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 :)

A Bracelet for Anyone!


Here we are again on a Saturday night and it's time to give something away! Tonight's fabulous is a Half-Persian 4-in-1 bracelet in copper and it is one of my all-time favorite bracelets to wear. HP 4-in-1 is slinky and very comfortable to wear and it's suitable for both men and women!

Tonight's prize is a bracelet made in 20 gauge wire - again, suitable for a man or a woman. The winner will get to choose the length they need and type of clasp they would prefer. The bracelet will come to you shiny and bright and sealed with Renaissance Wax to maintain that shiny appearance.

All you do to enter is leave a comment below and tell me - when it comes to music, what is your favorite stuff to listen to? I'm an all-over-the-map kind of girl but lately, I've been listening to a lot of Adele and Alice in Chains (see what I mean about all over the map?) when I'm working. Please leave either an email address or your Facebook name in your comment so I'll know how to contact you if you win. Thanks for playing everyone and good luck!

    Anything from Southern Gospel to Classic Rock (as in 70s) to Reggae to Christian Contemporary to Adele to Metallica. Yep, another all-over-the-map kinda girl! :) I love this bracelet, and if I won it, I'd give it to my hubby for Father's Day!!! It's about time he got to wear something of yours! :) Thanks for another awesome giveaway, Karen! <3

    Celtic is my favorite. From De Dannan to Clannad to U2. Instrumental with pipes or sung in Gaelic or English. I love it all!

    I usually only get a chance when I'm driving, but I have been listening to Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and for my kids The Fresh Beat Band.

    I'll listen to just about anything, except for really hardcore rap. I like the classics (mozart etc) the other classics (Zeppelin, etc) the new classics (Adele, etc) and all the fun stuff in between! :)

    I basically like to confuse Pandora, because I listen to pretty much everything. I'll listen to new stuff like Lady Gaga, but I also like Michael Buble, and I like older music - I mean, I grew up on the Beach Boys and Weird Al Yankovic. I've rolled down my window at a stoplight next to someone blaring rap and blared polka music right back at them :P
