Trying to make my blog button AGAIN

I've tried doing this many times- for hours....and keep getting frustrated...i think though know I know what I have to do...let's see if it works!


....................hmmmmmmmm................................
.............................ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

OKAY- SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!? I'm not bad with computer's but in doing my blogs, I've come to feel computer illiterate! rofl
 So on the left you can see where a person can take the code for my button to add it to their blog....but I couldn't get the photo to work.....
So mad! I am trying to improve the looks of both my blogs- but man sometimes this can get frustrating!  Well after 1.5hrs I'm giving up for now.....Going to take a few minutes to break and then have to do my new post that I am very excited for!

Working on Working!?

Besides being sick with my first Summer cold (btw they are always the worst as far as Im concerned)lol, 
I am working on working.....does that even make sense? lol  It's funny as summer has come wtih the sun and warm weather I thought it'd be easy to create my jewelry. But for some reason, it's not been like that. I want to just be outside in the sun! OOPS!

So with that being said I am working on a few different idea's right now.... I don't want to give away all the details to it- but I am excited for it! The base of the bracelet is a peyote stitch bracelet- then i have come up with putting different things on the bracelet!  I think the two I am making will be a good hit! I love making the peyote bracelets, but I find it's hard to price them- they do take time to make but I enjoy that time!

Lately I've been putting focus on my journey blog called Earrings A Day. If you've not seen my talk about it, I will tell you what it's all about! For one year I am making a pair of earrings every day for one year! Every month I take those earrings and have a goal! I try to sell half of that month's earrings - they are only $10.00 each (plus shipping). Then I take the other half of earrings and give them away either randomly or via games on FB! So if your a following of the blog you can win and if your playing games you can win!  Also if you purchase a pair of earrings your name goes on the list and you have a chance to win a jewelry set! Not too bad right!

At the end of the year I will do my last blog post and be able to share with everyone what I raised for a childrens charity! Here's another fun point- there's a poll on my blog for you to put your vote in for the charity to recieve the money!

If you are interested in checking it out- I'd love to see you there!

Summer is close- I can feel it! Can you?!

Well after a bit of a break from blogging I am back!  A mini vacation and now back to life.  The weather has been a little gross but today was a great day, sun was out and you could tell kids were enjoying it! The school year is coming close to it's end, so my daughter is excited about that! This will be an interesting summer- living at the place where we usually have our summer vacations at! But I am looking forward to it!

What are  your summer plans??

The last few day's I've worked on a few items and I will share some of them here, maybe some feedback on the items??

Colored Howlite to look like colored turquoise

Howlite nugget Necklace

Purple wood beads with acrylic beads & metal spacers

I LOVE THIS NECKLACE! Purple glass beads going from big to small! Finished off with silver plated necklace and magnetic heart clasp.

I am working on a couple peyote stitch bracelet's right now too, hopefully they'll be a big hit! I can't wait to see how they turn out!

I am going to do a post once a week from now on I think- update on what I've been up to and what's new!
