A plethora of newness!

Royal Key Necklace:

Tulip Ring:

and one earring of a pair I'm working on. Yes, just one... I'm doing 

so much at one time, that I can't even show you a completed pair... 

My sister in law bought the vintage merlot bracelet, 

and then requested earrings and necklace to match... here are the earrings:

necklace:

I finished the pair of purple earrings, but not in time to have good light to photograph them.

This necklace wasn't finished in time for great light either, but I wanted to share a preview.

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

...more next year!

New Ring in the Shop:

...made of vintage buttons and yellow sewing thread.

More to come.

Yesterday I ordered Jon and Kate's new book : Multiple Bles8ings, from Amazon.

I am BEYOND excited.

Thanks to Free 2 day shipping, it arrives tomorrow!

... and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I'll be sure to let you guys know how it is once I've poured through and read all of it.

And on Friday look for my first 'Feature Friday' installment. 

I'll be highlighting a different 'handmade artist' every week.

Pictures to share and more. Part 1

I have lots of photos to share. 

So I'll split them up and share some tomorrow as well.

First off McKenzie on Thanksgiving Day.

Her cute sparkly furry boots came off as soon as we arrived...figures.

My clock on the way to Kohl's Friday morning.

Yes I took this while driving. But in fairness I was at a stoplight.

And yes that is 3:50 AM. 

I was at Kohl's at 4am, Walmart at 4:30 or so, Target around 5:15, and then went to a few others and was back home at 8:30.

And no I did not arrive at Kohl's early enough. 

There were hundreds in line to get in, in front of me.  

To top it off when I got there it had begun to pour. 

So it was raining, cold and very early.

And I'd do it all over again, in a heartbeat.

In fact. I'll repeat the same madness next year. 

(planning to add in midnight madness at the outlets as well)

And one of McKenzie with her tree. (More tomorrow)

One completed ring.

One unfinished ring to be.

And my changes in 'packaging' for Christmas time 

for those customers who don't request gift wrap.
