Thanksgiving - Then Christmas right around the corner

Oh my gosh - what a busy time of year this is!
I won't be going home for Thanksgiving this year, I think it's the first time since I moved to Reno.  There is just too much going on.
I will miss my family but we will all be together in May when my niece gets married.

I have been busy making Christmas items for my ArtFire store.  I love making jewelry.  I just hate having to take pictures that look halfway decent and then writing descriptions.  And then trying to price the items!  I bought a program from a wonderful person that helps a lot with pricing.  And I still price my items a lot lower than is recommended by the program.  But I just keep truckin' on.

I bought some really great teardrop shaped earring findings that work so well with my little Swarovski Christmas trees I make!  They are so cute and a fellow ArtFire artisan added them to her Christmas collection (which is really nice and a great honor for me!)  here's a pic of them:

They're kind of nice, don't you think?  They are available at my ArtFire store, www.tstrinkets.artfire.com.   I will have these earrings in different tree colors and wire colors soon.  Just keep checking.

I also made my little Christmas Penguin again this year, but this year I put him on a keychain.  I thought he would be more versatile that way:

Here he is, all ready for action!

I just love my Christmas bracelet - I don't know if I even want to sell it.  What do you think?

These items are all available at  www.tstrinkets.artfire.com.  Come have a look at these and my other handmade creations.

Got to get going-- I'll be writing again soon.
