I love that we have folks who come year after year and really enjoy our singing. <div><br /><div>I had invited folks over last week and sold a fair amount of jewelry which was very affirming to me. Last night I delivered a custom pair of jet and sterling earrings to one of the members and another one bought a bracelet and matching earrings for his wife for their upcoming anniversary. </div><div>I must say that even though only a small amount of people have seen what I've made, their purchases have helped me figure out what directions to head in. More earrings and bracelets for sure! </div><div><br /></div><div>Lots more sterling and stay with the semi-precious stones. Turquoise and sterling is still a hit, as were the sterling dangling earrings with a simple colorful stone or a handmade sterling larger bead. </div><div><br /></div><div>So I'll keep on creating and soo, I hope, will get to share lots more with all of you. Thanks for coming to visit! Yeah!</div></div>SamsArt5 - Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01891769274484570890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185737082002832202.post-65230356733336195412010-12-17T06:57:00.000-08:002010-12-17T07:11:02.082-08:00Hi, Jewelry news<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXIx5fy1addFetFV7h9BAo_OGt2Er3tVInLDT6dQji3UsS06kpA_HkPqCxYrlqW61VJKMYSwyTTS831W6gRroICb27AqJfioIvgRW8Vx8_Dvm_NnFftQHu4GznsOF-aWsZUSfKQlrDB24f/s1600/Nov122010_3232t.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXIx5fy1addFetFV7h9BAo_OGt2Er3tVInLDT6dQji3UsS06kpA_HkPqCxYrlqW61VJKMYSwyTTS831W6gRroICb27AqJfioIvgRW8Vx8_Dvm_NnFftQHu4GznsOF-aWsZUSfKQlrDB24f/s320/Nov122010_3232t.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551668457656372770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNtHhyxuMoHqI1-pq5SIuuesX3PphGW82cOvZ1ZGlUeA3LAkSUG1anR-x0PwHA96q5IhPveJLxeLbT10CxKvHyvAXN6HPVV-zEf5lMUAR69LDyBtyJ0VJyvNqkMfjz4OhH5_fchnPpSu34/s1600/Nov032010_2983T.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNtHhyxuMoHqI1-pq5SIuuesX3PphGW82cOvZ1ZGlUeA3LAkSUG1anR-x0PwHA96q5IhPveJLxeLbT10CxKvHyvAXN6HPVV-zEf5lMUAR69LDyBtyJ0VJyvNqkMfjz4OhH5_fchnPpSu34/s320/Nov032010_2983T.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551667925175788578" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span">Had a pretty successful Jewelry sale last weekend and some folks placed custom orders.

It's a small but growing group of talented, lovely and wise folks who have interests in the arts, writing, etc. The Twibe can be used for posting links to your own work, projects your working on, or as suggested, a place to be paired up with someone to exchange paper with.<br />Paper meaning: any scraps, cropped art, collage bits, etc. We will pair you up with a buddy and you can send each other an envelope full of fun bits and pieces. Nothing complicated - just fun to <div><br /></div><div>do. Think of all the bits of scraps you have hanging around - embelishments that are "flatish" too. Come and visit the site and join us! Love to have you! Hugs, Sammy http://www.twibes.com/group/Paperxchange4art Picture: I had a fun time playing with collage/art journaling.</div>SamsArt5 - Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01891769274484570890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185737082002832202.post-65593667533869489922009-09-28T19:38:00.000-07:002009-09-28T19:40:41.397-07:00Hi Friends!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DT0MRbTTALe9jios_E8q7LKps1ETfP2Z4EtE7nDllmrP40eVD_HbSh5urL_yGwERhkGlM7c-1wJfd_JTsv9Yisn4TCAMNDgAMMcIw7K_EoieNO6ZbI06pLlrhJ3U1cq2vP-HfBf_gfjo/s1600-h/ISLAND.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DT0MRbTTALe9jios_E8q7LKps1ETfP2Z4EtE7nDllmrP40eVD_HbSh5urL_yGwERhkGlM7c-1wJfd_JTsv9Yisn4TCAMNDgAMMcIw7K_EoieNO6ZbI06pLlrhJ3U1cq2vP-HfBf_gfjo/s320/ISLAND.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386713529187576418" border="0" /></a>SamsArt5 - Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01891769274484570890noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185737082002832202.post-11522826021055738632009-09-11T08:36:00.000-07:002009-09-11T08:37:07.364-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVf8rRh_di1FB4slNLnIPOl64WP891p056fjcgGrbopKmTIznluJaDM-H2Tr0MkEiL3jto3sCLEoLM_AWEdrpVR62-jTYJYxqGAWDptPTLfwvmfFf11hgr2_dpPEUECouVx3kCkN7DQDrv/s1600-h/pc300100.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380234315458645874" style="WIDTH: 253px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVf8rRh_di1FB4slNLnIPOl64WP891p056fjcgGrbopKmTIznluJaDM-H2Tr0MkEiL3jto3sCLEoLM_AWEdrpVR62-jTYJYxqGAWDptPTLfwvmfFf11hgr2_dpPEUECouVx3kCkN7DQDrv/s320/pc300100.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>SamsArt5 - Samhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01891769274484570890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8185737082002832202.post-23468827740162635652009-09-11T08:27:00.000-07:002010-11-17T09:26:56.245-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiusbihXNHXTiJ0gcwPTa4gfEouCGNdMldH4CenSpFObf8Fg-O1mwu4k5wfRWWchVjjOyMfpqKMxJiPKVoZRzo6mjF1T-n1nBm87w8NY26SvNGvZuwPxnPRSQ_ToTHTfPVyVBrNyIe_IihI/s1600-h/pc300074.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380232706858324386" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 257px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiusbihXNHXTiJ0gcwPTa4gfEouCGNdMldH4CenSpFObf8Fg-O1mwu4k5wfRWWchVjjOyMfpqKMxJiPKVoZRzo6mjF1T-n1nBm87w8NY26SvNGvZuwPxnPRSQ_ToTHTfPVyVBrNyIe_IihI/s320/pc300074.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">It was a freezing cold day, December31, the streets were mobbed because they opened the viewing platform a day early.
