Hey guys.  I don’t have any new scrap stuff this week, but I thought I’d write a post up anyway.  I haven’t done anything fun on here for a while, so maybe I should do a random giveaway? 

A couple of weeks ago I was browsing through Etsy looking for rings in my size (I have fat sausage fingers and finding cute girly rings for them is… difficult) and I came across JJ’s Jewelry112605.  She does these really cute wire wrapped rings and earrings!  I’m really into cute, casual jewelry as I’m a pretty low-maintenance kind of girl and just like a little bit of bling.    So anyway, I bought a couple of rings and this is my favorite!

It’s pink jade and sterling silver wire and it looks so sweet on my hand.  I just love it.  The picture just doesn’t do it justice!  And the pink looks pretty bright there in the sun, but it’s not really that bright in normal light, it’s actually pretty subtle.

So I’ll give away one of these pink little darlings here on my blog.  Just post a comment below and tell me your favorite thing about summer.  I’ll randomly choose someone on August 6th.

Hope you’re having a great week!

Even though I’m a designer and feel moderately comfortable with my designing I have to admit that when it comes to putting the actual pieces together to form a layout I am not the most talented.  Or even the second or third most talented.  Okay, I probably come in dead last, and that goes for siggies, too.  (Siggies = those really cute little name graphics that the cool people put in their signatures in forums.)  That’s why I love templates!  So when I opened my newsletter from The DigiChick I was really excited to see siggy templates by Laura Banasiak!  I didn’t even wait two seconds to buy them!  LOL  Check them out:

See what I made?

I actually almost feel like one of the cool people now! 

Definitely check out Laura’s templates, especially if you’re inept at that kind of stuff (like me).   heh
