Victory Gems for Victory Junction

We are very excited about a new line of Jewelry created exclusively to support Victory Junction. Our colleague, Dave at Design Surveys has a friend in California who designs Jewelry. When she heard about the camp, she was moved to develop a line of items to support camp construction. Please visit her site and consider getting your credit card out while you are there. It's for a wonderful cause. Thank you Kate.

Kansas Children's Discovery Center

Recently one of our newly completed projects was opened to the public.

The Kansas Children's Discovery Center is such a cool place it makes me want to be a kid again. Apparently I am not the only one who feels that way. When I went to take some photos of the outside of the building, the parking lot was completely filled with cars and there were hundreds of kids inside the facility and these were kids too young to drive.

Make plans to visit this cool new museum when you can. It's "Serious Fun."
