If your life revolves around art and ETSY, then the answer is probably No. I sold Speed Racer this morning, and it made my Friday :)It's strange that when I become discouraged about my jewelry, that's usually when I sell something. Yesterday, and all this week really, I was down and out and not feeling creative in the least. I refused to get my Mattanda Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845189292477186461noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702009403690835521.post-22748292939596704352009-03-30T10:25:00.002-04:002009-03-30T10:29:50.353-04:00TGI Friday'sJust a helpful tip during this time of economic difficulty....If you love TGI Friday's, here's a link to a great coupon that you should take advantage of!

It's time to start prepping for the GRE yet again. I hate that test so much! The first time around I hardly studied as much as I should have ( I can admit that now), and this time I want to do it up right. If only it were that easy...If you've ever taken the GRE, any advice/tips/prayers would be appreciated.Mattanda Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845189292477186461noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702009403690835521.post-23645089309291698702009-03-09T12:52:00.003-04:002009-03-09T13:01:15.041-04:00Spread Awareness and Rock the Red Pump!National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is Tuesday, March 10th. It's a nationwide initiative to raise awareness of the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS on women & girls and encourages ladies to take action. The concept is simple: Rock the Red Pump on your blog to represent the strength and courage of women fighting HIV/AIDS or affected by the disease both directly and indirectly.To find Mattanda Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845189292477186461noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702009403690835521.post-64451989037040779912009-03-03T18:46:00.002-05:002009-03-03T18:51:39.305-05:0014 Inches of SnowWell, we got a total of 14 inches of snow on Sunday night, thus shutting down the entire county and giving me a day off! I spent the day making jewelry and posting it on my etsy site. Time consuming and somewhat dull, but it needed to be done. The one great thing that came from all of the snow was seeing my Dachshund, Alfie, playing in it :) He's so light that he didn't even fall through the snowMattanda Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845189292477186461noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702009403690835521.post-41369467624490985192009-03-03T15:30:00.000-05:002009-03-03T15:32:55.860-05:00Hello World!Well, I finally did it. I got a Blog, and although I’m excited, I honestly have no idea how to write and/or manage a Blog. I suppose trial and error with aid me through this process.A little about me….I am an independent jewelry designer from New York. I enjoy being creative (through any means), but lately jewelry has been my passion. I usually dream up all of my pieces and then make them the Mattanda Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845189292477186461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702009403690835521.post-10690595804988752062009-03-03T15:12:00.000-05:002009-03-03T15:20:02.652-05:00Last night my husband and I travled into Brooklyn to see Mabou Mines performance of Ibsen’s “Dollhouse.” Now, if you are reading this and you plan on seeing this production, I warn you that I will most likely spoil it for you…so read or don’t read, it’s up to you.The venue, St. Ann’s Warehouse, was really amazing. It is an actual warehouse that sits between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. TheMattanda Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845189292477186461noreply@blogger.com0
