There are a lot of words in my head. Words that want to come out. But they don’t know where they fit. I’m a jewelry artist. This is the blog on my jewelry page. I’m supposed to talk about jewelry. Right?
I’m supposed to talk about jewelry. Right?
But I don’t. I talk about jewelry everywhere else. On Instagram. On Facebook. On Twitter. To my friends. To my family. To myself (don’t judge).
So here in this blog. Do I give you jewelry or give you muffins? Do I talk about birthstones or depression? Do I share my heart or my passion?
Or can I do both? I wanted to attach a poll. But I don’t know how. Will you do me a favor and either leave a comment or send me an email.
Just choose one:
- Only write about jewelry. All jewelry. All the time.
- I want to hear your heart and your passion. I want your struggles and your recipes.
- How about a mix of both?
If you are here, reading this…you’ve stuck with me…since I’ve barely written in a year. But those words? The ones in my head and in my heart? They ache just like a new jewelry design. And I want to know what you think. I really do.
For today I’m giving you muffins.
- One. Because they are In.Sane. So good. (and completely sugar free)
- Two. Because I love cooking and baking and overall kitchen creating.
- Three. Because I want to share something with you and muffins seemed like a good place to start.
Now shoo. Go forth and bake AFTER you answer my question 🙂 *insert cheesy pleading smile*

these muffins look amazing! I love hearing about all aspects of life… I think that people can relate to many different things and that is why your writing appeals to so many. I love hearing about your struggle and conquering and struggle and conquering of depression because I can relate. Depending on the day, I am up and down…
I love seeing posts with new jewelry because I don’t have a creative bone in my body. My brain doesn’t think creative so to see your beautiful work makes me feel happy.
I love seeing cooking and various recipes because I’m a wife/mom just like you and seeing recipes makes me forget how exhausted I am after working all day and makes me want to cook/bake something.
So for me ~ whatever you have to say is going to relate to different people who are in different stages of their lives!
Love you my friend!

I have really missed hearing from you. Yet I don’t know you enough to intrude. I thought maybe you blocked me.
I LOVE your jewelry. And though it is unique, I am more interested in you.
I am very confortable with a mix, with emphasis on YOUR HEART and YOUR LIFE. If you ver would like to talk, I am a good listener. 508 229 1754
