Where’s Hope?

by Cynthia J
June 1st, 2012
My cat Hope is a very friendly, social cat. Even when there are lots of people visiting she can be found out and about looking for her share of attention or just enjoying the company. Sometimes, however, she likes to hide. Well, she likes to think if she can’t see me, I can’t see her.
 
Hope
Where, oh where could she be?
Hiding from the feather toy.

Hmmm, where's Hope? I hope she didn't get out when I left the door open.

 
 Hiding under the beach towel on the porch.
 
Hope
There’s my girl!

 Hiding under the table during an open house.

That’s my girl! Love her to pieces.

Share the Love: Brandigirlblog

by Cynthia J
April 10th, 2012

I don’t remember when I first discovered Brandi’s blog but I think it was when I was doing an Internet search for pricing jewelry. Brandi had just put out a free ebook called An Artist’s Guide to Pricing that came up in the search. However I discovered Brandi’s blog, I’m glad that I did. Brandi shares a wealth of business information such as choosing blogging platforms, editing photos in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, graphic design advice, blogging tips, and more. She also creates the most beautiful color palettes and most are created with her own photographs. I participated in one of her color palette blog hops—found here.

She also likes to promote other artists and bloggers. And she’s chosen me for a Reader Spotlight! You can read it here. I’m so honored to have been chosen.

Recently, I was searching for a way to improve the functionality of my blog and contacted Brandi for advice. She responded with very detailed and thorough emails. She has a kind and generous nature and a willingness to share.

Brandi has also created a new photo editing eclass for Photoshop Elements called Editing With Elements that’s sure to be a hit.

She also has lots of freebies on her site such as templates to create color palettes, note cards, borders, and more. Be sure to visit her blog. It will be the best decision you make today.

About Me


What do you do when you need a hobby and love jewelry? You start making jewelry. And what do you do when you have more jewelry than you can wear yourself? You start selling it! I am more passionate about designing and making jewelry now than when I started creating over 10 years ago.

I make jewelry because I believe in the power of accessories--to complete your outfit, to brighten your face, and to make you feel good.

I am a published jewelry designer living on the east coast of Florida. I am also a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, a cat mom, an employee, and a business owner.
