&amp;nbsp;I will be creating more food in miniature in the future because I find it to be a calming thing to do. &amp;nbsp;What is cool about this wedding cake is that the white clay already had glitter mixed into it and so that is why I decided to make a wedding cake. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rRNVBKsrrcw/TgnZXpM-MMI/AAAAAAAAAQI/QkoposrsyjE/s1600/IMGP1971.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rRNVBKsrrcw/TgnZXpM-MMI/AAAAAAAAAQI/QkoposrsyjE/s200/IMGP1971.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5DA_RbSSoE/TgnZY3uVKwI/AAAAAAAAAQM/zjKQsoxsnV8/s1600/IMGP1972.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5DA_RbSSoE/TgnZY3uVKwI/AAAAAAAAAQM/zjKQsoxsnV8/s200/IMGP1972.JPG" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VNTFh_NyXjI/TgnZaS42YEI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/NQTfDZ9ep-4/s1600/IMGP1979.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VNTFh_NyXjI/TgnZaS42YEI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/NQTfDZ9ep-4/s200/IMGP1979.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It will be adorable in a cute little bakery or a wedding scene. &amp;nbsp;OR in my case, I would want it sitting on the kitchen table inside my MANSION of a house where the woman are frantically preparing for Ms. Rose's Wedding Day!

I know this is completely off the subject of what my blog and business is about but I just wanted to let you all know what I have been up to lately outside of clay wishes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="left"&gt;     As some of you may know I am running the Detroit Free Press half marathon on October 17&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;. As part of my training/run I wanted to do something other than running the race. I wanted some sort of purpose and meaning for doing so. So I found this Team Challenge - Fundraising website that raises money for children with illnesses and disabilities to go to a camp. You can check out the link below but I thought this was a great way to feel like I am doing something other than just running a race for me. I am not a person who likes to ask for money but this fundraiser means a lot to me and I know it would mean a lot to a child out there to go to this camp. All it takes is a little from each person which can go a long way; $5, $10, etc. My goal is to reach $500 before my race next month, but if I can raise more than MORE POWER TO ALL OF YOU! : )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Fundraising Page&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.teamholeinthewall.org/Running_for_a_Purpose"&gt;http://www.teamholeinthewall.org/Running_for_a_Purpose&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" align="left"&gt;The website for more information: &lt;a href="http://www.teamholeinthewall.org/"&gt;http://www.teamholeinthewall.org/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-307826978066237525?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/307826978066237525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=307826978066237525' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/307826978066237525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/307826978066237525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2010/09/team-hole-in-wall.html' title='Team Hole in the Wall'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/TID-MSDZ7OI/AAAAAAAAANs/km3u6EN0YdY/s72-c/THITW.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-9014490856042820528</id><published>2010-08-16T06:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-16T06:57:03.768-07:00</updated><title type='text'>An August Giveaway - Cotton Candy Anyone??</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/TGlAfy7tSMI/AAAAAAAAANc/fpCYDAdAZSU/s1600/bear.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/TGlAfy7tSMI/AAAAAAAAANc/fpCYDAdAZSU/s200/bear.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506002934429468866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/TGlAfg9yT4I/AAAAAAAAANU/__RL87cuUfw/s1600/bear1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/TGlAfg9yT4I/AAAAAAAAANU/__RL87cuUfw/s200/bear1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506002929606348674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cotton candy is one of my children hood pastimes.

