The start of something new...

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing here.

I suppose I should start with a brief introduction.

Hi, my name is Mickey (aka M.J.  aka EmJay) and I'm addicted to beads.  I recently started a shop on Etsy.com as a way to sell my jewelry and crafts... all proceeds will likely go to support my ever-growing bead habit.

I'll hopefully be sharing some of my other crafty obsessions here too.  I make handmade paper & do some paper crafty stuff as well as painting and sewing a bit.  I'm thrifty by nature and love to hit the second-hand and goodwill shops for supplies and inspiration.

If you've just stumbled by I hope you'll bear with me as I get used to this blogging thing and maybe find something useful here eventually.

Cheers!
