I love seeing all of your creative jewelry and I get a high seeing you make jewelry from my ceramic pendants and charms! It brings me so much joy! You've played a big role in my life. Encouraging me and inspiring me. I hope to meet you in person someday, but until then I look forward to sharing with you here and through the mail! :)Erin Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363556155704677633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970061452216126850.post-2133704992342476762009-01-09T00:52:00.000-05:002009-01-09T00:52:00.000-05:00Beautiful post, Lorelei. I feel the same way. I ...Beautiful post, Lorelei. I feel the same way. I remember back in 1993 trying to explain to someone how interesting the World Wide Web was (and I basically meant Usenet groups back then that I participated in through UNIX). The man in question, who ironically went on to become a hi tech lawyer, kept asking me "But what good is it? What can you do with it?" I think it's immensely satisfying to be able to use this modern technology to advance very personal goals and interactions. And handmade goods, too! As a stay-at-home Mom, it's saved my sanity. I love my son, but if I didn't have this daily connection to the outside world through beading and through the Internet, I think I would be climbing the walls by now. And having the opportunity to meet like-minded people is wonderful. Of course, my mother claims I am an "Internet addict", but that's a whole different story...Melissa J.

I guess in this world, sometimes you do have to make "electronic" connections - I know I sound old, but it seems to be the way of the future - mostly computer communication!

In fact, when you skip a day, I get cranky! I know what you mean about making friends as adults, it is difficult these days to make a deep connection. I have a few close friends, but would like to expand that number!<BR/><BR/>Keep on posting and making your gorgeous jewelry...I look forward to your new creations and reading about your daily life.

You all are so nice leaving these comments for me!!<BR/>Even though I can't just call any of you up on a whim to head to the local Starbucks for a coffee or drop in to say to you, I know I can find you here, in internet land, and sometimes that's just as good.

I am a big fan of artists supporting other artists, so I am never afraid to leave positive comments on your designs or anyone else's that I find appealing. I've found inspiration from your work. Your blog is the first one I read everyday and I enjoy what you have to share.
