Father's Day!  Where did the first half of the year go?  I remember my Mom often told me that as we grow older the days, weeks, months, and years tend to fly by.  Now I was in school at the time and could only think of when is SUMMER going to get here!!!&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, I think.... man.... where did SUMMER GO!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We've been busy bee's around here.  summer trips for my boys, winding down my day job; and contemplating what will come next!  In the meantime, I've been having sooo much fun with metal clay and creating my handcrafted jewelry.  Hopefully with more time on my hands, I should be able to focus on promoting my jewelry!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I just set up a new computer, so I'm still loading some of my pictures of my latest items, so as soon as I get that done, I'll load some of them here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My next project will be cleaning &amp;amp; reorganizing my studio, which looks like a hurricane, tornado or something (maybe ME!!!) flew through it!!!   I've had family over from out-of-town and am thoroughly enjoying my time with them.   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We are preparing for a whirlwind trip through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and back within the next month and am sooo excited. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well.... my morning coffee is calling me..... so hopefully my next post will be sooner than 6 months!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hope everyone has a Blessed Day, Week, Month &amp;amp; Year!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;K&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5260722567074426592-1720304879983234502?l=kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/1720304879983234502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/06/half-or-2011-has-come-and-gone.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/1720304879983234502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/1720304879983234502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/06/half-or-2011-has-come-and-gone.html' title='Half or 2011 has come and gone!'/><author><name>KP Designs - Handcrafted Jewlery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01185778942856931150</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QEjBXi4fd2Y/S9sWQ5OmhcI/AAAAAAAAAL0/kMv3Qd4R12M/S220/200x200+avatar+(simone%27s+KP).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260722567074426592.post-8343016037868828632</id><published>2011-01-26T08:26:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2011-01-26T08:35:24.075-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Using Cake Decorating Techniques to make jewelry!</title><content type='html'>WOW,  I just read a wonderful article on one of my favorite sites  &lt;a href="http://www.tonyadavidson.com"&gt;Tonya Davidson&lt;/a&gt; (of &lt;a href="http://www.wholelottawhimsy.com/"&gt;www.wholelottawhimsy.com&lt;/a&gt;) has a blog where she introduces projects from Masters of Metal Clay.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have been so impressed with the work of Barbara Becker Simon and this article just solidifies my admiration.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tonyadavidson.com/musings_and_mullings/2011/01/master-muse-challenge-47-barbara-becker-simon.html"&gt;Master-Muse Challenge #47 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tonyadavidson.com/musings_and_mullings/2011/01/master-muse-challenge-47-barbara-becker-simon.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In this project, Barbara mentions applying a technique she learned from a cake decorating class she took years ago to decorate a metal clay bead using a syringe!

Not one to 'toot' my own horn!! (although I am smiling as I write this!)  I'm quite excited today!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;First, for being chosen as the Featured Artisan, I want to thank my dear friend Anne, (aka &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.madeformebyoaklie.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Made it by Oakley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;) who works diligently in getting us all recognized and assisting with promoting our shops through many venues, one being Share the Love-Bloggers Unite,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://onfireforhandmade.spruz.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; Onfireforhandmade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://thegiftshophandmade.com/default.aspx"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;the Gift Shop Handmade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; just to name a few!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Secondly,  I just received an other email this morning as a preclude to the 'official' letter that will be mailed this week, informing me that my application to the Louisiana Crafts Guild has been accepted!  To even be considered you have to submit pictures with your application and then if they like those, you have to submit a minimum of 5 actual samples of your work for them to look at, touch and examine!  You can learn more about the Guild on their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.louisianacrafts.org/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;, but I wanted to share what is on their 'about us' page &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The Louisiana Crafts Guild is an organization of juried Fine Crafts Artisans located throughout the state of Louisiana and the Southern Region of the United States.

