welcome

This is the Joyful Jewelry Journal (or J3 for short)...call me old fashioned, but I like the word journal. I suppose it would be more relevant if I called it the Blissful Bauble Blog (or B3 for short), but while the alliteration works, it does not capture the same essence. Let's be honest, life is rarely blissful. Sure those 2 or 3 stolen days each year spent basking in the sun on a long sandy beach are blissful. But how often does that happen? (Not enough that is for sure.) Joy on the other hand we can aspire to each and every day. So this blog will be an old fashioned journal in the new fangled blogosphere. It will be about joy and about jewelry, sometimes connected, often not.