After several people entered the drawing I randomly picked Sheri &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Toro&lt;/span&gt; as the winner of this bear.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I had a lot of fun making her as well as the excitement of the drawing to see who would be the lucky winner.  I would like to have a random drawing like this every month, however I think I will extend the chance to enter by 2/3 weeks.  That will give ample time for my fans to enter the drawing.  I am also only 10 away from having 100 fans!!!!  Of course, the 100&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; fan will receive a special something from &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Clay Wishes &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;as well.     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is also that time of year again that I just LOVE!  &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;FALL&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; :)  I am starting to receive more special orders this year, which I love because it gives me so much creativity and my fans let me express that.  It makes me feel great when I can create something special for someone in which they can cherish forever (and I do not mean to sound like a Hallmark card) but it is TRUE!  I have also come to discover that many people are not fond of special orders because they feel it puts pressure on them which I do understand but I guess you can call me "strange" for loving the idea of special orders.  However, I have not experienced a customer who was not happy with their special order YET and I am sure at some point that MAY happen.  I just hope I can make MOST, if not ALL, of my customers happy!  I love you all &amp;amp; thank you for becoming my fan and/or followers!!!!  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-9014490856042820528?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/9014490856042820528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=9014490856042820528' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/9014490856042820528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/9014490856042820528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-giveaway-cotton-candy-anyone.html' title='An August Giveaway - Cotton Candy Anyone??'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/TGlAfy7tSMI/AAAAAAAAANc/fpCYDAdAZSU/s72-c/bear.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-8435717732507934090</id><published>2010-08-04T06:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-04T06:39:52.842-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Fan Giveaway!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I have decided to give away one of my creations to one of my fans.  :)  It might be the mini cake I just made OR it might be something new, I have not decided yet.

A 3-Tier Miniature Cake!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Happy August 1st everyone!!!  I have been a bit under "the weather" lately but I am trying to pick myself up and get back on track.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today did get off  to a slow start but I was able to workout, grocery shop, run miscellaneous errands and fit in a few chapters of my book, "Eat, Pray, Love" and make this cute three tier heart cake.  This was one of three miniature cakes I have attempted to make but the first with roses.  I had fun making this! The biggest task was trying to figure out how to make the roses as realistic as possible.  I think I came close.  ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The cake was especially made to fit into a 1/12th size doll house.  The entire cake is made from polymer clay and made especially by me.  ;)  I think I will be making more of these cakes and other miniature items as well.  I LOVE these!!  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you would like to place an order for this cake or have one specially made for your doll house, just email me at claywishes@yahoo.com.

I hope your St. Patty's Day &amp;amp; luck of the Irish served you well!  I know the luck of the Irish was on my side on Wednesday.  I just received news on Wednesday that I the firm I recently interviewed for wanted to offer me a position.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;YAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt; ME!!!  So I will be transitioning into this new position on April 1st and I have a feeling it is going to be a wonderful learning experience.  My current place of employment is closing and forming a new firm and my position was cut.  I was in shock but am very happy it has all worked out for everyone.  Change is good, right????  I may not like it sometimes but this time it just feels right.  I am still going to school full-time in the Spring, which ironically starts on April 5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;.  I will have a full schedule that's for sure!!!  We will see how the next year pans out and I hope I can learn as much as possible and learn most of it in a year.  By the way my position at this new firm is a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Litigation Secretary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;.  Yup!  This is the business aspect of my life, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;.  The 9-5er!  I think this will put "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Clay Wishes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;" on hold for a few months because of the change but I need some creative outlet during this time and I will probably be sticking with my miniatures during this time.

Fan pages that are directed towards polymer clay. The things people create are amazing!! There are some really talented artists out there. :D After seeing many of these pages, I feel so inspired again! Of course, I have not stopped creating my little animals, however we all know that from time to time our inspiration goes away. I know what helps me get that inspiration back is by looking at other talented artists out there. Someone who has inspired me to start creating a lot more is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Flakey-n-Friends/265696090900"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Flakey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt; 'n Friends&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;.

Here is Lil' Miss Christmas Piggy baking gingerbread cookies for Christmas!  I actually made this for an old friend of mine for Christmas because she loves piggy's so much!  It seemed to be a big hit so I have decided that this one will be included in my inventory on my upcoming website to be published in the Spring.  I always have fun making my figurines but sometimes I can be such a perfectionist.  This piggy took me a total of three tries because I HAD to have it perfect!!!  That can be my downfall sometimes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;As for current projects, I am currently working on bottled Santa's and pumpkins for next season!

