Looking for a Home

2009-05-16T15:51:00.000-07:00

After many weeks of looking for a place to have a full time store. Have decided to open a Store in the La Gran Plaza Fashion in Guadalajara, Mexico. So at the present time we are working on moving all things to Mexico.
We have located a nice house just outside of Tepatitlan, MX. This will make it about a 25 min drive to the Mall. As I have been busy with the move I have had very little time to work on my Crosses. Plan to be finished with the move by the 1st of July, 2009. And would like to have our Store Open the 1st of August, 2009.

March 1 2008,

Finally after working for the last 2 weeks have been able to get the new web site up and working. Have been working on getting good photos of the crosses. So that they show the beauty of each. Still have a long ways to go to get all of the photos on the site. I guess that have over a 1000 to get on to the site. It has been just over 15 months since I made the first cross. Still hard to believe how God has call on me to made these unique crosses. Each cross that we ( God & I ) make is designed for someone special.

Get a better handle on how to take good clear photos, as you can see by the business card holder photos.
