My Camera broke :(


Damn! My camera broke. I have not been able to take any pics of my latest PEACEs. My camera was pretty old. It was - oh wait a minute I still have it - is a Canon PowerShot G2 (see above. this is not the actual camera, just a stock photo). I went to the camera store Monday to see if I could get it fixed. The guy took one look at and said that it had been dropped. I thought "ok, it's been dropped. Can you fix it? He looked at me, looked at the camera, looked back at me and said "No". They don't make parts for the camera anymore and besides it would cost over $200 to fix, if the parts were found, which is more than the camera's worth. My camera is so old. How old is it? The camera guy said that Canon has put out a PowerShot G11 (see below)! Oh well. I got a lot of use out of it. It was a gift from a really cool couple who takes my spinning class.

The cost for the Canon PowerShot G11 $450 - $600. Ouch! I don't have that kind of money to spend.


So I asked the camera guy what can I buy that is comparable. He showed me a Canon S90 (see below) Cost $312 - $350. I thought that was still too much. So I said thank you and took my broke-ass camera with me back to work. When I returned to work, I immediately started searching online for cameras. I can't be without a camera for too long. Besides photographing my PEACEs, I am going on vacation soon and got to be able to take some fabulous pics. I search online for about 3 hours for cameras comparable to mine but was around $200 bucks. It's a Canon PowerShot SX120IS. I am so excited. I just checked tracking and it should be here by tomorrow. Anyway, it has all the basic features of a manual camera.

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities

Getting started...

Image
I've been making or stringing beads together for years. I am not exactly sure how I started making jewelry. Oh yeah! I got started because I've always collected beads. I liked going to bead shops and bought beads that appealed to me then would place in empty pickle jars and store them on my shelfs at home. After a while I had so many beads that I needed to do something with them, which was the obvious - make jewelry. I bought some how-to books and that is how I got started. A few years back, friend of mine, who worked at Fox, encouraged me to let her sell my stuff at their Xmas bazaar. I was pleasantly surprised - I sold quite a few items. My friend was so cool. Here is a photo of the display table that she put together. Since then, I have never actually tried to sell my jewelry. But now I want to start. I created a catalog and the name of my jewelry line is MY PEACE of JEWELRY - pretty catchy. I don't have a website. It's too expensive and there are so many websites n
