. As well as hosting blog hops, you also create fabulous jewelry! How do you make time for it all? Time is always at a premium! I am pretty good at organizing, so I try to make sure that I plan ahead as much as possible. I need quiet time to recharge my batteries, and making jewelry helps me do that. It also provides me with a creative outlet. What hops do you have planned for the future, anything you can tell us about upcoming events? I have so many events scheduled! Upcoming blog hops include the November 15th, 2014 Clay and Metal Blog Hop (featuring the work of Sheryl McMillian-Nelson) and the April 4th, 2015 Jasper Intrigue Blog Hop (kits are still available – sign up in the Pine Ridge Treasures – Beads and More Facebook Group). My challenges are sold out. Please visit my Facebook Bead Group to see all the beautiful jewelry created by the challenge participants. The photos are posted in the corresponding challenge photo albums found under the “photos” tab. There is also an “events” tab that has a description of each upcoming event, including date and kit availability. What do you like to do when you're not creating jewelry and hosting hops? I like to take walks, crochet (mostly scarves – I am a beginner), read (Jane Austen is a favorite) and watch movies. I enjoy watching sports as well – especially football and hockey. Finally, where can we find out more about you and your work?
