Ahhh the joys of having teenagers!! Lately I have had more than my share of stress between running around like a chicken with my head cut off getting everyone where they need to be, and dealing with teenager drama. I completely understand why my grandma coined the statement, "rotten teenagers". That statement used to irritate me to no end and as a teenager I took great offense to it. WOW, do I ever understand now. With all the insanity that has been my life lately, I am immensely looking forward to this weekend. There will be very little running around and I will be partaking in some much needed jewelry therapy.
There is just something about making jewelry that is very therapeutic to me. I usually go to my studio, turn on some music, and completely engross myself in what I am creating while forgetting about the rest of the world. When I am frazzled my grandma can always tell and she usually says, "You need to go make something." She knows me well. It has definitely been my catharsis. Massive amounts of weight is always lifted from my shoulders while making jewelry and I walk away feeling refreshed and renewed. It is even more rewarding to see the joy that each piece of jewelry brings to other individuals. Never do I fail to be amazed by someone finding such awe and happiness in some little thing that I have created. I will be eternally grateful for the blessing of my gift of creativity.
By the time the weekend is over, I hope to have loads of new things to show you and to add to my Etsy shop. I hope that everyone has a relaxing, enjoyable weekend!
