More from Jack Shonk

I thought it only fair to keep y'all in the loop concerning the Kardashian/Humphries baseball scandal.

This was my response:

Dad,

Please don't spend my inheritance on anything KK even looked at or breathed on. Thank you. Your money is best spent on one of the necklaces I made in Sterling Silver that will benefit the Richmond SPCA on my website. Lucy will love it and it will help doggies like Memore get fixed. Have you been looking at my website and blog? I have been updating everyday. Your loving only daughter,

Karyn Shonk

and my brother's:

Dad it is very disturbing to me that you follow the kardashians. If u don't stop your going in a home.


and last but not least.....I give you my father:

It is obvious based on messages from BOTH of my children that you do not take me seriously. One trying to put me in a home and the other trying to sell me jewelry which I cant wear to my club. All I was trying to do was to invest in a priceless artifact that would enhance any inheritance that you might have coming from my vast estate (If by vast estate he means his endless coin collection and wall of hats I am really going to miss out!).

Dad Shonk.

I hope you find this as funny as I do and I promise no more s..t my dad says. At least about "The Baseball".

Love and a Bullet....Day 4 of the VDay Giveaway

Congratulations GingerMandy!!! You won the birds nest set!!!!


In the spirit of adventure and keeping things interesting my husband took me to the shooting range last weekend. Maybe not my first choice for a hot Saturday night but I gamely shot a 22 revolver and called it a day while hubby shot semi automatics. As he was shooting, I was dodging brass casings like shrapnel when lightening struck:
There's jewelry in this here shooting range!
I started gathering up the casings and stuffing my purse like a little old lady hoarding equal packets at a Dennys.
These are GEN-U-WINE recycled bullet casings and one lucky winner will be able to choose between these three necklaces. They are about 33 inches long and I freaking LOVE them! Hopefully you do to. Now get to commenting you crazy kids!

And Now....a Message from my Dad.....

I received this email from my highly conservative, extremely sarcastic retired father this morning and had to share:

Dear Andy and Karyn,

There is news. Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian signed a baseball at a Minnesota Twins game in July. The Twins are auctioning off the baseball. I believe I will bid on this wonderful item. What do you members of the family think? Can't you just picture this ball on the mantle maybe next to Karyns picture? Have a wonderful day. Looking forward to your supportive responses.
Daddio Shonk


And THAT is where I get my sense of humor!
