But I'm sure it will have alot about my new Etsy store, where I sell my handcrafted jewelry, which is my obsession. I will probably mention my family and things that are going on in our life. So this blog description my change from time to time.

I am sooo proud of my daughter! She was one of about 26 kids in her age group, and one of the least experienced, but she went out and did her best! It took alot of guts to go out there with so many people watching and that's what I'm so proud of, I could not have done that! Yeah Teagan!!

Saturday, my daughter Teagan, will be in the annual Shredfest! What is a shredfest you ask?? It is a skate board competition at South Street Skate Park. They have competitions by age group and there will be a pro skate boarder, food and fun! She has only been taking lessons for about 8 weeks but she has gotten pretty good and really enjoys it. So I'll post some photos of my baby girl skate

Every where I look there is a Troll bead trunk show lately! I went to one last week and got my first two beads, both where glass lampwork beads and are very pretty. But two beads does not make a bracelet! So Saturday there is another trunk show in my town that I'll check out, they have buy one retired bead get one free!!!

My new "Gotta have it!" is a Troll bracelet! I first heard about Troll bracelets about 2 years ago and I didn't really give them much thought, mainly because I was busy making my own jewelry. But something has happened in the last couple weeks and I'm not really sure what, but I've become obsessed with getting one! I love the idea of being able to change a bracelet to a different theme or

I've recently found out about this new book series for kids that I think is going to be pretty hot! It's called The 39 Clues and will be a series of 10 books, the first is by Rick Riordan and is titled The Maze of Bones. You can visit the website www.the39clues.com and learn more about finding clues, playing online games and winning prizes. The book also includes includes trading cards with

I've had my CPAP machine for three nights now and I LOVE it! I haven't needed to take a nap so far and I'm having tons of dreams! My sleep study showed that I had 19 minutes of REM sleep, which you should normally have 90-120 minutes a night. Not only do you stop breathing with sleep apnea you are not getting REM sleep which affects your memory, mood, concentration among other things, you are

In my "tip of the day" section I mentioned that a very good friend of mine has breast cancer, well the Dr. called her today and a very small amount was found in her lymph nodes and she will need more surgery and chemo. Pleas keep her in your prayers.Thank you!!

Do you snore? Do you wake up with a headache? Do you need a nap in the middle of the day? Do you wake up chocking or coughing? Do you have problems with you memory? You might have Sleep Apnea.I'm only 41 and not overweight so I didn't think I'd have Sleep Apnea. But my snoring (so my husband said) was getting worse and if I didn't want to sleep on the couch I needed to do something. So I

Well it's been a week since the squirrels went back to school and so far so good. We took them to Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City this weekend and had a blast, the place was pretty much empty and we actually had the water park all to ourselves for two hours on Monday morning! ( yes, we took the girls out of school for Monday) That will probably be the last vacation till we go to Disney World

Some women have an obsession with shoes, my brother in law owns a shoe store so I've got that part covered, but my obsession is Handbags!I love handbags, they are the perfect accessory! Of course my husband doesn't understand, he uses the same wallet for about 5 years! I could use a different handbag every week!I found some awesome handbag designers on Etsy so I'll mention some of them in

Happy Labor Day all!I'm just trying to wake up a bit before I do my "Walk away the pounds" workout. I've definatly noticed a difference in my muscle tone lately which keeps me motivated! We're going to Great Wolf Lodge next weekend and I'm thinking I'll look OK in my bathing suit.So, I've started silver fusing and it's very exciting! It was impossible to find fine silver wire any where in my

I've been meaning to mention this show for a while now and kept putting it off. It's called Three sheets and I'm not sure what channel it's on but it's hilarious! This guy Zane gets paid to go around the world drinking the local alcohol and talking about it and the local hangover cures. This guy can drink!!! I can't believe he can even talk on these shows with the amount of alcohol he drinks!

