Bryan and I...well mainly Bryan...are making survival bracelets as a hobby. If you dont know what they are here is a brief description....

Survival Straps are stylish bracelets & gear that can help you survive whatever life throws at you. A fashionable yet functional bracelet...suitable for men and women. They are made in America from super strong paracord which gives them a secondary purpose. In an emergency situation, unravel the bracelet to deploy the paracord to help get you out of a jam. Able to hold up to 500lbs and contain over 8ft of cord in one bracelet.

We have several colors...and the new metallic colors (in gold and silver) will be available soon! *See pictures above for sample bracelets and color options.

*Pricing details: if you want a small bracelet they are $12 and the large are $18 (includes shipping)--very reasonable pricing!!! You can facebook Bryan or I if you would like to place an order. We will message/email you payment information for privacy purposes.

*Be sure to include in your order request:

1) wrist size in inches (i.e. 6"-1/2, or 7"-1/8)

2) small or large bracelet

3) which color(s) you want

4) shipping address

We look forward to seeing all of our friends and family in our stylish hobby! ;)

Resolutions

Hello long lost blog readers...Im WAY behind! Someday I will write and update on all the things that have gone on since I wrote last, but for now....Happy 2012! :)

Cant believe another year is gone! We are looking forward to a happy and healthy new year. Thinking back on all we went through last year makes us feel all the more blessed and know that God is with us everyday. I think we both appreciate each other, life, and the love of friends and family more.

I was just reflecting on the word 'resolution' today and thinking of how I use it in my life. I dont make "new years resolutions". One reason because I know I wont stick to it, and two because I feel it puts too much pressure on me to be perfect. Not that there's anything wrong with making a resolution for the new year...I just know its not for me. Resolution the word has many meanings...it could mean to resolve a problem or issue in one's life. Or you could resolve to stop smoking, stop a bad habit or begin doing something better in your life (all great things!)

Or take for example, the 'resolution' on a TV screen, the more the pixels the higher/better the resolution. When all those thousands of pixels come together they make a perfect picture. Hence why people want the "perfect" higher res TV. But we were not made in God's eyes to be perfect, we are sinners and must remind ourselves of that, and ask for forgiveness often. It is ok to not be "high resolution"..something I must tell myself a lot.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. "

So this year I strive among LOTS of other things...to love harder, focus on God more, let go of having to be in control...and have less pixels ;) Wish you all a wonderful and blessed 2012!

Eva J's

Since we posted last....

My Mom is retired! Yay! After over 40 yrs in the Knox County School system :) We threw her a successful (and sometimes stressful-ha! ) surprise party. She was very surprised and had a great time.

The decor booth in Cincy is now officially open! EVA J's (named after my grandmother) is inside the Home by Design store in West Chester, OH :) If you live in Cincy and are reading this, come and check it out! My Mom is opening her own EVA J's booth inside Nostalgia store in Knoxville, TN. So happy Mom and I share the "decorating gene" ;)

Bryan and I just celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! :) hard to believe how time flies...we've know each other for 12 yrs!
