I'm still working a bunch and that has been keeping me away from blogging for a few weeks. But, I'll be back more often and with regular columns soon.

IFB Links a la Mode: June 11

Happiness is being a free bird…


Edited by Jennine of IFB & The Coveted


Oddly enough since we moved over to the editorial selection, I’ve never selected the links, and I really have to tell you choosing this week’s roundup was tough, so many great links, I had a hard time picking!

Well, here we are in the midst of summer, this year you can’t click twice without hitting a blog giveaway, as we’ve got great giveaways on Bobbins and Bombshells, Style Symmetry, Fashion Hippo and The Coveted, and if that’s not enough, IFB has a couple of great links to more contests. Whew. And while ‘free’ doesn’t always mean stuff you don’t have to pay for, it can also mean free as in stuff you can’t pay for, Decline Designs takes inspiration to two free spirited cinematic heroines with vivid imaginations, Brick My Lane will add rock and roll to your dancing feet, and free minded bloggers 39th and Broadway, Curvy Fashionista and Pursed Lips question the fashion industry.

On a Blog Hiatus

>> Wednesday, June 3, 2009


I haven't updated my blog in many days with good reason (I've been working overtime). So, I thought I should at least pop in for a quick post to explain why. With my new job, I'm writing all day and for long hours, so for at least the next few weeks...blogging will have to take second stage. But, I'll be back to blogging someday soon :)

About This Blog

This blog first started as a way to share the inspiration behind jewelry making with family and friends. Next thing you know, my blogging became a hobby--complete with a logo!

In my not-so-virtual-reality, I'm a freelance technical and marketing communications consultant who spends her time doing geeky things in the high-tech industry. But my real fun comes from making jewelry, which you can find in my Etsy shop at: http://capitolagirl.etsy.com
