and the clutz of the week is.....

....me! My mom has always said that I trip on air, and after the last two days I think she was right. Yesterday I was out with my friends and we all decided to see who could do the splits the lowest to the ground. Well I knew I could do it...I just didn't realize how slippery the floor was. Needless to say, I decided to attack the floor with my whole body when my feet slipped out from underneath me. I know, you are thinking well that doesn't really make you a clutz. I didn't get to this morning. After taking a muscle relaxer, so I could sleep through the night, I tried to get out of bed and attacked the floor again. I am 4 foot 11 and my bed is 3 feet off the ground so I have to diagonally slide out of bed. What I thought was diagonal, and what my body thought was diagonal got their messages mixed. So, today I am not doing anything but homework and making some more jewelry to put on my Etsy shoppe.

New adventure!

I am delving deeper into making jewelry as a full time business instead of a hobby. All of the beads I was needing for my back orders finally came in. It felt like Christmas opening the box and seeing all of the beautiful colors. When I go into a store and look at their jewelry, I try to figure out how I can tear them apart and make them into something even more beutiful than they already were. It feels so wonderful to create something so beautiful that you can share with others. If you have never made jewelry before, but are tired of paying high prices for jewelry that breaks the day you purchase them, go down to your local craft shop and start experimenting. I promise you will enjoy it, even if its just a side hobby.
