    Mark - you "rock" as a parent!!!  My mother has always said my best
    artwork is my 13 year old "performing art piece" - my daughter!  She
    has really gained self-confidence by making and selling jewelry.  We
    both hope to learn to cut some day! 

    She has been going to conventions with dh and myself in his business
    since she was 3 months old, and the experience of travel and mingling
    with adults, and seeing the work in selling a product is priceless. 
    I think there were a lot of benefits to the old ways of kids learning
    a trade with parents that are lost in how we do things now.  Too many
    kids only see the money to spend, and not the work that went into
    getting the money! 

Best wishes to your sons and you.
Beth in SC
