Weekly update, more stamping and eye candy

I must say, it's getting harder and harder to make blog posts. But I'm here today, so I guess that's what matters!
I've been struggling with photography issues again. At first I thought it was the camera battery, but I used 2 different ones, totally charged, and I am having trouble taking photos on a black background in natural light. I like this background, as it makes for nice gallery shots. What I think I've discovered is the shutter speed is not moving fast enough to take a clear photo, and I don't know how or if I can adjust it. My camera is a Sony Cyber-shot W-290,similar to this one:

Any suggestions?
Here's a look at some more stamping earrings I've made this week.




My favorite pair is the ones with the red lampwork beads. I think I'll be making a pair for myself!
I did go on a "shopping bonanza" this past week, buying alot of new beads lampwork. It has made me feel energized with new ideas! Plus, I've had requests from one of the shops I sell in,to bring in more beaded designs.
I'll have more new goodies soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Key board issues~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I need a new one. This one is not keeping up with my speed of typing! Is Mercury in retrograde or something?

I'll be going to a large fine art show this weekend. One I had hoped to apply to, but didn't have the finances for. I know a couple of artists who will be showing this weekend.
OK, no more typing!

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

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
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 .

What beautiful paintings, artisan made pottery, wall hangings, glass! You can find it here: http://www.paintedfishgallery.com Then I went and picked up my check from working last week.
