I'm Baaaaack!

This post is going to be a short one. I just want everyone to know that I have not disappeared. Please give me another couple of days and I promise to have quite a few new photos posted of what's been keeping me busy lately!

I had my daughter, Jenny's, birthday (10/31)...her party (11/1)...her school's Fall Festival (11/7) of which I'm her class mom and was in charge of a scrapbooking basket to put together...and then a craft fair I had a table at on 11/14! Needless to say I've been BUSY! I'm finally not committed to anything "major" but of course I now have an amazing head cold to contend with. C'est la vie!

For this craft fair my table was about two thirds jewelry and one third Stampin' Up! creations. I'm really happy...my table did well...surprisingly so! I got a lot of compliments on my jewelry, so I was very excited. It's nice knowing that I'm not the only one who likes my stuff.

Here's a picture of me and my table.
Check in again by Wednesday and I'll definitely have all my pictures up. Thanks for sticking with me!

I'm on a roll now!

Well, I'm moving along quite nicely now. I figured out how to change the time stamp on this blog. It had me on Pacific Time...I needed Eastern!

So, after my first post I was inspired to finally take pictures of some of my jewelry and upload them. I'll have to figure out how to take better pictures though. I'm not doing the jewelry justice. I love the way light bounces off the facets of the Swarovski crystals!

One bracelet I made was done using Swarovski crystals in Montana, Light Peach and the new Cantaloupe. Cantaloupe is a very interesting color. Depending on the light it comes off as three very different colors. This bracelet is shown above in the three photos...yes, it's the same bracelet! In natural light (larger picture) Cantaloupe shows as a light grey, in fluorescent light (top small picture) it looks like a peridot green and in incandescent light (bottom small picture) it looks like a rosy-peach color. So, needless to say I had to come up with colors that would compliment it no matter what light it would be worn in!

My next step will be to take pictures of my Stampin' Up! stuff. I have cards, stationary sets, clipboards and frames. Hopefully I'll sign up for another craft fair this fall. They're alot of fun to showcase your products and to meet new people. Or in some cases, the same people that you saw at the previous craft show you were in!

If you see any of my items that you like, I'd love to read your comments. I would appreciate all critiques, whether positive or negative. You can only learn from others and make changes to improve! Thanks for reading & please save me in your favorites.