It is officially hibernation weather!!!  Officially time to stay in doors and work on my site and figurines, don't ya think!?  :D  I have a four day weekend coming up and you can bet that is what I have planned for it!  I am very excited and happy that I FINALLY get to put time into my site because honestly with school, work, dance and friends I have not had time.  So this makes me very happy as you can see.  :)  I have SO many crazy ideas in store for everyone and I really cannot wait until the site is up and working.  So stay tuned for that!!!  :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;As for other things I am working on this weekend.  I have a doll house that I originally hoped to accomplish building, decorating, etc. by this Christmas but of course life got in the way.  I got this doll house as a gift from my parents for my 24th and was SO happy with it!  I do not have an updated photo of it but I do have something for you...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SyEHWWKpAyI/AAAAAAAAAH8/KxqRnW4AmDU/s200/DOLLHOUSE.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413616307564774178" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;This is of the inside before any paint, carpet or wallpaper went into it.  I will get pictures on this soon as well.  I am still not sure what I have planned for this house, but I am hoping that it just hits me as I continue to "create."  Below you will see another doll house that I own.  This house is just crazy!  As you can see it is massive by the cat in one of the pictures.  This is Picasso.  He just LOVED sleeping inside the rooms and I thought it was crazy when he jumped on the front porch!  This is a Lady Kathleen and I got a great deal on it!!  Right now it is selling for approximately $700.00 but I was able to snag it for only $150.00!!!  I just could not pass this up.  This house is actually in storage right now because of its size.  I do not have the room to put it but when the day comes you bet I will REALLY enjoy restoring it!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SyEJIfCBYSI/AAAAAAAAAIs/tcP7rXlVcZs/s200/DH2.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413618268449628450" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SyEJob4MdaI/AAAAAAAAAJE/6m8hgOJAyjE/s200/DH1.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413618817358919074" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Well, I guess I should get back to studying for my math final that I have tonight...wish me luck!

I am back in the action with my claying!  I made a baby elephant for a friend's baby shower coming up soon.  They are having a baby girl and her name is going to be Jocelyn.  I personalized the glass with the baby's name on it.  The theme of the baby's room is elephants so I thought it would be really nice if Alley and Jason (my friends 'the parents') have something nice to add to the room.  :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SuUBnMOvTeI/AAAAAAAAAH0/RooE5_CPdgE/s200/IMG_0323.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396721501282979298" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;You will not see the writing in these two photos because I took the pictures prematurely.

