Another opportunity to see who is out there, and make new friends.

Last year, I happened upon a blog hop aimed at helping us spread the word about our blogs, and maybe even get new followers. Vicki at 2 Bags Full hosts the "Grow Your Blog" hop, and it is quite an endeavor.
So, here we are, and I hope that you are enjoying your hop!
I started my blog when I decided that I wanted to communicate with more people who had an interest in hand crafted jewelry. I participated in my first jewelry blog hops, and joined several Facebook groups. Then I joined a photography challenge that went on for TWO years! Currently, I am participating in Shelley Graham Turner's CREATE. SHARE. INSPIRE challenge.
Some of my interests include making Jewelry, Creating in Polymer Clay, Photography (especially birds and flowers) our Family, Pets, Cooking, and anything else that sparks my interest.
How would you like this mug to hold your pens, pencils or paintbrushes? You can win it by leaving a comment below. The winner will be chosen at random on February 17. The mug is covered in polymer clay.
You can read more about how it was made here.
Here are some other recent projects.

DeleteHi, Beti! Visiting you back from GYB! You mentioned you are interested in consumer health. I do love researching and writing about the latest findings in the health field. I read this week that coffee can stave of dementia, so I'm sipping a cup now. Ha ha! The clay art you make looks like such fun!
ReplyDeleteI work with Mental Health Consumers in a secure facility, running the Consumer library. It's a challenge!
DeleteHello dear Beti! On behal of Vicki, I want to warmly welcome you to another Grow Your Blog event - Vicki truly appreciates your participation :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is lovely as are your creations! I have always likes polymer clay, but have never tried my hand at it. It's amazing what one can make. I am a happy new follower of yours and I look forward to visiting again. Hugs! Stephanie - The Enchanting Rose
Thanks for stopping by! I was surprised to be in the over 100 category... until Bloglovin just notified me that I have 20 followers with them. Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative blog you have Beti. Thank you for stopping on mine. Another admirer from a blog party :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment!
DeleteHi Beti, I am glad I stopped by. I really like the polymer beads that match your scarf and the holiday pins.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the tiny thin stripes? They were inspired by the scarf, I came upon it and knew that was my next color experiment.
ReplyDeleteYou throw a great party. Thank you for inviting me!
ReplyDeleteSo that you know, I've become a Follower and when time permits, I'll be back to see what other beautiful things were made by your hands!
What this party is all about is to GROW your blog and I'm hoping to do the same. When you get to Section One, check out A Country Chic Retreat and SuZeQ Creations, my personal blog, in Section Fifteen I'd love for you to follow and subscribe to.
Happy crafting!

You have a wonderful blog, as well as the things you make. Your clay work is stunning. I especially liked the white footed mouse. Yes, I scrolled down. I was also impressed with your jewelry and enlarged your jewelry display. I was in love with it all. If only I wore jewelry!
ReplyDeleteI confess, I'm not a big fan of fruit cake, but THAT fruit cake, I would eat ANY day. Once again, I want you to know that I really enjoyed visiting your blog. It was a genuine treat.

I forgot to mention, I wish I'd known about that Create.Share.Inspire challenge blog before now. I think I would have joined had I known sooner. Unfortunately, my weekly challenges are all booked solid now.
ReplyDeleteBeti,
