About that big announcement...

You guessed it! I'm having puppies--no, wait, kittens! Oh...no...you didn't guess it. (Though we are adopting an adorable scruffy old pup named Hootie once we move into the house.)

Did you know that I make jewelry? I love to make beaded jewelry and I work mostly with glass beads and freshwater pearls. For example, I made these pretty earrings:

That's not the announcement, because it if were, it would be a pretty lame announcment. But they're pretty, eh?

The announcement is that I've decided to sell my jewelry on Etsy!

I'm pretty excited about this, but it may not be exciting enough for you. Etsy stores are opened all the time. So, to make this day a little more thrilling for my readers, I'm hosting my FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY! Wanna win those pretty blue earrings?

Good luck! :)
