Shiny bits

This week has exploded for me in terms of sales with my jewelry company. I've been posting a lot more just to drag up some interest, but wow! It's so weird to me.

Here I am, just this socially awkward girl that decided one day to make a few pieces of jewelry instead of buying it, because well- I'm poor (especially when it comes to splurging). So, I got the stuff and I crafted.

Now it's been over a year and a half and things have absolutely exploded! I love making jewelry and I especially love when people get my jewelry and then they have to write me and tell me how thrilled they are.

I'm just this girl. I don't think I fit in with the pin-up community. I'm certainly not a popular girl, or a funny girl, or even someone who stands out in a crowd. I don't think I'm even talented. I'm not really artistic! It still kills me when people call me an artist. I just pour some glitter and hope for the best!

My jewelry literally has more of a life than I do! But, I'm just really happy to have something to look back on one day. How I brought smiles to faces. How I brought more shine into people's lives. How even though I never fit in in the community, I still made a small name for myself.

Life is funny that way.

It's unexpected and it's crazy.

And, I sure hope things keep looking up.

And, I sure hope this new rash on my face goes away! Ah, the joys of playing with the things you're allergic to.
