The Countdown Starts...

4...3...2...1... (do you have the 80's song in your head yet?)

I wasn't sure if I would ever make it to 50 sales, much less being 11 sales away from 100, so I decided instead of doing a huge giveaway once I hit 100 sales I would celebrate all the way there.

So I am actually going to celebrate by treating every sale from 90 to 100. Everyone wins something and if you happen to be my 100th sale, you get $25 to spend in my shop!

So here's how it's going to go:

90 - 94th Sale - Customers get a Free Adjustable Ring from my shop/Custom Ring - You and I can work on a design/color of your choice!

All the Tea in China Necklace

95th Sale - 10% Off Entire Purchase - refund taken through Paypal.

98th Sale - 25% Off Entire Purchase - refund taken through Paypal.

99th Sale - One item $18 and under from my shop for Free with purchase!

And for my 100th Sale... I shall be giving away $25 Gift Certificate toward my shop!

So, if you are wanting something to give as a gift to a friend or a loved one, or you want to treat yourself with something from my shop, now is the best time to do so! :-)

My shop!

Art for your fingers! New Ring listed in my shop!

Kiwi Lemon Adjustable Ring

I simply love the bright and beautiful colors that different fruits give and this ring was inspired by my love of such things. I am drawn to nature and color and created this ring during the spring season so both of those things came about naturally in this piece. Its bright color makes for a fun and perfect to piece for summer wear!

The ring has a mahogany Scrabble Tile placed on an Antiqued Brass band. I hand painted abstract art onto the Scrabble tile, which makes for a lovely little canvas to put my art on.

I have had this section in my shop for a while, and added a new piece to my Scrabble Tile Adjustable Rings collection today.

White Lilies ~ Adjustable Ring

For this ring, I decided to see if how pastels would work out and I was pretty happy with the results. The flowers are somewhat abstract, but you can definitely tell they are flowers and I love the muted colors in the background.

I will be adding many more of these to my shop this week and they are just so much fun to make! Do stop by my shop to keep up with the new additions!

A Sail, A Sail...erm...a SALE!

Ok, enough with the nerdy Shakespeare play on words. ;-)

I am having a weekend sale, woohoo!

I went through to see which items are viewed the most and thought I would choose 20 items and mark them at a 20% discount. They are already set price-wise and ready to ship! So get yourself over there and take advantage of the awesome deal I have going on from now until to Monday, July 12th!

Here's one of my items that is on sale.

Forest from the Trees - Tag Etched Art Necklace.

Check out all the other 19 items I have in my sale section! (Sold one already, yesireee!)

I also wanted to announce that I am doing a countdown to 100 sales once I hit my 90th sale (I am now at 86 sales, woohoo!) ...and there will be something special for each customer and the 100th customer will be

receiving a gift certificate for my shop. I will be announcing all the specifics for that very soon, so keep on checking here and on my facebook fan page!

Fan me!

Time for reflection...

Solitude can be such an awesome thing. It really gives me a chance to just think about things going on and there's something about not always speaking out loud every single thought - but examining and taking every thought into captivity and then figuring out where I need to move next. I always treasure these times and I thank God for them.

So I decided to make a treasury that speaks of that sort of pause for reflection:

Here's the link to the treasury:

Material Perspective.

My sister was making the waistband section of her apron last week and we thought it would be fun to take pics of it from different angles. This is the only shot that I was satisfied with after playing around on picnik for a little bit. I love how it has so many contrasting values and I kinda want to go sailing on it...haha. Makes me wish I had made a paper sailing boat to add to this photo.

What's goin' on here?

I was playing around with some of my miniature iron furniture pieces today and decided to shoot some of it. I really ended up liking this one shot a lot, so here it is! My little bear goes nameless and... music-less. :-(

What happened to his gramophone, I wonder? And why is the clock on the ground? :-O!

Shades are covered!

I am so lucky to have two sisters who make such awesome things! I have been needing a new sunglasses cover for the longest time and my younger sis, Kimberly has been stung by the sewing bug and she likes it! I saw this fabric at Joann and so I knew I had to have her make me a sunglass case. I love the extra touches she added to it - all the way down to the button that she picked out! I am pretty sure once she gets more of these that she is going to be adding them to her shop:

I love my sisters! :-D

Keep checking in on Kimberly's shop as she will be adding new things soon!
