Help me, help you!

A very special Thank You to dear friend Cyranny for this lovely idea and great Blog post! I am honored to have my Art and Etsy Shop included in her Christmas gifts list for a great , less stressful and comfortable Christmas Shopping from home! Lots of nice things in the Shops listed it worth to check them out! Helping one another to succed is the greatest support you can give! Thank you Cyranny!!! ❤

Cyranny's Cove

I don’t like thinking about Christmas too far in advance.

But, a couple of years back, I got caught having to make most of my Christmas shopping very last minute, and I swore to myself “never again!”.

This year, I thought I would do something special. Since I’ve come to know many very talented artists through blogging, I decided I’d try to buy as many gifts as I can from their online shops!

That way, as I explained it to Chéri, we’d have lovely, handmade, unique gifts, coming from all around the world. On the plus side, we wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of fighting other Christmas shoppers at the mall, and we’d encourage wonderfull people to keep creating beautifull art!

So here are some of these incredible bloggers, and the link to their online boutique!

Hello everyone,
a HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Today a great Milestone came to my way…
followed-blog-50-2x#50 Followers! I am very happy and a tanks goes to all of you that in a way to another came across here stopping by  YesterdayAfter Blog and decided to Follow! I really appreciate all your kindness and beautiful words of compliments and encouragement left on my comments!
I started to work graphically on this blog at first as website only in August 2013.
I wanted to create mostly a portfolio website for my artistic creations and display my Art. I enjoyed creating all the graphics collages and images you see on here like the header image on the front page. Life events came on my way and I had to take a break for a while.
I never posted as blog anything until this year on the 03/24/2015 with my “New Update” very short post, from that day as today over only 2 months later I enjoyed this Blog very much!
I came across amazing people creative artists, musicians, writers, other jewelry makers and amazing photographers it is very inspiring be able to share  thoughts on a daily basis with amazing people I am so grateful for all the amazing journey here in this great community. Many of you become friends which I love to interact with.
I know 50 followers are not 500 or 5.000 or 50.000 but it has the same meaning to me!

It is the start of something great coming that can only evolve more and more….

Enjoy with me as you will come along the way of my journey….
