Thank you everyone for signing up for Octoberfest! It means so much to me, and I'm honored and excited each one of you joined in to be a part of the Third Annual Octoberfest blog hop. I look forward to our wonderful autumn celebration!

Toltec Jewels is an author by day, jewelry maker by night. Her literary work is housed by the San Francisco MOMA and is published internationally in popular magazines, literary quarterlies, and university publications. She has won a number of awards for both her literary and jewelry arts. She is happiest making handcrafted jewelry with her entire family, snuggling with her Chihuahua Pancho,  Aussie Lila, Malamute Holly, and her grandkids, sewing, singing, reading, and learning more jewelry techniques. She is the hostess of JSF, a diverse community of expert and emerging artisans taking inspiration from each other and jewelry arts. Join her for networking, fundraising for Beads of Courage, jewelry making challenges, blog hops, contests, give-a-ways and of course, cool beads and jewelry!
