I became a member to "Blogs by Latina"

Upon visiting my friends blog, Crafty Creations by CyndiB and I came upon this blog, Blogs by Latinas. 

This blog was created by Monique- "BBL was created in 2008 after a lot of researching on the internet for other Latina bloggers. When my search only turned up a few bloggers, I decided to create a place where we could find each other. Today, there are more than 1000 Latina bloggers in our directory. I am so very proud and honored to be a part of this amazing bloguera community." 

This blog contains a lot of helpful information.  I especially like the Blog Tips and Links page.  They have clip art, fonts and templates to help snazzy up your own blog. Stop by and take a look at this wonderful blog created for latinas all over the world.  Even if your not latina, stop by anyway and see what Blogs by Latinas has to offer.

New Year and New Ideas!!!

Yesterday I was busy updating my logo and adding new pieces to my Etsy shop.  I was a busy bee...

I was making a wonderful collection of Geodes earrings... what are geodes? 
Geodes (Greek γεώδης - ge-ōdēs, "earthlike") are geological rock formations which occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks.These dazzling Geodes earring are beautiful and its color is so unique. No two pieces are the same.  I was so excited to work with these beautiful stones and will continue to do so.

I also had some fun chatting with my crafter friends on face book.  I laughed so much last night that after being sick all week I really needed it.

Today I'm going to post new items that were used in the "Once Upon A Time" comment game on my FB page and Etsy page.  Its going to be a busy day, but a productive one.

Please visit my FB pages and become fans too.  Plus check out the other shops I have links for here too a become their fans as well!
