Super Noob:
Russia

Since I have no shame, and I am trying to earn money to fund my trip to Russia, I am posting about my jewelry site...again.

If you have yet to come see me at my own custom jewelry shop, then what are you waiting for? I have some new additions, and some pieces that have proven to be favorites for many. My prices are reasonable, and I work on every piece as if I am going to wear it myself or give it to someone I love :)

Oh, and I have a new button there on the right. Any chance I can interest you in grabbing it? There might be a little giveaway related to it in the not so distant future.

So, I ask...what on earth could be better than treating yourself and helping another achieve a long awaited goal?

Come on over here have a look around. There might be just the thing for you or someone you know.

For over ten years now I have only dared dream about travelling to Russia. It wasn’t until last year that I really began to consider it as an actual possibility, but even then, it seemed so distant. Just a wisp of a possibility.

Then, my husband recently said to me “why don’t you just go. Go this year!” In that instant, the wisp of possibility began to take shape. The shape of something tangible. Reality. I’m going to Russia! Along with a very good friend of mine (as encouraging as Andy is about it all, he has zero interest in going with me). She and I will be setting off to an unknown (to us) world sometime in September 2011. I am giddy whenever I think about it.

So much to plan between now and then. So much to consider. I am wide open to ideas or advice!!

Back in the US, back in the US, back in the USSR! (Oh, I know it's now the Russian Federation), but the lyrics from that song just seemed to fit.
