Love,
Julie Hauschild
I love your work! Everything is beautiful and unique.
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower of your main blog so I am already aware of how truly talented you are.
ReplyDeleteI would be extremely grateful to have my name thrown in the mix for a chance to win one of your beautiful pieces. You still need to publish your work in some of the Stampington jewelry magazines, they would be fortunate to have your pieces in there. Not to mention it would bring you a whole new fan base. I am a big fan of your jewelry and I think it's time that everyone knew how great you are.
Love your style!! I am a new follower and would love a chance to win one of your creations!!
