Another giveaway on someone else's blog

So I sent my new necklace, freshwater pearls and Italian sterling silver, all the way to Australia to be listed on another etsian's blog for a giveaway! This is the link (you have to scroll pretty far down until you see "giveaway with rtisan" http://blog.idoityourself.com.au/

She is also including a coupon worth $50 for wedding invites from her store. She makes lovely cards! http://www.etsy.com/shop/idoityourself

She also spends a lot of time blogging and putting together wedding accessory montages that are very pretty.

I am Baaaaaaaack...at etsy and blogging again

Well, I've been gone for quite a while, nursing a broken heart from my breakup with that Bill guy, my ex-boyfriend of almost 9 years.

My etsy store (I now only have one after my hard drive got fried) was full of cobwebs and dust, and I have been doing a bit of cleaning up and adding new things--many lower priced casual jewelry pieces made faster and with less intricate detail, so I could offer a range of jewelry for different buyers. I am still busy adding more pieces.

Plus I started knitting! My first, a loose weave oatmeal colored wool scarf, is almost finished and I'll add it to my shop.

I am glad to see my old etsy friends are still around--fishbulb500, fashiongreentbags, and princessizzy. Fishbulb said I better post another blog or she would have no choice but to kill me dead because she is SO sick of coming to my blog and seeing the pics of me and my two old hippie parents partaking in the huge portions of an authentic Mexican meal (see post below!)

Here's Sam at the largest dog part in the entire USA, running free and happy. It runs right along the beach and, after a few ball tosses, he snuck into the pacific ocean which is rocky, ice cold, and full of currents! After that we put him back on the leash. He just cannot resist water. Goldren retrievers are bred to be waterdogs; hense, their super thick coat.

I am glad to be back! Hello everyone!
