First Time Selling My Jewelry at an Event

I couldn't believe I was invited to sell my jewelry at an event... I was so excited! It was such an amazing opportunity that I got from my little sister's Taekwondo teacher. It was the 20th anniversary of the "Gallitos Olimpicos" Taekwondo Tournament and he invited me to sell my jewelry at the event. It was for 2 days, from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. I'm not going to lie, it was exhausting! But you know what? It was worth it! :) I sold over 85 jewelry pieces and I'm really happy!

Here are some photos of what I made for the event (I will post the rest on Facebook in the next couple of days).

Shopping Recap!

I have always wanted a bonsai and I finally got one! :) Here's my Nia Bonsai...

I knew it was a little different on how you need to take care of it but I though it would be easier. I don't know, maybe I'm worrying too much! I've follow all the directions they told me but the leafs are getting yellow... maybe I've exposure it to too much sun. We'll see! I moved it to another place :)

Goodbye Google Reader...

With all the talking about Google retiring Google Reader on July 1st, I want to remind you all the ways you can stay connected with me :) There are many ways to follow blogs but, like some other bloggers, I'll be using BlogLovin' as my primary way to follow/read blogs. Also, there's a way you can retrieve all the blogs you follow from Google Reader to BlogLovin' :) and it's so easy!

National Craft Month!

March is the National Craft Month so, for all the crafters out there, Happy Craft Month!!

Here are some of my creations...

Ok, here's the truth...

I'm sure some of you have notice that I haven't written any post since Valentine's Day (besides the blog hop and the giveaway post). Honestly, I've been struggling a lot on getting a post done. I haven't found anything to write about and besides that, I have a lot of stuff on my mind. I haven't talk too much about my personal life here on the blog, but today's the day. Here's the real reason why I've been struggling...

Nice to Meet You {Blog Hop} #15

I'm really excited to tell you that I've been invited to sell my jewelry at a taekwondo tournament!! The teacher told me there are a couple of countries invited :) The tournament will take place at my hometown and it will be for 2 days (March 9th and 10th). I will write a post to let you all know how it went :) Just so you have an idea, with the help of my mom, my sister and Gustavo's mom, we have 140 jewelry pieces made! I'll be making more necklaces today so, in total, I will have more than 140 bracelets, earrings and necklaces.

Ok, let's get hopping!
