new jewelry & mailing my app

Today it is official. I've sent in my application for my very first craft show.
O M Gosh!
I'm a bit excited!

I'm also a bit excited about Black Friday coming up in just a few days. I don't know if I've ever been this excited for Black Friday. Something has happened to me. I must have the Black Friday Fever or something.

So anyway. I've worked on some more jewelry today. And I am so excited about some pieces. I've only taken a 'group' picture of what I've done.

 
 
But I'm excited. As I said before.
 
Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you continue to do so.

getting ready for the show

I have been some kind of busy these past two days. And I have had a blast.

I am closer to getting my stuff ready for the show.

My first craft show!
(I still have to send my application in.) (But I have to work on my inventory first.)

But anyway ... Let's get to showing you my work! I know that is what you're waiting on.

 
I love the colors of this triple cross and it just came together at the last minute.
I also love when that happens.
{Price: $35.00}

 
This is so girly! I love it and any little princess would love it also.
{Price: $10.00}


Our first sell on Etsy was a plaque just like this one. We were so proud.
{Price: $10.00}


This is the perfect Christmas sign to add to your home décor this Christmas.
{Price: $10.00}


This is another sign that you can add to your Christmas décor.
Remember to keep Christ in Christmas all the time!
{Price: $10.00}


This is a small cross that I did at the last minute. I needed to put joy on something. This cross is in gold. It's small and light. It's the great small piece to add to your home décor.
{Price: $5.00}

That is all so far. Please comment if you have any questions.

on the search for a new cutting machine

Many years ago I got a Cricut. It was the small one. I have loved it and I have used the fire out of it. Due to it being so old, it doesn't work as well as it use to though. I can't use it for big projects or anything - just little stuff that I can do really quick.

So now.. I'm looking for a new one. I'm also looking for a bigger one.

I initially thought I wanted another Cricut. Maybe the Cricut Expression. I started searching for a good deal on one and the price was always just a little higher than I wanted to pay for it.

So then I did what any other internet shopper does. I did my research! I found out that the Cricut isn't what I want to go with this time around.

Now I'm moving on to a Silhouette Cameo.

I'm so excited!!!

I am praying that the Silhouette website will have a black Friday deal on the Cameo. I am waiting to see!

In other news...
I have several projects that I am working on and I am going to be really busy starting tomorrow. I will be posted some photos of finished products also. So please come back and visit to see what new is for sale at J+K Creations.

{Q&A time}
I am curious to know... Do you have a cutting machine? What kind do you like best?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Photography

 It is soooo cold here. It's only going to get colder. That being said, I won't get any new work done quickly.
 
But I've uploaded some of my photography that is for sale in my shop.
 
These photos can be framed. They are so beautiful! I love to photograph landscape and landmarks. When I see them printed out, the pictures just blows my mind. I love having photos that remind me of God's beauty.
 
So here are some of those beautiful shots...
 
 
I have to say that this is my absolutely most favorite shot. It is titled 'Beautiful America'.
*All of these shots can come in Black & White, Sepia, and/or Color.


 
This is my second most favorite shot. It looks like it would be so peaceful to sit on that bench! It is titled 'Small Town Seat'.
 

 
I have to say that I love this one too. It is titled 'Quiet Place'. 

 
This one is 'Roadside Sunset'. I love the colors. God is so glorious!!
 
You can get all of these shots and more from my Etsy shop.
 
That's it for today.

Well... I've been busy today.
 
I've marked out wood for my hubby to cut. He doesn't trust me to cut it. (I'm nervous anyway - so it's all good.)
 
I'm working on stuff for my first show. Hopefully. I've got to get stuff made and submit my application. I really hope that I am accepted!
 
I made my first cups. One is mine. Below is the one for sale. I will sale it for $3.
 
Then I made my first jewelry pieces. They are being sold for $2 each.
 
I'm just working and I hope that you're enjoying. Hopefully I'll get some followers soon! :)

Thanks!

Welcome Sign - Merry Christmas

Here is the first post of what is for sale.
This is the 'Merry Christmas (tree) Welcome Sign'.
Price: $35 [Free Shipping]
This isn't on the Etsy site and this is the only one that I have.

very first blog post

Hi!

It's nice to be here. It's nice to be doing what has been swimming around in my head and heart for a while now.

First off... Let me tell you who I am and what this blog is about.

I am the 'K' of J&K. At this time, that is all I am going to say about who I am. You may call me K.

This blog is going to be about my work - my crafts - my art - my passion and love.

I love to craft.
I love photography.

This blog is going to be about those 2 things. I will post what I am working on and what I am selling in my Etsy shop.

If you see something that you like and/or want. Contact me. It's that simple. You can comment here or through my Etsy shop. I am eager to work with you on creating something that you want or something that you want to give to someone else. That is so fun for me!!

I know that I said that this blog will be about my crafts and my photography. But, who knows what God has in store for this blog. Who knows what God has in store for me or my life. I am not going to pretend like I have it all together and I'm not going to pretend that I have a plan here. I don't. I know how I am going to start out but, no one knows where I am going to end up. So I just hope that you follow me and enjoy the ride.

Thanks for being here!
