New Book Review Blog Page

I have just created a new blog page for beading and jewelry-making book reviews. Having wasted money buying somewhat useless beading and wire crochet books, I thought I could share my reviews with you, so that you can buy what you really want or need for the task at hand. You will see that I have added an Amazon.com widget near each book. This will enable you to go directly to the Amazon web page where you can purchase the book being reviewed, if you so choose. I will earn a few pennies if you purchase the book through my blog widget, so if you appreciate my reviews, please access Amazon in that way. It will be much appreciated.

Blog Beginnings

Today is the day! I am finally starting my blog about handmade jewelry, beads, glass, and polymer clay... well - and everything related to those topics. There is a little slide show of some jewelry I made at the bottom-left of my this page, but I can't seem to get it to show the picassa album I created today. I'll have to see how that goes. If anyone has experience with that kind of "gadget" and can give me advice, I would appreciate the help. As far as I can figure out, being tired -- I've been at this for hours -- I created the new picture album with the same settings as the other three I created previously.  That's all for now.
