feature, reworked item, new camera

Thank you to Theresa from Theresa's Treasures for featuring my summer stripes peyote cuff in her Favorites for Friday post yesterday! It means a lot to me to get featured anyway, and Theresa's blog is one of my favorite blogs to drop by regularly. :)

I reworked another existing design this week. I also finally started my Indian Summer EBW Challenge piece. Hopefully I will be able to finish that this weekend and start my green leafy bracelet order as well.

I ended up getting a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS this week. Thank you much to everyone who gave me advice about digital cameras! I would not have been able to make a decision without it and all of the people who gave this camera good reviews on the Amazon and Best Buy sites. I haven't taken any pictures of jewelry with it yet. I did take some pictures of my students at school yesterday and was very pleased with the results. I'll post more feedback about the camera as I get to know it better.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

new listings, looking for digital camera advice

I listed the last two pieces from this summer over the weekend.



I did one remake of an existing design this week after I'd reworked the original for one of my summer orders. I took pictures, but I haven't edited the new ones yet.

I am considering getting a new digital camera sometime in the next 3 months. My husband and I recently received our cell phone rebates (we got new phones at the end of June), which turned out to be Visa Promotion Cards. I was planning to put the rebate money in the bank, but obviously we have to spend it instead. It looked like we needed to replace our dryer, but thankfully we don't so the money will not be going to that now. And I'm thinking about using it for a digital camera, which my husband is okay with.

I currently have a Nikon Coolpix 3200 which I got almost 5 years ago. I love Nikon and have been pleased with this model, but we all know how quickly digital cameras go obsolete. It's frustrating *sigh*, but what can you do? I know there are much better models out there now for about what my original digital camera cost. I am most likely going to get another Coolpix, but am looking for advice on what model to get. Any tips anyone can give would be much appreciated! :)
