Have you heard?

Today I have a few special endeavors that I just have to share with you. Several friends have recently announced some wonderful news, and I’m posting them here just in case you haven’t seen them yet.

First up, Kerry Bogert of KABS Concepts is launching her first eCourse – SNAPTASTIC: Clicking Your Way To Beautiful Jewelry Photos. She debuted this course recently at ArtBLISS, and it was a HIT. In this beginner/adv.beginner course, you’ll learn all you need to know about the essential settings on your camera, how to set up a photography “booth”, styling attention-grabbing photos, and editing your digital photos. Let’s face it, these are important skills for any jewelry designer to become familiar with, whether selling on Etsy or submitting work to be juried….or simply sharing jewelry on their blogs! We’re all interested in learning how to improve our jewelry photography.

Join Kerry in the classroom from October 17th through November 20th. This course is will be available after the initial 5-week session, and there is also an option for a pdf of the eBook.

More good news: Molly Alexander of Beautifully Broken Me has created a brand new blog dedicated to counting the blessings in our lives. Here is the description you’ll find on Grateful Living:

This is a space for expressing gratitude.

For people.
For circumstances.
For moments.

Dig in, spend time and think about the things you are grateful for in your life, right at this moment.

And enjoy them.
Today.

Celebrate them.
Today.

You’ll want to visit Grateful Living to read heart-warming and inspirational experiences by many friends – yours and mine. New posts will be up several times per week – stop by for more on the cup-half-full perspective!
