Bejeweled!
Several exciting pieces of news:
1. I won a prize for the first time in my life! I entered a contest, and I actually won! I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning!
2. The prize I won was.....(drumroll, please!!!!)
...A lovely, fall-inspired, handcrafted necklace created by the talented Heather Kent! Her jewelry is so creative and unlike anything you can find in stores, (and she's just so darn wonderful, too), so go check out her site:
http://heatherkent.blogspot.com.
You can commission her to do personalized pieces, and she finishes them quickly and they are darling! Perfect for Christmas presents :) I have a feeling they will be rising in popularity, so go get yours ASAP!

Shameless Plug for Quality Music!
This is my shameless plug for my dear friend, Sara Lindsay!
Go buy and listen to her CD, "The Songs" (You can buy it on CDbaby.com, and it will be on Itunes soon).
She is a brilliant lyricist and her musical talents are way developed beyond the average 20 year old musician. She is great- so please support her!
*My CD player is on the repeat setting on "Morning Sickness".

I Left My Heart in San Francisco
I had my last hurrah for this summer and took a quick vacay up to visit my old roommate/ dear friend in the bay area. I fell in love with everything about it- the crisp air, the view of majestic Mt. Diablo, the little bakeries and coffee shops, and the sea otters at Pier 39! The cities are teeming with hospitality career opportunities, and I am praying that God will use my new love and guide my inklings as the future unfolds!
