New member of "createaday.blogspot.com"

I just joined an awesome blog site called "Create-A-Day" which is comprised of other fellow Etsy artisans of various crafts. They're all awesome. Go and check it out for yourself at createaday.blogspot.com. You can see all the terrific pieces that they've completed that day. The goal is to try to create something everyday. What a great concept! It's the creation of enigmachck of enigmachck.etsy.com.

Well, here's a brand spanking new Vintage necklace that I created yesterday. It took me awhile because I had to play with the lengths of each of the 4 different chains and then wirewrap (and re-wirewrap) pretty pale pink quartz, lovely fresh water pearls in white, rose pink, and chartreuse, and vintage blue and pink beads to the chains. But, it was a labor of love. I'm proud of this baby. I've already posted it on my Etsy shop. Just couldn't wait. Please check it out at stacysdesigns88.etsy.com

By the way, the necklace that I posted on February 28, 2008 (below) just sold this week! Yayyy!

Day Number One--the Birth of My Blog

Dawn of a new day. This is my first entry...and hopefully there will be more interesting ones to come. Once I get my groove going...

The Hope:
I've been hearing about blogging allover the place and checked out some pretty neat blog sites. I wondered if I could do it. I hoped it would be easy and I wouldn't be boring. I hoped that it would open up something inside of me and that something "good" would pour out. I wanted to share my thoughts, my creations, and my dreams with others. It's so amazing when someone convos you and they're half way around the world. It's like virtual pen pal buddies.

The Immaculate Conception:
After reading many forum threads about blogging, I decided to do something about it and get started. Once I get an idea in my head, I just go for it. It adds excitement to my life...and hopefully my husband's too. For creative inspiration and motivation, I went out and bought the expensive $14.99 "Artful Bloggin"magazine by Somerset Studio from Border's---couldn't use the 40% coupon b/c this is a "periodical"---hoo boy! Anyway I digress, the mag was fab! Love the photos, the colors, the ideas---talk about inspiration!

The Birth:
Ok, I finally did it. I set up my very first blog site. After reading about it in forums, I decided to do it tonite---not tomorrow or the next day, etc. You get the picture. People were saying that it would only take 1 hour or less. They were right!

Post Partem Jubilation?:
Well, I'm going to post new things every couple of days or so to my site. I'll be showing my jewelry that I sell on Etsy and other creations.
