Getting Started - Hello World!

Ciao fellow readers.  This is my first attempt at creating a blog, so bear with me.  Why is it that the tech savvy generation finds it so easy to get started with one of these, and I seem to be blog challenged...  Well, despite my inaptitude, I really hope you will enjoy reading my posts. The Jillian's Jewels blog will be dedicated to jewelry making, jewelry supplies, jewelry links, helpful suggestions for making jewelry, my jewelry making experiences and anything else jewelry related I can think of.  My wish is that it is helpful for you, like so many others have helped me along the way.

Currently, I am really interested in making jewels with semi-precious stones, such as, Jasper, Agate, Pearls, Coral, Carnelian, Turquoise, and any others that are eye-catching, chunky, and just fun to wear.  So here it goes, I'm going to give away my number one secret on my very first blog: I shop for beads at www.giftsjoy.com.

About Gifts Joy:
This website is my favorite for shopping beads because it sales semi-precious stones at wholesale prices with no minimum order. You will also get a discount depending on how much you order, so you can save as much as 30% off the listed price. They also ship worldwide, which is very convenient for me while I'm living in Italy. If any of you know of a better place with such an easy-to-navigate sales website and great selection, please do leave me a comment!

Here are a few of the necklaces I currently have for sale.  Enjoy!
