Thank you 2010

2010 was very good to me! Although I didn't even come close to my sales goals in just about every other way I couldn't be more excited about all the happenings in 2010!!! Long and lots of pictures, I hope you enjoy!

In no particular order...

I got a new Nikon DSLR camera for Christmas and I'll be taking a photography class soon!!

I had fun setting up my new camera and waiting
 not too patiently to get a humming bird picture.
 I'm all bundled up in my jammies lol!!

Got the little nipper having some breakfast!!

Got married in June in Las Vegas, just had our 6 month anniversary lol!

I've been working hard on my beaded jewelry and opened a new Artfire Studio, having lots of fun with Ceramic beads and pendants, beads and stones, making more of my own components.

Started entering blog challenges...

Love My Art Jewelry Call to Create

Gave away this Copper Filligree Necklace in my first Blog Giveaway



Had Foot Surgery which means I had to set up
 a temporary Couch Studio so I could continue to play.



We moved and completely re-vamped my studio

I found an amazing Printer Drawer cabinet
and now I'm happily filling it with beads!

I worked hard to post regularly on my blog and found lots of other amazing and inspiring blogs to become addicted to. I check my list every day, at least once a day! Here are just a few of my favorites!!
