Etsy Stalker Shadowbox

Hi!!

I apologize for not writing more often lately.  I have been on vacation in Colorado, visiting my husbands family!  We had a great time, loved the warm (or I should say HOT) weather but I am glad to come home to the Fall.  Falling leaves, small snow flurries and high winds as well!! We had our power out for two days and I have to say that was fun with a two year old running around!  =) 

I wanted to mention that I have a shadowbox on Etsy Stalker and I hope that you will go and check it out! I am giving a $40.00 gift certificate to my shop so I hope you enter!! GOOD LUCK!!

I haven't been able to get any jewelry made since I have been home and I am itching to get in there!  Lately I have been tired of pulling my jewelry out of my travel bag where ever I can find a space and time, which is usually my dining room table.  So, recently I rearranged our guest bedroom to fit a portable table in there, and I have set up my semi-temporary studio in there.  I am excited because I can now just sit down and make something on a whim without having to pull everything out of a bag.  =) 

I hope you are having a lovely week and I will have some new creations to share with you soon!!!

Xoxo, Challene

New shop & new blog! =)

Hi! =)

I have some fun and exciting news to share!! I have recently made the decision to create a new Etsy shop.  It is something that I have thought about for a while now.  If you did a research on-line for Blue Moose Creations, you would not only find my shop, but you will also find another shop with the same name.  When I created me etsy shop name, I didn't do a research for any one else on-like with this name. I don't want to take someone else's name, and I also want to be known for my own as well.  I want to distinquish my self and be unique.  I decided to just use my own name.  My new shop name is ChalleneVi Designs and it is located at challenevi.etsy.com.  Challene is my first name and Vi (short for Viola) is my middle name.  I really hope that I made the right decision.  I have had quite a few sales that I am so very proud of and I have a bunch of feedback too.  I feel like I am starting all over again, but as I have been doing this, I feel as though I did the right thing.  It just feels right. 

I hope that I am able to gain the same fans that I have had, as well as some new ones and that my journey on the road to finding my unique path is a fun one!  I want to be able to have my jewelry stand out and be something different and stunning and beautiful! Please wish me luck!!

Thank you!
Challene
