Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Karen Snyder and I've been a crafter for about as long as I can remember. I am a stay-at-home-Mama of two beautiful children with a husband who makes my dreams possible.

This blog is about all sorts of crafting. I am a paper-crafter from early days, a jewelry-maker with an unending obsession for chain maille. I make chain maille purses, many of which will be chronicled in this blog as their future owners await their completion. I love metalsmithing. I am an indifferent beader and don't get me anywhere near seed beads... they scatter, screaming to get away from me. I love to try new things, have a short attention span so if its a long-term project... I'm probably not doing it LOL.

If you have questions, ask. If you have tips, share. Same with suggestions - share! I want this to be a great forum for people to brainstorm and problem-solve with a good attitude. Crabby Apples need not respond, this is a feel-good kind of blog :)

Earring Entry 8/25/10

Here is your entry opportunity for today!  We've talked about our first crushes before, but surely our tastes have changed as we've grown older, right?  So tell me, who's your favorite celeb hottie now?  For me, it is Sam Elliott.  Let me take a moment here to fan myself!  I first saw Sam in a TV series called "The Yellow Rose," and he has only gotten better with time.  His voice, his smile, those eyes.... whew!  Everytime I hear the "Beef, it's what's for dinner" commercials with his voice, I can't help but think, "Oh that sounds good!"  LOL!

    Viggo Mortenson. But only if he is in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Rugged Sexy! Met Sam Elliott, by the way, when he was filming Tombstone. My husband will tell you my crush is a certain vampire. Maybe some nights.

    It has and always will be Treat Williams. I first saw him in the 70's in Hair (the movie) and everytime I see him in a show (regardless of how good or bad it is), I just sit there and drool. He has the good looks of a movie star with just enough ruggedness for me to think he's 'real'. *heart sigh* He makes me weak at the knees. Monique xx

    Oooh luck you Anne! I think if I met Sam, the power of speech would desert me and I'd be a drooling lump of silence LOL. Viggo IS hot in LOTR for sure. You are entered :)

    Hate typos! lol

    Okay... eenie meenie miney mo... lol.

    I'm gonna take a different spin on 'celebrity' and admit to my lust for Chris Daughtry. I mean, seriously, all I wanna do is lick the top of his sexy head. For starters, at least... ;)

    And my husband (who is my real-life hottie!) has given me standing permission to do so, should the situation ever present itself. :D

    Because I have 2 teenage daughters I have to say Jacob from Twilight has great abs. The more grown up choice would be Ryan Reynolds.

  19. Anne & GraysonAugust 25, 2010 at 10:08 AM

    I love Alan Rickman! Orlando Bloom as an elf, again with the LOTR, is simply yummy. Karen, one day when we both have time, I will tell you my Sam Elliot story. It's pretty funny.
