Happy Easter!!

Neglected

My poor blog has been hanging out in the atmosphere just waiting for my visit! Well, here I am! Finally!!

Sorry for my absences all you 13 readers you! Most of you know I have been gone due to being oh so busy! 2010 has been crazy! So far this year I have had shoulder surgery and attended about 20 physical therapy appointments, Ben tore his Achilles, each of my children have missed about 3 days of school due to mysterious ailments...just fevers..., we celebrated 4 birthdays, had a lovely Valentines Day, had 5 girl scouts meetings, sold 149 boxes of cookies, studied for 27 spelling tests, had two soccer practices and three guitar lessons.

So, no new jewelry has been made. Correction, I keep making pieces and end up keeping them. I am currently working on a custom order for someone using sea shells sent to me from Hawaii and hemp twine. I also made some best friends necklaces for my daughter and her friend. So things are good. Still having fun and that's what matters!

I'm off...have a great one...whatever that may be!

Tis'The Season....

Well, even though it is only November the holidays are officially here! The Halloween decorations are still up and probably will stay there for at least a few more days but our minds have already turned to the coming season.
This Sundays paper brought the Toys R Us Wish book and many other store ads all filled with holiday wonder!

I am hoping that this year will be different for many of us. I hope to buy or make many homemade gifts. There are so many Americans struggling this year and we can all help eachother out by buying handmade and made is USA products. Really try extra hard this year to look for items like these.

To help others out there I am offering Layaway in my etsy shop plus free shipping on layway orders. It is so simple to do. Simply pick out which items you would like to purchase in my shop and let me know. I will them take them out of my shop and send you an invoice through pay pal for at lease 20% of the total due. You can then make payments to pay off the balance. How quickly it is paid off is really up to you. You can make a weekly, biweekly or monthly paymenst. Once your balance is paid in full I will send you your items. I will even do holiday gift wrapping free of charge. So, what are you waiting for...get shopping!!
