I must say I have been feeling a bit BLAH lately. I just recently purchased 3 to 4 sets of pretty alpha stamp that came in the mail the other day. I was so excited to try to play with my stamps, but everything I tried to create seemed really off! Normally when I create something it always comes together on the first try. But for some reason the last few days every mixed media creation I tried I was unhappy with and tore it up. So I decided to stop trying for a couple days and took on a new project that was not paper related.
Prior to starting the charm bracelet swap I did recently, I had a desire to put a few charm bracelets together to sell on Etsy. I have kind of felt hesitant to sell my handcrafted art on Etsy because I feel like a little fish in a great big ocean lol. BUT I was so inspired after the swap that I decided what the heck I'll give it a shot.
So here it is, my Rosey Marie Charm Bracelet. I am so very happy with how it turned out! I guess if no one buys it I will just keep it myself. lol You can find it at my Etsy Store (www.cdvcreations.etsy.com). I made four photo charms of some of my newest Rosey Marie images, and the bracelet is adored with lots of beautiful sparkles. :) Next I think I am going to do a mermaid charm bracelet.
Finishing the bracelet made me feel a lot better! I just love creating artsy jewelry like this, but limit the amount of what I create because I don't want a house full!
It is now obvious Bryanna knows I made her a cuff as part of her Mermaid's Trousseau package. I actually was bad and went ahead and showed her the photo, so I was thinking of sharing the photo of the cuff in this post, but I decided to wait until she receives her package before I post . That way I can post all the photos together. So I guess I will wait to post a photo of the cuff I made her. After creating it I wanted to keep it myself. lol Sorry Bryanna. BUT I gathered up the strength to mail it off with the rest of her goodies.
WELL. . . I do believe that this is my 99th post! WOW FINALLY I can't believe it. I WILL be doing a giveaway. As a matter of fact I will have 3 lucky winners. I am not sure what day exactly, but some time the beginning of next week. So keep an eye out! Here is a little sneak peek of 2 of the prizes (directly above and below). I will give all the detials on the prizes when I post the giveaway.
Thanks so much for visiting! Visit me again soon.

I am SO BUMMED! I just rushed over to your Etsy shop and not surprisingly, MY bracelet had already been sold! If you ever list another one, please oh please let me know. You should be proud of yourself Cassandra. To be so digitally talented and to use that talent to make a bracelet is huge.
