Lately, I have become very obsessed with blogs. Its like being able to read a new book everyday without going to the bookstore. Reading is one of my favorite past times. I haven't been doing much reading lately because I've been so focused on my jewelry and trying to blog about this journey to becoming a successful jewelry designer. I get so much inspiration from reading other blogs. I get inspired by the pictures which gives me an idea of new color schemes that would look great on a bracelet or necklace. Even a blog with no photos is inspiring because just reading the positive thoughts that are stored in someone's head is amazing.
I have been subscribing to a lot of blogs in the past couple of days. Once I read the blog and the person's profile, I feel like I know them. All of the blogs I read are so positive and motivational. When you surround yourself with positive people it makes you work that much harder knowing that you have the support of others who are cheering you on. That is the reason why I started this blog. To get positive feedback and to be supportive to other artist who need that little push in the right direction like I do.
I remember when I first told a few people at work that I was going to start making jewelry. A lot of them just laughed and a lot of them just said, "That's nice." No emotion behind the words and no encouragement. That's okay. I believe in myself and I believe that I can achieve any goal that I set for myself. I read a quote in a book that I am currently reading and it says, "Tell the world what you are going to do, but show them first." That is exactly what I plan to do.
Oh, and about the title....I didn't mean that literally. I've been checking out other people's blog rolls and I've been checking out what others are subscribing to. I look at the blogs and I read the one's that I think are interesting. That's what I meant about being a thief! I'm stealing everyone's blog rolls! Look out!
Ta Ta For Now.

And if you show them, what you can do, be prepared for the words: Oh, I didn't know, that you can do such things! Those were the words I heard most often, because people just don't expect me to be creative or crafty. But I say: Yes, I can! So just go on and show them what YOU can do. And feel free "steal" inspiration and blogrolls from me. :-)
