I was really really pleased today, not only was i featured on Kara's blog, but Audreycountrycrafts has a mini etsy of mine on her blog. It's a nice feeling as it makes me think that what i create is semi ok!

So a big thank you to both of you!!!!

Also, my giveaway ends tonight!!!!!!!!!

'Life is a Verb'

Started reading this yesterday.  Very inspirational book....have to pop out soon, but am looking forward to settling down when i get back and reading some more.

Sunny Thursday

What a beautiful day today!  They said it would rain, how wrong they were again!  Tomorrow is the last day of my giveaway.....so don't forget to enter.  I am also being featured on www.karaannisjewelry.wordpress.com tomorrow.....have a little look :)  and thanks Kara for giving me the chance to feature on your blog :)

Still only at 1 sale on etsy....but the comments and support i have had for my work has been overwhelming and given me that little push to carry on.  Sometimes we all need a little boost :)
