    Well to start off the Sponge Coral Bracelet and Earrings pictured in my last blog entry sold! The person who bought the set is from the UK. I hope they enjoy the Bright Red Set!

    Well I kept up my commitment to get to the gym 3x each week all of July and my reward is an all in one binding machine! So now I can create little scrapbooks! I've taken a few classes at the shop Precious Memories here in Langley and I just love making little books.

    I also plan to enter my first scrapbook page contest this fall! It should be a lot of fun! I have created my page for the contest but I am working on a card to enter as well. Since the rules are only one entry per person it's hard to decide which card I want to submit. I keep making different styles and themes so I have alot to chose from. I will post a photo once the contest is over of my entries.

    I have opened my 4th internet jewelry shop on the english DaWanda.com site. My address there is DebrasDesigns.dawanda.com It's a great site to open a shop right now they are not charging any listing fees. They do however take 5% commission on sales. The listings are in Euros but its an easy convert using google.

    Drop by Craftjuice.com and search for DebrasDesigns and vote for my jewelry and if you are selling anything on the internet list it on Craftjuice.com and we can vote for each other!

    Have a great weekend!

    Hi everyone!

    I hope you all had a great weekend! I spent yesterday and today making jewelry and scrapbooking. I do enjoy the warmer weather! I have been adding to 3 of my internet jewelry shops and joinning several internet networking sites as well. It's hard to keep up with all the different sites Team Sugar, Indiepublic and Flickr and then of course there's my craftivity too. So here are some of the jewelry pieces and srapbook pages I have been working on.

    Love the bracelet I had a similar design in Simply Beautiful Beading Jewelry but it was missing the beaded link. I used lowly freshwater pearls and a machine made link chain. Thanks for sharing and posting your work.

    Thank you for the comment, although I made a lot of mistakes on it along the way it's done now and I'm pretty happy with it.
