I look forward to working with you to make your special day a little more special.

MORE new items for 2012!

I've decided that my goal for 2012 is to provide the bridal party jewelry for at least TWO bridal parties!  So on that end, I am offering an incentive.  The first two brides who place their orders with me for their bridal party will get a special discount!  Yup, that's right.  A bigger discount than I usually offer on orders of multiples.  So if you know anyone who's getting married and are looking for bridal party gifts, please send them my way!  Oh and for all you Brides out there...if you are planning on ordering, please make sure you order at least 3 WEEKS before your big day to ensure timely delivery.

Oops, I did it again!

It would seem that I've completely forgotten to update my blog...again.  *sheepish grin*  My bad.  

So my last post was regarding the giveaway I had in honor of my birthday.  It ran for a week and ended on my birthday of August 22nd. The winner of that little contest was Kris Schwind!  Congratulations!  Her entry was about her homemade ice cream cake and let me tell you...it sounded soooo yummy!  If it wasn't such a pain to ship frozens, I would have asked for a cake sample! :)  Many thanks too to everyone who entered and to all who voted!  I am truly grateful to have the support of so many wonderful people.

In the meantime, while it's been a while since I've posted anything new, it's not because I haven't made anything, but rather because I have soo many ideas running through my brain that I don't know where to start!  I have so many friends getting engaged and having weddings that I've been focusing a lot on bridal jewelry.  I even had dreams about making bridal jewelry yesterday nite.  Woke up with a headache and an urge to grab my sketch book and get them all down before I forgot.  So please bare with me as I slowly but surely get photos of everything and get them posted. 

I'm also starting to gather the materials needed to make my popular holiday items like my handpainted Swarovski snowmen earrings and Swarovski Christmas tree earrings.  I want to get some ready for the up-coming holiday season so I won't get too swamped.  Remember, I only make a limited amount of these sparklies every year so get your order in as soon as I post them for sale!
