Website Traffic? Whose Linking You?

Ever wonder how some blogs seem to have consistent traffic day end and day out? 

How does the smaller blogger accomplish this task? 

I found one way is by submitting your originals to crafting sites that accept submissions on their blog and/or website. 


After reading all the positive comments from submitting projects, I've decided to give it a try. My plan, over the next few months? To submit my how-to's and tutorials all over the place. Getting featured is basically creating great products portrayed with sharp, clear precise photos featuring the process.

Need A Gift Box? Make One


Ever find yourself in need of a gift box for a present or to organize some jewelry pieces? Why not make one yourself. 

It's actually easier that you may think. This tutorial will walk you through making a simple box. Instructions for the top and bottom are identical.

No more hunting around for the right size box or the perfect coordinating colors. The choices are endless. For my bottoms, I use colored, textured cardstock. For the tops, I've used magazine pages, scrapbooking paper and gift wrap.

Rose Bowl May 2015

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mother's.


Today was another vendoring day at the Rose Bowl. It was a nice sunny, breezy day. In short, the weather was beautiful.

Again, I had my 10 x 10 vendor booth stocked with my handcrafted goodies and crafting supplies.

Since it's Mother's Day today, there were a lot of mother and daughter pairs strolling around. There were also a lot more families together.

I also noticed today people weren't buying as they did in previous months. I talked with other vendor's. They expressed the same observations. 

Twisting The Night Away

I found that I love making twisted wire jewelry. It's easy to do and the outcome always ends up fabulous and interesting. This post is going to be more of a. "look what I made," instead of a tutorial. Hope you enjoy.


By using just a few beads and wire, you can make a gorgeous pair of earrings.

Materials Used 
6 brown beads
18 gauge copper wire
To complete earrings
2 jump rings
2 ear wires

Easy Peasy! Any hole drilled beads will do. Wire? I use anywhere from 18 - 24 gauge. Anything larger is to hard to twist. Anything smaller and the shape won't lay right.
