Daunting, This Task of Writing My First Post

Welcome to my blog!

I'm guessing that's the way everyone starts a new blog, but really and truly, I want to welcome you and express how much I appreciate you taking the time to read this first post. I'm a little nervous...really, why WOULD you read my blog? You have plenty of other things you probably should be doing right now! So I'm grateful you've joined me for the moment.





That's me, by the way...trying to take a picture of myself without it looking like I'm taking a picture of myself.





My boys were all excited to find out that I'm starting a blog, but I told them that it won't be a blog like my friend Amy's (here is where if I knew how to do it, I would insert a handy dandy little link to her blog...but you can find it on my sidebar - "Life & Times of the Shrock 5") or like another friend Anneliese's blog foreverythingaseason.blogspot.com. Hey, would you look at that? I figured out how to add a link!

Anyway this blog will mostly be an extension of my online business, which consists of handcrafted jewelry creations. My hope is to connect with other artisans in this way, to share some of my recent creations with you, and to spotlight my customers.

Thanks again for joining me for this initial post (so glad that it's done). I am always the worst at starting something, but usually once I've started, it's smooth sailing.

    Your picture is cute... did you get a haircut recently?
    Thank you for coming by my blog when I was quite new at it... arousing my curiosity as to who this person was and the rest is history... I have an online friend!
    By the way, I love the purple grape cluster earings!
