Sneak Peek

I just finished taking some pictures of jewelry that I've made and will be listing on my website soon. (If you didn't know I sold jewelry - SURPRISE!) Since I'm away from home and don't have everything I need to accurately list them, I've decided to give ya'll a sneak peek. I'm excited about how some of these turned out. Let me know if there's anything you love or hate!

Seasons of Love

You may not have known (or maybe you did) that I have several loves in my life (aside from friends and family of course). These include scrapbooking, making jewelry, writing children's books, and the occasional sewing project. Not to mention singing and dancing and reading! Ben says I try to do too much. He's probably right. I always have to have at least one thing going, so this is his suggestion: Devote each season to a different hobby. So in winter it's jewelry, spring it's scrapbooking and so on. Too bad I'm just not that kind of person! When a story idea or a new jewelry design or the urge to scrapbook hits, I've just gotta do it - I can't wait for the right season to come along! But maybe I will be better about not taking time I should be spending with my family to do these things. Maybe. We'll see.
