Sparkly things all around

I'm in the middle of  a massive jewelry creating whirlwind. I figure I should take advantage of this boost of creativity, although it does leave me a bit cranky in the mornings. Why cranky? I am  naturally a night owl, and like to work when the sun is fast asleep. My children, however, like to wake up early and demand breakfast as soon as the sun starts peeping its way into the sky. I figure I'll get to pay them back when they are teenagers. Of course, that would require my waking up early to annoy them. I think I might want to rethink my plan.

I love Etsy....see how it all started

PictureJill lives in Hawaii and creates seriously cute clay jewelry. I actually own not one, not two, more like a generous baker's 2 dozen cupcakes that Jill has turned into earrings and pendants. She's the reason I found out about Etsy. I was looking for cute cupcake jewelry, and had been disappointed by what I was finding. Then a google search led me to her shop, and I fell in love. I started out slowly, but once I held one of her cupcake earrings I knew I was a goner. It's really quite embarrassing, but I'm secretly quite pleased at the massive stockpile of cupcake jewelry. You never know when you might need a cupcake to dress up your outfit, right? I requested a specific style of cupcake earring, and Jill made them even more fabulous than I had imagined them. (check them out above). She's a sweetie, too. She's sent along little extras with my orders. I guess she figured one more cupcake wasn't going to hurt me. If you need a dose of cute head on over to her shop
