TGIF!

I actually only went to work for 2 days this week, but it sure felt like 2 weeks! So glad it's Friday night, and being a mom of school-aged kids, I'm not outbound tonight. All good though! It's my crafty Friday! Slowly getting entries in for the February Giveaway! (If you haven't entered, just check out the Promos and Giveaways section)

Did you know February is amethyst month? Going to roll out some purples tonight! Amethyst stands for stability, intuition and peace. Ooh and it's the month of l'amour! Have you seen some of my V-day pieces?

Love me Tender

Hello 2011! Sorry I'm late!

So January is nearly over and I've barely recovered from 2010. I have a perfectly good explanation! Honest! But who really cares about that? I'm here to talk about my grand plan for 2011!

For starters, beginning this February, there will be monthly promos and giveaways hosted by yours truly, featuring items from my shop. Early entries are being accepted--check out Promos and Giveaways section for details.

Also, I'm adding new sections to this blog--so stay posted for those. I figured, since my life is rarely a straight arrow, I might as well take all of you along my vast meanderings as a jewelry maker, mother, wife, sister and thoroughly obsessed reader.

For now, Happy New Year!

Yuba City Cultural Festival

Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and see us at the Annual Yuba City Cultural Festival. For my very first craft fair, I think it went well!

Look at what I found!

Although my plain, black canvas covered journal is perfect for me, I look at these, ever so longingly..

Winner of the Desiree Necklace in Peridot - Jaya of Green Trunk Designs

The OM Ring

New, in my shop: The OM Ring 

The OM is the symbol of the absolute, representing Brahman in the Hindu religion. Although it symbolizes the most profound aspect of Hinduism, it is a symbol that is also used in daily life.

The OM provides a dualistic viewpoint. It takes you beyond the immediate to what is abstract and inexpressible yet it makes the absolute more tangible and comprehensive. It's everything that is possible and probable.. that was, is, or can be.
The OM is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma, when combined, makes the "OM" sound. It is the simplest mantra, and when repeated with the right intonation, it can resonate throughout your whole body, to your soul, taking you to a deep level of transcendence.

Blog Giveaway Winner!!

Congratulations to Jaya of GreenTrunkDesigns! The new owner of my Desiree Necklace.

On the Hunt for Suppliers!

Trying to find beading and jewelry suppliers! Ugh! So tired of searching the internet like I've got nothing better to do! You know the usual, more popular sites: FireMountainGems, Shipwreck, Goodybeads, and on and on, those that advertise all over the place -- they get their stuff somewhere, but where?? I seriously live nowhere near a good local store, and the ones that are within an hour drive hike up their prices so high, I mean, if I was to do a pricing calculator, I'd have to double up my jewelry retail prices--and no way am I going to do that. And then there are those suppliers I found on Etsy, I like most of them, but selections are limited!!

Anyone know of good wholesale suppliers?