It has been awhile since I have posted or updated you on things going on so I thought I would show you a few things from my Kentucky trip this past weekend!  First off, I went to Kentucky with my best friend Suzie to visit her family.  Along the way we ran into some stray kittens next door to her Aunt &amp;amp; Uncle's house.  I am a big fan of this picture with the one stray cat that fell in love with us!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SuCzS14BbNI/AAAAAAAAAHU/ums2ccm9S9Y/s200/Blog.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 151px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395509489870925010" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SuCzTd4L33I/AAAAAAAAAHc/oqpd1o7PZAA/s200/Blog1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395509500609027954" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;I also have a video of this kitten and its CRAZY meow but will post it for you to view later.  We also stopped by the Kentucky Speedway on the way back to Michigan as well.  Such a massive track!!!  I will be going back next year for the Kentucky Derby!  :)  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;As for my claying adventures!!!  I have had a dry spell the last few months because of how busy I have been and going back to school full-time to become a teacher, but I am starting back up with them!!  Of course, I always get back into claying when Christmas season is pretty much over...I guess I have to plan for next year, huh??  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-6204013410367459105?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/6204013410367459105/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=6204013410367459105' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6204013410367459105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6204013410367459105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2009/10/kentucky-trip.html' title='Kentucky Trip!!!'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SuCzS14BbNI/AAAAAAAAAHU/ums2ccm9S9Y/s72-c/Blog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-8427862139088678244</id><published>2009-08-07T21:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T09:03:24.465-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cupcakes, Cupcakes...&amp; SMORE'S!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Okay so when I was talking to my mom one day she mentioned a website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tastespotting.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;http://www.tastespotting.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;, so I go and check the website out. It is full of colorful and delightful pictures of different blogs and pages from people all over the world. They share their recipes with everyone. Well, I have to tell you that I want sweets so bad!!! You see I started working out with a personal trainer last Tuesday, which is great, but I am on a 1200 calorie diet and am restricted to certain meal plans and what not. As long as I stay within my calories, I guess I am alright. So, if I want a cupcake should I have one??? I do!!!! I want one so bad but my inner self is telling me now. I never was one for sweets too much either. Isn't it strange when you know you can't have something, you want it even more!?!? Strange...lol. Well, I wanted to share some of the DELICIOUS treats that I found on there and I thought you guys might enjoy as well. Hey, I can look can't I? Plus, the pictures are very pretty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and by the way my favorite is the Smore's at the bottom of the page.  VERY INGENIOUS!!!  YUM!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367448643876220370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/Sn0CGohk7dI/AAAAAAAAAG8/yzPVF3VjKJg/s200/cup.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367448520069385442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/Sn0B_bTujOI/AAAAAAAAAG0/XBvF437eH6Q/s200/cake.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367448743988392866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/Sn0CMdeLc6I/AAAAAAAAAHE/OS2tGePFuJI/s200/cupcake.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367448849113859682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/Sn0CSlGCxmI/AAAAAAAAAHM/7y-eCO9aU30/s200/smores!.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-8427862139088678244?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/8427862139088678244/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=8427862139088678244' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/8427862139088678244'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/8427862139088678244'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2009/08/cupcakes-cupcakes-smores.html' title='Cupcakes, Cupcakes...&amp; SMORE&apos;S!'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/Sn0CGohk7dI/AAAAAAAAAG8/yzPVF3VjKJg/s72-c/cup.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-3006216916233587554</id><published>2009-07-30T17:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T09:03:41.168-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My New Items</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Below are my recent creations.

I hope everyone is evjoying the summer.  I cannot complain too much here.  I am trying to stay on track and make as many things as possible before the craft show this fall but it is hard sometimes.  I am currently in the mood to create my first thread bear.  I have a few books right now on it and want to give that a try this weekend.  Hopefully I will also post my other creations for you as well.  I created a face out of polymer clay and it turned out very well if I do say so myself!  I am in the process of creating his body and he is looking a little more realistic.  It is my first human face and I am very proud of it.  Anyways, I hope to have some items posted for you this weekend!  Keep a look out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Have a wonderful week everyone!~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-6260535511016056681?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/6260535511016056681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=6260535511016056681' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6260535511016056681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6260535511016056681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-thoughts.html' title='My Thoughts....'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-270036276526091322</id><published>2009-06-24T08:41:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T09:04:14.736-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='training'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='race'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='running'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='5K'/><title type='text'>My First 5K Race</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Well I trained for about 6 weeks to run my first race.  It was the Refuge River Run and proceeds went to keep the river clean in Elizabeth Park in Trenton, Michigan.  It was 3.1 miles long and my time was 31:47 minutes.  I was VERY happy because you see in training I was running it in 37 minutes or more but the furthest I went was approixmately 2 miles.  So, yes I was proud of myself for shaving off some of my personal time.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;It was also the night of the Stanley Cup Finals game 7 for the Red Wings and I knew I was going to miss the game because of this race.  I will tell you a little secret...I am a Red Wings fan but I was happier that I ran the race and in good time as well.  But then again I did catch the tail end of the 3rd period just in time to watch them loose.  :(  Hey, at least they gave us a good season right?  Well anyways, I am thinking about training for a 1/2 marathon this fall.  I am very excited and ready for it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-270036276526091322?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/270036276526091322/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=270036276526091322' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/270036276526091322'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/270036276526091322'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-first-5k-race.html' title='My First 5K Race'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-6662360234268556868</id><published>2009-06-22T08:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T09:04:27.326-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polymer clay'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='figurine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='craft show'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculpture'/><title type='text'>Fall Craft Show 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Well I am signing up for my very first craft show this fall.  I am very anxious and excited!  I am been working on my increasing my inventory for the show.  I have a lot of Christmas ornaments and a variety of items in store.  My cousin is also doing the show as well and she is in the same medium as me.  I guess you could say that talent runs in my family.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;My mother was telling me yesterday that craft shows are fun only if you do not expect to sell anything; that you go into the show with the intensions of just having a good time and meeting new people.  I believe this is true because when I went to my mother's craft show sometime ago, she sold only one thing and this discouraged her so much that I think that was the time she stopped creating her dolls.  It was just a bad location I think but of course it discouraged her because she went in with the attitude of selling a lot.  That was quiet awhile ago and she is now making quilts and purses for people in her life, so I am very happy she has not lost that creative side of her because of it.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;I hope to go into the craft show having fun, and possible coming out with some cash... ;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-6662360234268556868?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/6662360234268556868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=6662360234268556868' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6662360234268556868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6662360234268556868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2009/06/fall-craft-show-2009.html' title='Fall Craft Show 2009'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-4659384586232050091</id><published>2009-03-24T18:23:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T09:04:40.052-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A New Beary Member!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Blue Beary Faerie &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my newest creation!

