Simply Crafting

Ever since I started creating jewelry almost a year ago, I have never been able to figure out how to make earrings. I have tried and tried to make them, but have not had any success. I have even watched tutorials on the Internet and this hasn’t helped me either. Well today I stopped into the new bead store that just opened up and was talking to the owner. After I had made a few purchases she then offered to help me out with anything I may need in the future. So I took a chance and asked her to explain to me the easiest way to make earrings. Not only did she explain the process to me, but she showed me how to make an earring right on the spot. After watching her make the earring, I am feeling more confident about being able to make earrings for my jewelry sets. So later on today (or tomorrow) I’m going to try to make a pair of earrings the way she showed me.

Wish me luck! Hopefully I’ll be able to post that I’ve mastered the art of making earrings and be able to post pictures of my finished products.

Just wanted to give you all an update that the sales from this site are still ongoing. Just purchase at least two items, and I’ll pay the shipping. With Christmas only a couple of months away, these pieces of jewelry would make totally awesome Christmas presents. See something you like?? Just leave me a comment here and I’m sure we can make a deal. Happy shopping.

Or, if you would prefer something custom made, just shoot me an e-mail at kdarrell21@hotmail.com and I’ll be more than happy to set you up!

Just thought I would give you all a reminder that I do in fact still have lots of jewelry for sale. With the upcoming looming Christmas season arriving quickly, this would be a perfect time for you all to purchase that someone special a piece of jewelry from this site. Right now I do have a special promotion. Buy one or two items from this site and I will pay the shipping. So what are you waiting for? Com on in and tell me what you would all like.

All necklaces are $12.00 each and all bracelets are $7.50 each. Or if you would like something custom made, I am able to do that as well. Just leave me a comment on this post or you can e-mail me at kdarrell21@hotmail.com. I’m sure we can work something out. I look forward to hearing from you all very soon.

Well it’s now October so it’s time once again to thank all you top droppers from Entrecard. I really do appreciate each and every visit from you guys and this is just my little way of saying thank you. So enjoy the linky love and I hope to see you all again at the first of next month.

Note: There are only eight blogs listed in this list as two have been deleted from Entrecard.

As you can see I haven’t been in here in a while. Life has kind of gotten a little hectic and busy all of a sudden. The biggest news I have to report is that I went back to work. Selling my crafts and doing a little bit of paid blogging hasn’t really worked out very well so when I was offered my old job back I jumped at it. I’ve been back for a couple of weeks now so with that, the kids and looking after the house I haven’t been able to get very much else accomplished.

After I get my groove back I’m going to try to get back into the swing of things so hopefully soon you will see me back in here more often with more pictures and progress done on some crafts.

Well now that the kids are finally back to school I have been able to start crafting once again. It’s a good thing to…I have some orders that I have to complete by Christmas so I really needed to get moving.

Right now the two main things that I have been working on is a family tree getting done for my friend. The family tree is made by cross stitching and it will take me a little while to get it done. Then I have a few orders for jewelry that have to be done for Christmas as well. So I will be busy for the next few months but at least when all this is done, I will have earned some extra cash.

Well I’m starting to get back into the groove with Entrecard and this blog once again. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank all you folks from Entrecard who continuously drop by my site each day. I really do appreciate your visits so “Thank you”.

For all you Entrecard people out there, you probably have noticed that the Entrecard is back! At the first of the month I got pretty discouraged with this site. In all honesty I thought by taking the Entrecard widget off this blog that it would help my site. I HONESTLY don’t have any clue why I came to this conclusion. So after monitoring this blog for the last three weeks, I have decided that utilizing Entrecard is way better than not using it.

So if your here from Entrecard then I say welcome back and I truly did miss you all. And I promise I’ll never ever do anything so silly ever again!!

Yeah I know it’s been a while. But I’ve been so busy. Been busy creating jewelry for an upcoming craft sale this week so I haven’t been posting quite so much. But I had to deliver all my stock tonight so I’m free for a little while. Other than creating jewelry I haven’t been doing very much crafting. Last weekend I had the husband home on holidays plus the two kids so they keep me really busy. Now it looks like I’m headed back into the work force (less time crafting) so I really don’t think life is going to slow down any time soon.

But I promise I will try to get in here more often, and hopefully soon I’ll have all the things done on this blog that I’ve already told you about.

So…until next time…

So I bet when some of you loyal Entrecard droppers dropped into this site today you seen something very different going on in here. Yes, that’s right. I started to do the blog overhaul that I had told you about in a previous post. I took off the Entrecard widget. The reason for this is because I’m going in a totally different direction with this blog. I have decided to try to concentrate more on selling my jewelry. I have discovered that although I receive a lot of traffic from Entrecard, this traffic is not buying my products. So I’m going to start focusing more on participating in forums that are more geared towards the selling of my products. The main reason why I took off the Entrecard widget is because I won’t be dropping from this blog anymore and didn’t feel that it would be fair to all you droppers out there.

So as you can see I have started the overhaul. And although this blog won’t be participating in Entrecard any longer, I do really hope that you will continue to stop by and see what I’ve been up to. Look forward to more changes coming very soon. There going to be big ones!
