Happy new year!

Lisa, the creator of this event, says 'I created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people'
I was a member of this event in 2009 and It was so fun!
So please go to this page and read the rules...thanks Lisa!

I'm working on a class...for the moment I'm working on a prototype, It will be a ring/necklace/bracelet/earrings...stay tuned friends!

Buttons necklace

I love buttons, I am a collector...I love different shapes and copper...and so..I created this necklace!

What do you think? It's so funny...my keyword today is release your inner artist!

Painting,making dolls,creating jewels...smiling!

I had been tagged awhile back by Sandra Mucciardi from Canada http://sandramucciardi.blogspot.com/ to list 5 things I do to keep my mind healthy and my life balanced.
first of all..smile, smile, smile, people don't smile...a smile is a precious gift! smiling...Sandra says 'we need to smile!'

( 'Smile', 1987,This is my old friend Mariella, She was so smiling...)

2) making jewels, creating jewels, drawing jewels, thinking of jewels...rings, necklaces, pendants...It's a little obsession ehehehhe (see my etsy store, left side of this blog)
3) Painting...my old passion, my future passion, This is my passion!
4) creating dolls...dolls are my other passion, my obsession
5) listening to music...sometime I create with Enya...or Bach, or Mozart or contemporary music, I love music!

It is now my turn to do the tagging...
Here are 5 artists I found surfing on the net, I love them!...
