This year I've been trying to step of my "Shell" (pun intended there!!) and try different things, design-wise, with my jewelry.
Working with different colors, for instance,
is a big one for me this year.
So, putting my 'name in the hat' on people's blogs I follow who are having challenges, or give-a-ways, or asking for design team members and/or signing up for blog-hops (when I see them in time!) and things like this are just a couple of the things I'm doing this year to try to stretch myself artistically.
These actions I've taken have been rather successful so far this year. I've been the recipient of some fabulous give-a-ways (and I truly thought I never won anything!) and I've had some great opportunities come my way.
One such opportunity happened just a couple of days ago.
I'm excited to announce that I was chosen to be on the Suburban Girl Studio's design team!