I haven't had much time to blog about anything lately, it's the last week before school starts and I'm trying to spend time with my girls. We've finished school clothes shopping and washing, school supply shopping and meet & greet the teacher. My oldest, Teagan, is going into 5th grade and Celeste is going into 3rd. Next year Teagan will be in middle school which I'm dreading. Celeste is

I want to give my two cents on "Walk away the pounds" exercise videos by Leslie Sansone. I have been using them on and off for about 4 years. When I first started using them I had about 25 lbs. post baby weight to lose and I lost it in about 6 months. I looked and felt great! In the last couple years I got lazy and put back on about 15 lbs. so I'm doing it again. The 3 mile is 45 minutes and

I'm looking for easy, healthy recipes for my picky eaters, do you have one???? Please post it to me.I love casseroles and my daughters hate them, my husband always asks "what soup did you use in dinner tonight?" :) They are meat and noodle lovers. My mom in law feeds them steak, hamburgers, lamb chops and noodles about twice a week. (no veggies) So when I try to feed them healthy I get nothing

One of my favorite stones is Agate. There is no other stone more creatively striped by nature than agate. My favorite is crazy lace agate, it has such amazing colors and patterns and each one is different.Agate is believed to discern truth, accept circumstances and is a powerful emotional healer. Legend says that agate improves memory and concentration, increases stamina and encourages honesty.

I have 4 items that I'm going to be listing today. One is my very favorite bracelet that I wanted for myself but I received such a great response about it I thought I'd see if anyone else loved it as much as me. So, I will part with it if it will be going to a good home. There are two more bracelets, one is a half and half design where half is sterling silver and the other half is a stone, in

I'm looking for a new project. Necklace or bracelet? Should I use copper this time?The photos show a very small sampling of the materials that I'm thinking about using. I prefer to make bracelets because I personally prefer to wear bracelets but also because they use less materials so I can make more with what I have.I just bought a bunch of copper materials and I really think I'll make a

Have you heard of Art Clay? It is 99.9% pure silver in clay form. You shape the clay, file and fire it, then you have a finished pure silver piece. Sounds so cool, I can't wait to make a ring with it. This project will probably have to wait for a little bit though because there are supplies needed for this that I don't just have laying around, like a butane torch. I think it will be so exciting

Not me though, I've been spending so much time finding out about feed, widgets, blidgets, links, referrals, other blogs, mom blogs, rating blogs and so on and so on. This is exausting! All I wanted to do was make some jewelry and get what I put into it back so I could make some more. How naive. I

These are a couple of new designs I just listed on my site on Etsy. I love the multi colored one with the beautiful focal piece in the center. I hope someone else loves them as much as me. I make all my pieces as if they were going to be my own in case they all end up in my jewelry box. :)

Back from vacation and trying to get back into everything, kinda overwhelming.I realized on vacation that I'm spending to much time away from my kids with other distractions and before I know it I'll be wishing they had time for me. My oldest is one year away from MIDDLE school and that freaks me out! I asked her to flunk a few years :) that probably won't keep her from growing up though.....So

OK, I made my new piece of jewelry today but it turned out to be a bracelet instead of a pendant for a necklace. I love it!!! I'll try to get a pic of it up, if anyone even reads this..........I'm probably babbling to myself. :)Don't ever start making jewelry if you haven't already because it easily becomes an obsession!

So, I'm deciding on my next design. I'll probably make something for myself with some new materials that I picked up at this awesome bead store in Frankenmuth Michigan called Bead Haven, should be Bead Heaven! They had everything you could possibly want or need to make jewelry. I picked up this beautiful stone shaped like a very narrow diamond in a creamy orange color. It's about 2 1/2 inches

I found Etsy about four months ago and I think it's an awesome site! I think it's important to support people that handcraft items because so many things are mass produced now. To be able to purchase something that someone put their heart and soul into making seems much more special to me than something bought off the shelf. How many times have you needed to get a gift for someone and thought

Plus it's summer which means very few nice days in Michigan so I'd also like to spend a little time outside...........Trying to figure out blogging and getting my etsy site up and out there has been taking some time but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it!!!??? If anyone happens to read any of this please feel free to give me some

Well, I'm obviously not so good at blogging since it's taken me a few months to get back to this. I finally got high speed internet this week so maybe I'll get better at doing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi, my name is Celia and I've recently opened a store on Etsy.com to sell my handcrafted jewelry. Since I've done that I thought I'd also try to start blogging, which I really have no idea how to do.
