CYBER MONDAY SALES!

Good Morning! It's Cyber Monday and there are an awful lot of sales going on! Check out my two shops, Artfire and Etsy. I have sales in both of them.

I've been working hard, I finally got a new camera last weekend. But still learning how to use the dang thing! Cameras are so finicky! LOL!

Here's one of my new fused fine silver pair of earrings. I do have others, but I wanted to show you all these. They turned out really nice! So did the pictures, I might add. I'm thinking I like this new camera. :)

So if someone would like to take these home with them, they are available!

Hope you all (US residents) had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. We went up to Sedona, love that town, and had Thanksgiving with my husband's family. It was beautiful! As usual....when is Sedona NOT beautiful?

Also check out my friend's shop who is having a great Cyber Monday sale too. She has Fabulous Artisan Metal jewelry! @canadianrockies http://www.canadianrockiesart.artfire.com

Hope you all have a great day! Happy Holidays and happy shopping! ;)

Peace~

Cameras! Can't live with them, nor without them!

For those of "us" who have websites and sell online, we know the importance of having a good digital camera. For most of us, we depend on the Macros. Macros are when we need to take a close up of something. My first digital camera was a first generation Kodak. The Macros died in that camera. We who are jewelry designers know how important the Macros are. So I bought a second camera. A Sony Cyber Shot, and I have no clue what has happened to this one. It just died! I've only had it for three years. I was online with a Sony rep the other night and we tried to restore the camera back to it's default stage. It didn't work. He told me that I needed to take it into a Sony repair dealer. It's going to cost me $121.00 just to have them look at the camera! That doesn't count any of the repairs and labor. It's going to cost Way too much to fix it! So....I'm looking for a new camera! I'm OVERWHELMED!!! There are just so many out there. I just want the camera to take close up pictures. One would think that would be an easy choice, but NOOOO it isn't!

So, if any of you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know! I don't want to pay a lot, the dang things don't seem that last long. My last one I paid a small fortune for it, and it only lasted three years.

Maybe one of these old cameras will do? They seemed to have lasted a long time. My Dad had one of these when we were kids. I wonder where it is now?

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Peace~
