Beading Keeps Me Sane

Okay so this whole blogging thing is new to me. Everyone keeps telling me to start a Blog because it will help with traffic to your etsy site and sales. But the whole question is "Start a blog about what exactly?" No one wants to read about my hectic day at work or the show I watched last night, which by the way was nothing because TV was lame! So it's time to be creative and try to keep your interest...

Inspiration, where does it come from? I really am not sure where my inspiration for my jewelry designs come from. I was never an artist or musician. I did not have an artsy bone in my body, I could not draw or color inside the lines to save my life and took chorus in high school to get out of art class. Then one day out of the blue I decided to buy a bead kit because I was bored. That was the day that changed my life. I instantly fell in love with the beads and the calm I feel when making my designs. It destresses me and takes me away from my not so glamorous life for a few hours. I can start beading and before I know it 3 hours have passed without a care in the world. Making jewelry helps keep me sane and I can not remember what I ever did to destress before my beads!
