Please tell us a little about yourself.
I have been married for 3 years, and we have one little dog. I'm a Minnesota girl with long winters to get through, so I started scrapbooking and somehow it evolved into jewelry making. I keep up with both craft hobbies by organizing 3-day scrapbooking retreats.

Give us a little insight to what your blog and Etsy shop is about.
Both my blog and Etsy shop are a new adventure for me. After weeks of friends, coworkers, and family begging to buy my jewelry, I decided to open the Etsy shop. I started the blog to feature new designs and advertise sales. I plan to branch out into other types of jewelry, but for now the interchangeable watch bands keep me busy!
What made you start blogging/crafting?
I started making my watch bands after seeing them for sale in other places. I thought they were so cute and such a smart idea, so I decided to give it a try myself. I started blogging to spread the word about my jewelry!
Who does your blog appeal to?
My blog appeals to anyone who appreciates crafting, jewelry, and creativity. I try to post a variety of different designs to appeal to anyone. Many readers have learned that if there isn't something they love, I will do a custom order for them.
What do you love about blogging?
I love being able to reach so many people at once. It's been a great way to advertise my watch bands. I also love getting feedback about my watches. I have lots of happy customers that return for more!
What do you hope to accomplish with your blog/shop in the future?
In the (hopefully!) near future, I will offer gift certificates. Many times customers have wanted to give my bands as a gift but are unsure of color, style, and size. Gift certificates will be the perfect answer for those gifts.
