Just getting started...

I’ve heard a lot about people blogging but have never actually tried it myself, so here I am, starting a blog for a small business that I am trying to get started. I guess I should begin by telling you all a little about myself.

I am a 29 year old with a wonderful husband and two very awesome kids, one girl age 11 and one boy age 2 and a half. I grew up in Oregon and lived there most of my life until I graduated high school and decided to move to sunny California. I currently work in the world of architecture and I love every aspect of it. Before that I worked at a small California winery where I learned to have a LOVE for wine.

My husband was a foreman at his previous job for 11 years until the economy hit a downslide and they closed their doors. He has been a stay at home dad for the last 6 months, taking care of our son and being a coach to my daughters’ softball team, both rec ball and traveling.

Of course times being what they are and him not working, a little extra cash could always do some good, plus I’d like to be able to get out of the rat race and stay at home with my kids while still being able to bring money in. My husband is starting up a web business and I have started making jewelry, earrings to start, but hopefully will be able to graduate to adding bracelets and necklaces as well.

Please visit my fan page on Facebook and suggest me to your friends and family. All of my designs are for sale and can be found on Etsy.

Thanks in advance for stopping to take a look around.
