RWYP2y-7m5PT0EvbhBSDYqVzhq6u4bhwevjVq2NbVliDx-lb_flwzFMTpK09pdOPabBEyCi7EV7fdS5oK0DSN5xC6dldRY_GkpcXw/s1600/W-Sharon-UpClose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhD4skCcxqiEzfq122hK-FYv6qoA_Ec7vykq7am3RWYP2y-7m5PT0EvbhBSDYqVzhq6u4bhwevjVq2NbVliDx-lb_flwzFMTpK09pdOPabBEyCi7EV7fdS5oK0DSN5xC6dldRY_GkpcXw/s400/W-Sharon-UpClose.jpg" title="Belle West~ Adventures in Pearl Knotting" width="225" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The request was for three 40" pearl necklaces, 1 black, 1 gray, 1 white.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first challenge was finding the right pearls. And, as chance would have it, once I found the black, the gray and white just came to me. Undeniably divine appointment. ;)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFT_r_qtwlDPlrwy-u4pP2IVco0vCizzk3XLaNDm9iGYtWMymTjBJmI6xEtRCrRGt2fM2E63ar-WYETyyk6jStnxVmuPEofW6g_BrxZCtJ_0fx6xn-H7-2HBPeNzLeQkqi26ke559SuiA/s1600/W-Sharon+Gray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFT_r_qtwlDPlrwy-u4pP2IVco0vCizzk3XLaNDm9iGYtWMymTjBJmI6xEtRCrRGt2fM2E63ar-WYETyyk6jStnxVmuPEofW6g_BrxZCtJ_0fx6xn-H7-2HBPeNzLeQkqi26ke559SuiA/s400/W-Sharon+Gray.jpg" title="Belle West~ Adventures in Pearl Knotting" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next challenge was finding the right accents. I couldn't see 3 long strands of boring pearls, they needed a little bling. But not too much, since they would be worn together. Again, divine provision was made and I just happened to have the perfect beads on hand.</div>
