Yay!! I won the contest!

A big warm 'Thank You' to all my friends, fans and supporters who voted for me me help in win the 'Artisan Challenge' for May. This was the first time ever that I had entered my jewelry creations in a contest. And won!! This month's theme was 'Beach'. I created this piece using golden brown lip shell discs and natural white pearls. Actually, I think this is a very nice way to keep your creative spirits alive and get some exposure too. Can't wait to know the next month's challenge and start working on it....Results of the contest can be viewed here: http://artisanspotlightajd.blogspot.com/

New Looks!

I've made few more changes to the blog; changed the background and managed to center align the header image. It's so much fun playing around, provided you have the time to(which is a bit tough for me to find with two online stores, facebook fanpage, my website, home, hubby and two cute daughters). Well, back to the topic now! The other day I came across this rustic, sort of vintage background and I knew I had to get it on my blog(somehow). I just love it(till I find something even better). Hope you'll like it too!

Oh! I almost forgot....here's this lovely treasury, featuring varied items from the members of 'Lost in the Crowd' Team on etsy. Its called 'Beautiful Lost Treasures'. And my 'Purple Jade and Aventurine Hoop Earrings - Mystic Wheel' are included too! Do check it out. Here's the link:

Ops! I went off the topic again; As I said its fun to play around! I sometimes deliberately take the wrong turns(time-permitted), you may never know what you'll find/discover............
Have Fun!!

Yay! I Did It!!

I started this blog recently and wanted to make some changes (as per the appearance is concerned). I've been trying for days together to figure out ways to do so. I wanted to create a horizontal navigation bar with buttons; some of which directed to my other online shops/sites/pages, besides the pages about me, home etc and a different background(for a change). All this required changes to the html code. And I've been searching, searching and searching; it was getting very frustrating. And Voila! It came in a flash today. Yippee! I am so happy with the change and this has opened doors for endless possibilities. I can't wait to experiment some more. Hope you'll like the looks of my blog. Your views are valuable to me, so feel free to leave your comments. :)
