Branch out to Dzign by Jamie!

Star Tag by Dzign by JamieWords are powerful, whether they be written in chalk or carved in stone. Or better yet, hand stamped into metal jewelry by Dzign by Jamie. And, oh my stars and garters, does she get the word out about her craft - she has FOUR online stores to share her unique gift ideas with potential customers! And you guessed it by her dog tag design to the right, TheCraftStar is her favorite venue. I had to check the handmade boutique site out after she told me, "TheCraftStar is new, fresh and fun! The owner is amazing and they have a great group of people networking to get our items out there on the www."

Jamie has always been a rock star at crafting - from sewing to macrame to leather work to needlework to knitting. Making stained glass with her mom led to lampwork beads with a friend. The overabundance of beads motivated her to try her hand at jewelry. But living in the cold northern reaches of Wisconsin made it hard to make beads during the winter so it was time for a change! And the rest is history, as they say. She discovered personalized hand stamped jewelry and fell head over feet. The technique allows for a lot of creativity. Plus, hammering on metal is so stress relieving. She confides, "And my customers are my best inspiration when it comes to stamping on metal. If you imagine it, I'll create it."

Bunny Blog Hop and Comment Spree

For my seasonal hop this spring, I challenge my fellow bloggers to actually hop along with the bunnies. You can paint, craft or bake new creations to share, or feature your favorite rabbit-inspired items by other artists. It is entirely up to you how you wish to celebrate the furry theme; just have fun! This linky party will keep multiplying until chased away by another challenge near the summer solstice, so you have plenty of time to participate. Check back every Thursday to see new submissions, plus a weekly featured Etsy listing chosen by yours truly.


1. Pretty please with carrot cake add the 300x250px graphic or 125x125px button below to your blog, either to your entry or to your sidebar. A text link is fine, too.

2. Visit at least 3 (it is the magic number, you know) posts, starting with the last and moving on to the others that catch your eye. Leave a relevant comment and don't forget to mention that you're drifting by from aquariann's Bunny Blog Hop!

3. Link your bunny-themed post to the list. You're welcome to add more than one link, even if written months ago. However, please wait at least 24 hours between and comment on an additional 3 posts each time. Also, they must link to the individual post - all links to a blog home page will be fwicasseed, Elmer Fudd style.