The email continued to say that the committee members thought my work was very creative, innovative and fresh! WOW,  now the pressure is on!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Some of you may be wondering (especially those who have known me for years) how in the world I ever got into being a handcrafted jewelry artisan.  Well here's my brief story!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I’m the fourth of five children, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;our&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; Mother always said we each have a special gift or talent.  Hers was her ‘green thumb’! She loved to garden (flower &amp;amp; vegetable) in her back yard!  My talent is organization while  I thought my two sisters were the only creative or artistic ones! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; I’ve been attempting some sort of art or craft since I was a very young girl. I think I sewed my first apron for a 4-H project when I was in elementary school and got an honorable mention award! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; "&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; "&gt;I’ve experimented with all sorts of arts and crafts, from sewing, to crocheting and quilting, to cross stitching, to smocking, to stained glass. I’ve done papier-mâché ornaments and even attempted acrylic painting! But I never pursued these for very long because I didn’t feel any of the mediums truly connected to my artistic self or even expressed my personal creativity.  My artistic self was dormant and waiting to be expressed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; "&gt;So the search continued until 2007, when I attended an introductory class creating jewelry using silver metal clay taught by a local artist. This was an instant love affair!  I found my artistic voice.  I was hooked, and have never looked back.  That was over 3 years ago! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium; "&gt;I’m not formally trained as a jeweler. My creativity, long dormant, began to evolve, filling that small void in my completeness! The fundamental need to express myself using my God given gift or talent is blossomed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Most of my creations have metal clay as its focal point. Metal clay is a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay" target="_blank" title="Clay"&gt;&lt;span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;clay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;-like medium used to make &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewellery" target="_blank" title="Jewellery"&gt;&lt;span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;jewelry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead" target="_blank" title="Bead"&gt;&lt;span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;beads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; and small sculpture.

Metal clay can be shaped and textured just like any soft clay, by hand or using moulds. After drying, it can be fired in a variety of ways including a kiln, or with a handheld gas torch.

Gemstones, crystals, pewter and leather are just a few materials I enjoy working with. I'm a "dog mom" so including animals in some of my creations is a must -- I love them so much! A percentage of all animal related purchases is donated to help the animals. It's something I like to do to help our furry friends that need and depend on us.&lt;br /&gt;You\'ll see jewelry styles ranging from classic, animal themed, southwest, western and inspirational. My wish is to have my guests smile when they put my jewelry on. When you smile, you feel good!&lt;br /&gt;I hope you enjoy the jewelry I've created and may it bring you joy and happiness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center; "&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(165, 42, 42); "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can find Creations with Heart @&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shop Name:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(165, 42, 42); "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creations With Heart&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-size:130%;color:#A52A2A;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(165, 42, 42); "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;Website URL:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://onfireforhandmade.spruz.com/member/?g=DD69E2AF-229E-435E-83B6-FF5BA20F2085" style="color: rgb(85, 82, 166); "&gt;&lt;span style="color:#5552a6;"&gt;http://CreationsWithHeart.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Twitter Page:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://onfireforhandmade.spruz.com/member/?g=DD69E2AF-229E-435E-83B6-FF5BA20F2085" style="color: rgb(66, 50, 210); "&gt;&lt;span style="color:#5552a6;"&gt;http://twitter.com/CreationsWHeart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Blog:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://onfireforhandmade.spruz.com/member/?g=DD69E2AF-229E-435E-83B6-FF5BA20F2085" style="color: rgb(85, 82, 166); "&gt;&lt;span style="color:#5552a6;"&gt;http://CreationsWithHeart.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5260722567074426592-8398744751473341538?l=kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/8398744751473341538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/07/this-weeks-share-love-feature-is_20.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/8398744751473341538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/8398744751473341538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/07/this-weeks-share-love-feature-is_20.html' title='This Week&apos;s Share the Love - Feature is Creations with Heart!'/><author><name>KP Designs - Handcrafted Jewlery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01185778942856931150</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QEjBXi4fd2Y/S9sWQ5OmhcI/AAAAAAAAAL0/kMv3Qd4R12M/S220/200x200+avatar+(simone%27s+KP).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260722567074426592.post-3414812493491306516</id><published>2010-07-13T07:56:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-07-13T07:58:00.402-05:00</updated><title type='text'>This Week's Share the Love Feature is ArtiZen Beads!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(60, 60, 60); "&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px; "&gt;This Weeks Featured Artisan is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 51, 204); "&gt;ArtiZen Beads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center; "&gt;Truly Unique Creations!

