oops!

Does anyone know a Mike that loves GOD and would wear a necklace?


I had a custom request for a men's necklace. It came out beautifully. I was very happy with it. I went to double check the order and print the shipping label, and realized I used the wrong font.


So now I have this pendant



If anyone knows a Mike that would love this Let me know, I would like to offer it out for the cost of the chain and shipping, $10. I would hate to melt it down to recycle the silver.

In the press, and happy birthday to me :o)

I was contacted by Michelle She wrote an article about St Patrick's Day Jewelry that was published by the Chicago Sun-Times. Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/cm4l3c.
Thanks again Michelle!

I decided in honor of my 3oth birthday to treat myself to something pretty. I bought these gorgeous little earrings from Jamie of bellabijoujewellery. This is my very favorite color! i can't wait to get them!!!



I think I'm going to have to get these for Christmas! Just yummy!!!
Stop by and Check out Jamie's shop for other gorgeous goodies!

Back on my feet...or foot!

I'm finally getting back to a normal pace, and playing catch up now...I broke my toe early last week, and then managed to get really sick.
Thank goodness the kids are on spring break! It doesn't take much to get backed up on everything.
I've been living at my work bench the last couple of nights trying to get orders done and shipped.

Hope everyone is having a lovely week! Enjoy Spring!

Ouch!!!

Well it never fails, when ever I get super busy and start to get over whelmed something else happens!

Last night my husband and I were playing around. I was chasing him down the hall and Bam! I whacked my foot on to the child safety gate....I'm pretty sure I broke two toes. SIGH I think it must be God way of saying let go, trust in me and it will all get done.

Or maybe it was Gods way of saying stop playing with your new stamps and get back to work!

I put off adding new design in to my shop with my new font until I get caught back up...but if you've already placed an order and would like to swap the font for the new one just let me know :o)

New font!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My new font should be here any minute now!! I am like a kid waiting by the window for the ups truck to drive up my street.

You can be sure I will drop what I'm doing and rip the package open :o)

Any one want to volunteer to be the first to have something stamped with it? I'm thinking an initial necklace for about $18 send me an e-mail!
