All About Etsy

A few days ago I had a wonderful surprise - Judy Evans' Collection was featured in a blog! Whitney at http://allaboutetsy.blogspot.com/ discussed me and my jewelry line, and added a few pictures.

All About Etsy is a great blog that talks about many of the wonderful shops found in etsy.com. There's also some great pictures by Whitney and a link to her photo shop. Please visit and and leave a comment for Whitney.

I'm very honored that someone would take the time and effort to promote my website - Thank you Whitney ~

The first person to share has to be Debbie. I’ve known her all my adult life (and remember that I’m old enough to live in a senior community!). Sorry Deb, you're old enough to live here too!

Debbie and I were best of friends before children, during children rearing years, and as empty nesters. During the early days Deb & I did all sorts of crafts. We loved it when our husbands would spend days/weekends dirt bike riding or golfing. That was our time to bring out the paints and paint plaster of paris. (Remember those white things that people painted & stained?) We thought we were sooo talented!!!

We also frosted each other’s hair (now it’s called highlights). Did any of you do that too with the plastic caps that you pulled hair through? Debbie & I were so careful to only get tiny bits of hair rather than big clumps. We were stylin.

Debbie is responsible for getting me started in jewelry design. In the Fall of 2003 Bev, Debbie & I had a girls weekend at Debbie’s home in Las Vegas. We’d kind of lost touch because Debbie hadn’t lived locally in many years. It was so great to get back together again, and like all the other times when she'd been away, we were able to pick up right where we left off.

She could hardly wait to show me her new craft – jewelry making! I was so impressed – I was so naïve that I didn’t think everyday people could do that. She took me to her local bead store and I was hooked. We went back at least 3 times that weekend - here we were in Vegas and we spent our weekend making jewelry & going to the bead store! As soon as I got home, I went to my local bead store. I spent a fortune that weekend.

My husband reminds her that she started something that hasn’t stopped! He blames her for my obsession – fortunately he loves her as much as I do.

Debbie – you are the reason for my passion! I love you dearly.