I was contacted by our local Hospice Foundation, to submit some of my jewelry for their silent auction that is held at their Kick-off Fundraiser where they are selling raffle tickets for a new truck or a car.  I donated a full set of jewelry (necklace, bracelet and earrings) for the silent auction scheduled for this Sunday March 14, 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I went to their website, their logo was two hands in the shape of a heart, and since I had just completed the contemporary heart design from a few posts back, I decided to do a similar design out of silver metal clay, and incorporate freshwater pearls.  I used the same texture on the earrings, and finished the bracelet with sterling silver oval beads and toggle. And here is the result.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5260722567074426592-1749474147485172721?l=kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/1749474147485172721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/03/hearts-of-hospice.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/1749474147485172721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/1749474147485172721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/03/hearts-of-hospice.html' title='Hearts of Hospice'/><author><name>KP Designs - Handcrafted Jewlery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01185778942856931150</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QEjBXi4fd2Y/S9sWQ5OmhcI/AAAAAAAAAL0/kMv3Qd4R12M/S220/200x200+avatar+(simone%27s+KP).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QEjBXi4fd2Y/S5aYQTIOVRI/AAAAAAAAAGs/rr6aHtHWK-8/s72-c/Hearts+of+Hospice_necklace.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260722567074426592.post-3430642587145274180</id><published>2010-03-08T15:09:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-03-08T15:12:19.882-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Share the Love - Bloggers Unite Week 10's Featured Artisan</title><content type='html'>Kandi-o Designs.. creations by Kandace... truly unique and a style of their own!

It's a contemporary heart created from Precious Metal Clay (PMC). I was unable to finish in time for Valentines Day, so I decided to post it as '&lt;a href="http://www.madeitmyself.com/item-detail.aspx?itemid=47023"&gt;My Heart's Content'&lt;/a&gt;!. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love hearts of all shapes and sizes and the inspiration for this piece came from a magazine article that I read a couple of months back, and I kept a picture from that article in my 'inspiration binder', just knowing that some day I would create a heart pendant from metal clay that would not be in the usual 'cookie cutter' form. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took me a while to determine what I wanted to use in order to drape or wrap my clay around in order to create the contemporary feel for my pendant that I was trying to accomplish. I love the fact that there is texture only on one side.  It adds a certain depth or dimension to the piece.  Anyway  I'm pleased with the result and hope you enjoy viewing this piece and my other pieces in my online shop &lt;a href="http://www.madeitmyself.com/user/kpdesigns.aspx"&gt;KP Designs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'till next time!  remember  Jewelry is precious and personal -- "It's all about You"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5260722567074426592-5388821719274565238?l=kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/5388821719274565238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-hearts-content.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/5388821719274565238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260722567074426592/posts/default/5388821719274565238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kpdesignshandcraftedjewelry.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-hearts-content.html' title='My Heart&apos;s Content'/><author><name>KP Designs - Handcrafted Jewlery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01185778942856931150</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QEjBXi4fd2Y/S9sWQ5OmhcI/AAAAAAAAAL0/kMv3Qd4R12M/S220/200x200+avatar+(simone%27s+KP).jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QEjBXi4fd2Y/S42j9MH0e7I/AAAAAAAAAE8/j1t5Pjah6vc/s72-c/not+just+for+valentine%27s+day+copy3000.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260722567074426592.post-986190618995769159</id><published>2010-03-02T07:23:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-03-02T07:28:21.291-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Week 9 - Share the Love Featured Artisan</title><content type='html'>This week's Featured Artisan on Share the Love is Julia Hutchins Designs.
