I don't mean to abandon this blog entirely. Things have just been incredibly busy. That's the obvious reason, but there's just an underlying I don't have a vision for this blog. Part of me wants it to just be about my life and just post whatever I want- Etsy stuff, spiritual thoughts, Julian & Jane updates, product reviews, etc. Everything I've read though seems to discourage mixing business and personal stuff on a blog. For example,  I'm the Captain of the Tampa Bay Etsy Crew and I do represent the group publicly, but I wouldn't want my blog to reflect on the group because it's not politically or religiously neutral at all! The group has to be both of those things. At the same time, I love having my blog on my business cards and letting my customers know I'm a person and artist and not a mass manufacturer. I just don't know what I'll end up doing.

This blog is long overdue, but, uh, product testing, right? I always have a decent sized amount of keys and a ragtag assortment of key chains holding them. They fall apart and then I just have random rings. So, when I saw KC's gorgeous leather version, I thought to myself, This is not going to fall apart anytime soon!  

I have to say, it's exceeded my expectations. I underestimated how awesome having the large clip on one end would be. Some of my purses are huge- I can clip this to the strap and never key hunt again. Oh, and did I mention these are LESS than $10? Real leather, solid hardware, you can't beat that price. Anyway, I'm already thinking about Christmas. These are going to be my stocking stuffer of choice. Go check out KC's Etsy shop  at http://www.etsy.com/shop/BirdhouseDesigns.

I inherited the Darth Vader key chain from Jason somehow

Love this yellow color!

Stars!
