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........

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

Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life edited by Bryan Curtis

What a great book of inspirational quotes by many famous people. This is a compilation of pages and pages of wisdom from authors, presidents, sports figures, entrepreneurs, cultural leaders, and the like. I really enjoyed reading this book. The quotes are not just inspirational to professional people in the business world, but also, they grasp the sense of good values, and positive traits that all persons should strive for in their lives. Some of the quotes make you think and ponder over them. The book is presented in a non-descriptive cover, subtle, yet attractive. It is an easy read, not overly stuffed with nonsense, or too much content. You could read a page a day for inspiration, or daily meditation. It is not a biblical book at all, in my opinion, just great reading. I would definitely recommend this book to all who wish to aspire to a greater level of success, whether it is in a business situation, or not. This would make a great gift book as well. Maybe a coffee table book even.
