Yeah... I got a treasury!

I totally love making these collections on etsy! If you are lucky, yours can be picked for the front page! I wish I could just print it out on a T-shirt! I have been trying to figure out how to post this thing the past three times I have had one. Tonight, a brilliant fellow etsian told me how! Woo Hoo!!!!! Now I have to make a fresh mini for the top of my blog page!

Possible Opportunity

Oh... I have to blog a little bit about this today because it "could" be an important date for me.
I have a dear friend on a trip in California to meet and have dinner with someone very cool. I have FedExed her a package to give this very cool person that "could" open a door of opportunity for me. Oooooo, I don't even want to dare think it... anyway... it cost me $35 to send these two special necklaces and it "could" be the best $35 I have ever spent... we'll see... it's in God's hands now... (and the Fed Ex driver!).

And the Winner Is...... !

"Two Bees in a Pod" is the first winner of my blog contest and won this free pair of adorable ivory and seed bead earrings! I decided to make the drawing early and move on with the next one! I'll announce the new contest tomorrow. You can check out her out at http://www.twobeesinapod.etsy.com/ Check back and enter to win the next free gift.... hmmmmm.... what will it be!? It could be for YOU!

I am slam busy today with special orders.... I'll be back tomorrow!

Have a wonderful day! ~

WOO HOO!!!!!!

I am blown away with the blessings God is pouring out upon my business right now! I had a meeting with another store yesterday and they made an order! I'm in another store! I have an appointment with the "sister" store in PTC next Monday and another one in Newnan this Friday.

I have also gotten several etsy sales this week and private requests and orders for my Mother's Day necklace from my personal blog! Now if the UPS can just get my disks here, I can get back on track. I was suppposed to receive and order Friday to make up a collection for the store yesterday. Well, they LOST them. At 7 p.m. on Friday, UPS was STILL trying to tell me they were "scheduled" for delivery that day. The truck had been through the neighborhood hours before... I knew it wasn't happening! Then the same thing happened yesterday and so the company sent out a replacement order yesterday that should be here tomorrow... should being the key word!

So we'll see... I am supposed to get 50 tomorrow and there is already a huge dent in that order... yee haw! I had a handful of disks left from my last order and so I made up "samples" and took them to the store yesterday and it was fine.... whewwww! I also made a contact with a store in Seaside and need to send them samples this week to order from and so now they are already made and ready! It kinda ended up being a blessing. I also sold a smaple right off the table where I met a friend for lunch yesterday!

So I am blessed and thrilled to be having a great month. Thank you Lord!

Spring Time at the Beach!

I usually don't share much about my personal life on this blog... I have a seperate one for that... but I couldn't resist! We just got back from our favorite beach, Seaside, and had a wonderful time! Now that I have had some relaxation, sun and fun... I am back to creating!

I have an appointment with a new store on Monday. I am nervous but excited and hopeful. Then I have another one later that week and I also made a connection in Seaside and am sending the owner some samples and order sheet.... three stores this month would be a very sweet and bountiful blessing! Maybe I could splurge and get my laptop!!!! Wish me luck! :0)

BE REAL

I am a stamping fool! I love making these necklaces! This one is one of my favorite ones to stamp. I think being real is one of the most precious gifts you can give yourself and others! I am also loving this hand I bought at the Vintage Flea for display and my photographs... I love the lines on it and the way it gracefully holds my creations! :0)

I've got several special orders for Mother's Day necklaces! :0) I am also doing graduation necklaces this year... very fun. I was supposed to get an order of disks in today and they didn't arrive!!!!! I am way BUMMED since I have a viewing appoitment with a new store Monday! UGHHHHHH... very angry at the UPS right now! :0(

New Shop Banner

I love to use my photographs as my shop banner. If I could only figure out how to put my shop name on it! :0( I've tried a couple of ways and it never works... so, I have other things to worry about right now! I took this photo last summer in Virginia Beach... I loved the way the yellow popped against the purple... and the texture... PERFECT!

This post also serves as another post to let you know that orders placed between April 5th and 10th will be mailed after April 11th!

I'm off to have some much needed fun and relaxation! Happy Spring Everyone!

Just in time for Mother's Day!

I made this necklace as part of a baby shower gift for a friend and I do love the way it turned out. The two sterling silver disks are hand stamped with names and then oxidized and hand polished. The cluster of beads represent: Pearl- the Lord, two silver - each parent, and the peridot represents life! I have made some of these and they sell before I can get them onto etsy! I've just sold four with clusters in different stones that said "Be Love", "Be Real", "Karma", and "Faith". I have two appointments with two other stores for these and so the ones I am making are reserved. But I decided to post this in case anyone wanted to order one for a mother's day gift for your mom, wife, sister, or grandmother! Just leave a comment with your contact information and I'll get in touch!

One disk necklace- $39 each additional stamped disk- $12 each
