One World - One Heart

Make New Friends From Around the World.....

This year I decided to participate in one of the largest blogging events on the net One World – One Heart. Is the brainchild of Lisa Swifka, of A Whimsical Bohemian.

The original idea behind this event is to bring bloggers from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. Sharing their stories and creations, discovering new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize along the way.

Please visit the OWOH blog and visit all the other creative artisians….

Below are my two free gifts that I will ship anywhere in the world!

Beads Outa Beads Necklace

Swarovski Crystals, Fresh Water Pearls, Delica's, Self Clasp, and Sterling Silver Earwires

Flowers & Leaves
An unconventional color combination of blacks and purples create a stunning Flowers and Leaves Bracelet.

To have a chance to win, you only need to leave a comment on this blog post before midnight EST on February 11^th! The two winners names will be announced on February 12th and I will contact each winner to let you know you've won.

New Years Resolution

A month of creating daily

In late October my friend Susie Land threw out the challenge and inspiration to do something creative every day for 30 days. Susie is my friend from Artist’s of the Round Table, and very creative, talented group of artisans. I decided at that time this would be a wonderful challenge for my creative endeavors, but the timing just wouldn’t fit into my schedule until the New Year.

During these cold dreary days of January I will challenge myself and create one jewelry piece each day of the month. Come along with me and enjoy my adventure…

I would love to have company. Want to join in on the fun! Just challenge yourself to do a little bit every day for 30 days, pick a theme, any theme, whatever you want, doesn’t even have to be jewelry.

I will be posting my progress on my blog, check back often to see how the challenge is evolving, and see if I can keep my New Years Resolution!
