My New Etsy Shop!!
I am soo excited!! I just opened a new Etsy shop for my jewelry. I don't have any listings, yet, but will make it a priority tomorrow tonight!
I have created some very wonderful pieces and am so shocked that I didn't craft or create until nearly three years ago.
These are only a small samples of what I have created - just wait and see!

Slow Food - Have You Heard Of It?
A few weeks ago, I heard the term, "slow food." I had never heard of it before, have you?
Apparently, it's the family sitting down to a home cooked meal! I guess there's so much fast food out there that sitting down to a good home cooked meal is rare.
Nearly every evening my family has a home cooked meal, usually cooked by me and I had never thought of this as odd or uncommon.
How many nights do you eat "slow food"?

Free Giveaway - The first SIX to comment On My Blog!
The other day, I actually "bought" my first Pay It Forward (PIF) on www.etsy.com I "bought" some glitter. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, maybe I'll figure it out when it arrives. As I have a near six-year-old daugter, I'm sure she'll have ideas, too!
I also left a comment on the blog of http://ladyisra.blogspot.com/2009/04/first-five-to-comment-win.html . He has/had a givaway, too. She inspired me to do the same:)
Up for grabs are two alligator clips(it may be one set or any two clips of your choice) or any two snap clips of your choice from www.hairflair.ca or www.hairflair.etsy.com NOTE: www.hairflair.ca does not have snap clips, you will have to go through my Etsy shop for your choices - be sure to also check out my 'sold' items, too!
That's it! Sieze The Day!!

Getting Closer....
I know I've blogged about my procrastination before and, well, nothing's changed. I gave myself a 7 weeks to complete nearly 600 hair clips.
Well, I found other things to create instead and shop on-line. I love shopping on-line. I recently bought this: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=14445010 .
Oops, a little off topic there - what do you expect, I'm writing and showing all of you fine people out there in Blogger land what I'm NOT doing! LOL!
I have made about 300 or so clips at this point. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a few more completed - wish me luck!
What are you putting off?

Favorite Sayings
I have several 'favorite' sayings:
- Sometimes you're the statue. Sometimes you're the pigeon.
- When opportunity knocks, don't knock it.
- Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
- Inch by inch is a cinch, but by the yard, it's hard.
- Piece of sh*t. (Saying that one just makes me feel better sometimes, especially when I've been the statue!)
- What comes around, goes around.
- Sometimes it's just best to cut your losses.
These are a few that I like the best (and that come to mind.)

Making A Dull Bead Shine
I frequent the Etsy forums and one night, a poster, DesignsByLucinda asked for six takers of 1 (each) of a plain, 1" bead. It's matte, marble. The idea is to see what six different people can do with the bead, providing it's the focal point. The whole scenario will be blogged about by http://www.silverriverjewelry.blogspot.com/
It was referred to as a "Bow Wow" bead. I had to ask what "Bow Wow" meant. Apparently, it's a bead that does not stimulate the owner in creating with it.
This is what I created with it (please note the matching earrings):
I would consider myself a novice jewelry maker, but am quickly becoming hooked!
What's got you 'hooked'?
