Years ago DA inspired me to get out my pens and paper again something I hadn't done in a very long time...I love that about this place..but my true passion is for beading...something I just didn't see much of at all here.  Now after another year long abscence...I see many other jewelry artists and even a jewelry club! I'm so excited to be inspired by other jewelry artists as well as other types of art. I hope I have time to stick around...I need to make the time. I was overwhelmed by the years worth of submissions I needed to go back through and comment on, I tried to do a lot of them, but found myself not being balanced again (as this place often captures me and whisks me away from my responsibilities) so I decided to just clear everything and start fresh. That way I can check back every day while I'm sitting here working on my jewelry and on my website and have time to enjoy everybody's work.

Sounds like a good plan
