Awesome jewelry design!

I'm soo excited about some jewelry at work! Check them out! Of course that's my arm with them all stacked. (Whoa my arm looks weird there) They are the coolest! Why? Hello, look at those facets! How fun and cute and elegant. Simple yet awesome! You can never have too many bracelets.

One of my top recommendations if you happen to pop by the store. You have to get one!

This weekend, I brought my mom to South Sun to check out where I work and the awesome unique jewelry this store beholds. There was a yard sale happening outside and my mom found a bunch of things she just loved! And who doesn't love a great deal on jewelry?

It was pretty funny there because My mom loved soo many of the pretty beads but had no clue how to make a bracelet or necklace. I just don't think she has the time or patience to do it. So I got her a bunch of already made necklaces. Ya, good times at South Sun. aka: www.southsunproducts.com

Ya, And I might be a "jewelry girl" now after these bracelets.

Comic Sans

I like my fonts normal and readable.
Some people like them stylized and busy.

I remember a font from back in the day, everyone used it on like AIM, and cute emails, it was everywhere! Comic sans! It lives on and its out of control.

What's even sadder is that business sometimes are seen using this font as a letterhead! Uhhh it screams unprofessional and its a cry for help.

What's wrong with it you ask? Its retarded. Its too funky and just hard to look at.
Please don't use it. There's a site that actually jocks it. If you want to see it in all its hideous glory click this: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/css/gallery/spec2.htm
What's even more depressing? Look at the link this garbage came from. Aww, Microsoft, you were silly, what were you thinking?

Tangent: Ya, I used to love Microsoft and Internet explorer. I mean, it was way cooler and smarter to use back in the day then Netscape or AOL browsers. Thank God for Firefox. Right?

Back to Comic sans. What kind of name is that? More like Ironic Sans, or toxic sans. I can think of some better ones ;)

O fonts or typefaces if you will. You want your reader to obtain information as easy as possible. Not notice the font first. There are exceptions when you're making something weird. ha.

Just pick up a magazine or something and look at the type. Do it. Notice little things.

O i love typography.

Design

Ya.... I got bored of the blogger templates on here.
Had to make my own real quick.
What do you think about that?

You can say I'm really into CSS!

My typical day at work

Hi,
blogspot is awesome. Why am I here?
Just to share ideas and keep track of things. Also entertainment for you.

Lets get down to business. I used to have a wordpress blog directly on my site.
www.jenruhman.com As cool as it sounds, that does not help me in SEO.

This is a different site that links to my site, which is always a good thing.
Reciprocal links rule. Always remember that.

Ok, back to my typical day.
I start my mornings at 7:00am,
I'm at work by 8:30 in my chair getting my computer booted etc.
Checking my gmail.... reading my horoscope, the headlines a bit. Skim, skim,
wake up.

My job....
Its pretty awesome here!
Its the largest jewelry store in the nation!
How cool is that first of all?

I get to take photos of gorgeous jewelry,
edit the photos, put them on the wholesale site.
Its pretty fun actually.
I see soo much jewelry, especially beads.
I could run laps around isles and isles of beads all day.
