Kreative Award

Since today is election day, I though I would do a light reading post. It is also doomy and gloomy here which always brings down my blogging mood.

Over the weekend, I was given another award! YaY! I believe this is because I have never received any before I started blogging. This award is the Kreativ Blogger and comes from Jaden at The life and times of Bendy Ruggles.

Now I'm supposed to list 6 things that make me happy:

1. Snuggling under the covers.
2. When K actually waves to me from the bus.
3. When a brilliant, intricate piece actually turns out right.
4. the ocean.
5. when a pic turns out the way I saw it in my lens.
6. a breeze on a clear summer night.

Here is the fun part albeit the hardest part. I am now to award 6 Kreativ bloggers.

Decor to Adore (even though she was just given this by someone faster than myself.)
Fl Home Blog
Picciolo
How-to Studio (even though I gave them an award last time)
CraftyMoose Crafts
Totus Mel

Whoo! So many blogs and so little spots. Take some time and visit these blogs, and don't forget to vote! Until tomorrow!

You Decide

So, I have been sitting here contemplating what to write. I was going to write about my new ring, but it's not quite finished yet. Then there's my little bird friends who visit me every week, Gordon Ramsay's school of marketing, a featured Etsy artist, and of course, I haven't done a Home Improvement Roundup this week.

But I just can't decide what to write. I can't do a survey because stilettoheights just did that yesterday. It really is very troublesome so I have an idea(instead of just not blogging at all).

You decide what I'm going to blog about. You can choose from the topics I've left above or give me a new topic, and you can leave your choice in the comments section. I'm really a fountain of useless knowledge so who knows what could happen. Oh, and if you'd like since I'm having trouble with inspiration you could always leave a suggestion for my next project. So have at it. I will blog about the winning topic tomorrow.

Blog Envy

I know you know what I'm talking about. When you go read someone else's blog, and you're just like "God, why don't I write like that?" or "why is my life so boring that I don't have anything to write about?"

Okay. Well, maybe that last one was mine, but you still get the picture. We all have those blogs we want to be like- the ones that can write, the ones that always have fascinating things to post about, the ones that get all the visitors. I basically start thinking about what I'm going to post from the time I write my last blog. I never have anything interesting to say, and if I do, it never comes out in such a way as to be interesting. So, generally, I sit here with the sun glaring in my eyes from the sunrise contemplating what to write every morning. As you can imagine, that never goes well.

Why do I do it then? You know, because I just plain like it. I like writing my blog even if it's boring and no one wants to read it except my online buddies who feel the need to read it because I comment on theirs. It's good exercise especially since I'm almost a recluse and don't get much outside contact. This at least keeps my mind fresh and from me becoming completely shut off to the rest of the world. Maybe someday I will have something interesting to write, and for once, it will actually come off as interesting. But for now, I only write about blog envy and my newest piece in my shop.

My eternal flower ring that you see in the picture. (Like how I pulled that one off, huh?) Just listed it last night. I really like it, although, I might try another one with an extra row of petals. It's a sterling silver band ring with a sterling silver flower accent. I added a really clear and beautiful carnelian cabochon for accent. I like the carnelian in there, and it's just enough color. It can be found in my shop.
