I'm proud of myself today

I just had to get back here and blog today. Yes, I did add those new items to my Etsy shop today, and yes, I'm having a FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR SALE right now until 8:00pm EST. What I'm proud of is my current photos of my jewelry designs. I have to say that I have greatly improved, and have learned how to use most of the features on my camera. I was so impressed with my new pictures, that I went back and re-took a number of pictures of items that I really thought needed improvement. Now you can see just how pretty some of my jewelry is! First, I added 3 new earrings to my shop today, the black raku lampwork and Mykonos pewter pendants having to be my favorites. I have many more of these lampwork beads (from Evolving Beads) so I just might have to make myself a pair, but I was thinking of doing a sterling swirl of wire hanging from the beads. I'll post pictures of that if I make them. So here's what's new:




Next, I just want to show you some of my updated photos of items already in my shop. I have this wrought iron tripod candle stand that turned out to be a great background for photos. And I took it outside to use natural light, which I now am comfortable doing since the temperature here has come down a little, it is pleasant to be outside. And no mosquitoes biting me! Check these out. Some of them with the sunlight hitting the beads are just fabulous! (If I say so myself!)






If you wish to see more of these, go to my Etsy shop, as these items have all new pictures. Well, what do you all think? I hear dinner calling so I'm off! Till next time........

Cindy, you pictures are wonderful! Redoing pics is a lot of work, but definitely worth it!

I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

January 2015 Nature Box subscription picks

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes...
