I confess...I totally LOVE Pinterest!! It's an excellent tool for me to market my jewelry.  It helps me keep up with trends.  It allows me to see what my clients and friends are interested in.  Lastly...it inspires my creativity!!!

Some Creative Time

It is such a beautiful morning here in Tampa today. I'm sitting on my front porch enjoying a cup of tea while listening to the birds sing. Life is Good! We had a mini "cold front" come through after a little rain on Thursday and the temperature is just perfect outside. There is just the nicest breeze out to make it all that much better.

A few weeks ago I pulled out the ole Cricut Expressions to try my hand at a card that I have seen pinned on  Pinterest. There is a wonderful video tutorial here if you are interested in seeing exactly how the original was created. You can see that I made it my own using totally different paper and accents.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Pinterest Addiction...what is it?

I share with you today an excellent tutorial on what "Pinterest" is all about. I came across this informative blog this morning titled "The Blog Stylist". Bree pretty much explains in easy terms what the Pinterest site is about. A few friends have asked me to explain it. From now on I will direct them to this post.

I learned something new today from having read the post.  If you want to find out if any of your blog or website images have been pinned on Pinterest all you need to do is use this URL, replacing the cherrychickjewely.bloglist.com with your own domain name...

http://pinterest.com/source/cherrychickjewelry.blogspot.com/

You'll then be able to see where your images have been pinned to. Kinda cool...right?

Pink Saturday

I know I'm a little late to the "party" but it's still Saturday, right?? I found this wonderfully, fabulous Summer setting while crusing around Pinterest. I would sooooooo enjoy an eating room just like this with all the lovely light from the windows. I love all of the greenery in the room, too. Just yummy looking and so many wonderful shades of PINK.
Please join Beverly and the other bloggers over at "How Sweet the Sound" who are sharing their favorites in pink.

Happy Rednesday

I'm thinking this would be a really cute idea for a wall in my studio done with all Mary Engelbreit fabrics...huh??
There's a little RED in there so I'm joining up with Sue and friends over at It's a Very Cherry World this week. Stop by to see who else has RED to share.

I Want One!

Wouldn't a little place like this in your backyard make you want to curl up and read a book?  I know that it would sure make me smile.
