I have had many CPR classes over the last 20+ years but was never told this…..
Have you ever thought about it ❤️
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:
1.Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2. You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.

Our last show of the year was a Christmas show at the Berglund Center in Roanoke, Dec. 2 and 3. Two and a half weeks before on Nov. 12 David lost his son. It was hard preparing for the show and taking care of the arrangements and all the details that requires.
David Jr had collected trading card all this life and for the last several years he began collecting used costome jewelry ,
We would like to set up a memorial fund for his 2 children and 2 granddaughers by selling some of these pieces at our From Rock To Jewelry events, that will be offered at a discount. This money will be kept separate from our From Rocks To Jewelry money. If anyone is interested in a piece, please message me and we'll meet you or mail it to you with a small charge for postage. Cash or checks and a minimum of $10.00 if you use a credit card.

This is a set of brass vintage earrings. 10.00, obo,

We had a great time at the Bonsack Baptist Church Craft Show. It means so much when previous buyers come by to see us. It amazes me how many adults collected rocks as children and still love looking at them when they are our age and older. We look forward to seeing you again next week at the Botetourt High School Band Booster Craft Show. We are working hard to replace the pieces we sold before next Saturday. Once again, thanks for your encouragement.

From Rocks to Jewelry

We make all our cabochons ourselves. We find the rocks or order them online. Once they arrive we saw them into slabs and then draw the shape we want to grind them into. We use our cabbing machine to shape and polish the stones. They are then ready to wrap. This started out as a hobby but we accumulate so many wrapped cabochons that we wanted to share their beauty with others to enjoy. We have at least 100 cabochons ready to wrap and it anyone is interested in seeing what we have to pick out a special one, we'd be glad to post them. I can use gold to wrap the stones but it costs a lot more than sterling silver. 14/20 yellow gold filled square wire is $12.83 per foot. It takes as much as 3 feet for a medium size stone to complete a wrap.
