A little bit of Hawaii love

Just a little bit of music as we go into the weekend. This is my favorite singer from Hawaii. Israel IZ Kamakawiwo'ole has the most beautiful voice. Enjoy and happy weekend!

I thought I would introduce you...

...to a new passion of mine. I've always loved photography but lately my playing around with the camera just for fun has gotten me some recognition. I've had an online travel business that is also an app for the iphone is using 2 of my photographs for places in cities that they cover. The picture I took of Bailey with the pineapple in Hawaii is being used. One of the pictures I took in San Francisco of China Town is being used and I have one of the pictures from here in Phoenix is being considered.
I'm not stopping the jewelry but I'm going to start adding in the photography as well to what I do. When I started Cherry Creek Designs as a real business not just a hobby I always intended it to be much more then just jewelry, I just never thought it would be in photography! But the ideas are starting to flow for me on what to do with this to include it with my business. I will keep you informed on where this goes.

I will tell you that I'll be taking a course in photography with some amazing photographers in the business! It will kill me to go but it happens to be in Hawaii so I'll force myself to go and learn as much as I can. I'll let you know more as I get closer to the time to go. Until next time please enjoy the photographs. I would love feedback if you have any, just be nice!

Did you notice?

These clouds have nothing to do with the content of this post I just like the clouds & its my blog!

I've been making some changes around here and in my shop. I have been working with a fantastic graphic designer, Amy from Bean Sprout Studio. I had her design a logo for me. Look up, that's it and in my shop and some new business cards, and...oh wait thats it! But what do you think? I love it!
If you are in need of anything in the graphic design department I would highly recommend contacting Amy. I am so very happy with everything she's done for me. I'm actually looking around for things she can design for me. I'll keep looking but in the meantime go see her shop!

I miss living near the ocean

I so miss living near the ocean. I love putting my feet in the sand. I don't love where the sand seems to end up but I'll take it if I could live near the ocean again. Here are a few more pictures for you to enjoy today.


If you've seen 'Finding Nemo' you'll know what I'm talking about. (If you haven't then go rent it because its a good movie!) So for those of you who have seen it, all I could think about when I saw the gulls walking and flying around was 'Mine, mine, mine!' I really think they we're saying that!
Anyway enjoy!

I'm so busy!

I'm feeling a little like this bird looks! I'm so busy but I'm not complaining just sayin'. I have some new things in the works and hope to share soon. So I'm just popping in to say Hi and now off to work again. Have a good Wednesday!

A few pretties for you to enjoy

Okay, where in the heck have I been!? Well I've been in San Diego for a little girls birthday. She turned 5. So we went to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. I'll show you pictures of the rest of the trip but for right now I thought you would enjoy a few flowers. The one above has to be my favorite.







Okay so these two nuts aren't flowers but I thought I would show them anyway. Hope you have a good week.