Whether you make, collect, design, or just ponder the world of miniatures you know that are interested in the hobby. I have had my eye on miniatures since I was 16 years old, along with polymer clay. I finally &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;received&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt; my first DH at the age of 24 from my parents. I really could have bought one for myself but I did loose track for some time. Well I am happy to say that I am back into the art and building my first dollhouse, the Buttercup. I am still unsure as to what the theme of the house is going to be because, of course, I have so many ideas!!! Some of my ideas include: a school house, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Scandinavian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt; Christmas, a cat room and possibly a store front to name a few. I would also LOVE to design single rooms of my favorite stories when I was a child. However, this house has not given me any ideas yet but I am throwing the idea of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Scandinavian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt; Christmas around in my head for the time being. We will see what happens with the house as I progress. As of now I have the house built, wallpaper is up and the floor is about to go in. Oh yea! I also have electrified the house as well. Painting of the exterior is next in the process. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-6967380186165257851?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/6967380186165257851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=6967380186165257851' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6967380186165257851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/6967380186165257851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2009/03/miniature-galour.html' title='Miniature Galour!!!!!!'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413016198189703350.post-322401581856787054</id><published>2008-09-15T09:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T09:05:03.778-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Items Listed!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Hey everyone!

I guess I should tell you all that I make sculptures out of polymer clay. I have been doing so for 10 years on and off now. This is the first time I have made an effort to put my items up for sale anywhere. And this fall I am doing a craft show for the first time. That I know will be exciting!  I will let you all know how that goes.  The craft show is scheduled for November 1st.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a picture of the bear that I made and sold on etsy.  If you would like to see some more of my items, go to ClayWishes.etsy.com.  Currently, I have one item listed on etsy because of the craft show I am preparing for this fall.  I hope to list more soon for the holiday season for more of you to enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238472491363244386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SLLK-e1cmWI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/e-ue8vZSWLI/s320/Final+Bear.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3413016198189703350-1739387428464072209?l=claywishes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/feeds/1739387428464072209/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3413016198189703350&amp;postID=1739387428464072209' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/1739387428464072209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3413016198189703350/posts/default/1739387428464072209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://claywishes.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-first-sale.html' title='My First Sale!'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06259655157129427184</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_890hmk-WLc/TcFcPzIkimI/AAAAAAAAAPU/ANusrHBLiRs/s220/elephant.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4_ZDFMtPb3k/SLLK-e1cmWI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/e-ue8vZSWLI/s72-c/Final+Bear.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
