Between fighting allergies and planning my knee replacement surgery, I have allowed my mood and energy levels to go way down.
But I received a nice energy boost thanks to FourCornersUSA and GemsCrystalsandWire.
Both have included my designs in Collections.
FourCornersUSA curated "Labor of Love" which includes my "Juicy Watermelon Swarovski Crystal Heart Pendant Necklace".
GemsCrystalsandWire curated "Reminiscing on Summer Vacation" which includes my "Green Awareness Ribbon Stretch Bracelet".

The Chix – An Introduction
Opening an internet shop was a difficult thing for me to do. I came up with some pretty good excuses not to open a shop. One of the most powerful excuses was that my shop would fail because I was just one person and no one would ever find me.
I didn't know anyone with an internet shop and I was confident that it was impossible to become friends with other shop owners and artisans I met over the internet. I was WRONG!
This is the story of The Chix. The Chix is a very small group of shop owners who have become friends. We listen to each other and we support each other. I bet that only 4 of the 10 know where the name came from.
Back in January 2010 I met Artisan Originals and Fruits Of the Bloom on twitter. We started hanging out together with a small group of artisans. To make references easier we started referring to ourselves as the Chix. I don’t remember who used the term first, but I decided to open a twitter account using Chix in the handle.
We don’t use twitter as much as we use Facebook these days. Some of the original Chix don’t use Facebook but we found new Chix on Facebook. We decided to keep the group as small as possible so that we can remain close.
The Chix have a few things in common. We all have shops on ArtFire and Facebook pages. We realized that each one of us deals with serious health issues, either our own or a family members.
And the best part of all --- I think The Chix are some of the best people I know.
I will be featuring each one of the Chix on my blog in the next few months so that you can meet them and get to know them better.
I am working on a widget to add to my blog with links to The Chix shops on ArtFire.
