Mini!!!

The new mini dog tags are here! Ok, they've been here, but I've been too busy to actually use them! Haha.

Here's a comparison of all all the dog tags.

I made up a couple designs but I haven't fully dived into it like I wanted. I will though! There will be a few of them up next month for grabs!

Back to work for me! Need to start getting all the designs worked up and photographed so I can get next month started right!!

Christmas in August?

In an effort to get some supplies out of this house before the move, I'm going to do something fun!

Starting AUG 1 I will put up at least one item a day, hopefully two, on my Facebook page. These items will be priced to move and will be at least half off! Along with that, a new coupon code, for Etsy, will be coming out to celebrate day 365 of my Etsy shop! It'll be a chance to get your holiday shopping done early!

Here are a couple new items that either will or just have come out!

There are going to be a ton of new designs, both pre-made and custom coming out so be sure that you are a fan of the Facebook Page

Back To The Basics

In less than one month, I will have been on Etsy for a year. Can you believe that?!

In celebration of the anniversary and preparation of the move coming up, there will be A TON of items priced to go! I need more room and less to take when I move. Help me help you ;-)

For now though, I'm going to keep working on the holiday stock and getting some beautiful designs made up for you.

I've gotten back to beading a bit and I want to work stamped and beaded together as much as I can. I don't mean just birthstones, I mean full on beaded projects. Here's one I did today:

I absolutely love blue and brown together. I also have a fondness for pink and brown together (shh, don't tell anyone I like pink) and I've put together a few pieces. I'll be making new ones in a while along with a charm bracelet.

Along with the anniversary of the shop, I'm coming up on an anniversary that is the reason for starting the shop in the first place.

In 5 days, I will be at the anniversary of what should have been the due date for my first loss after my son, Noah. That sweet little angel is Avery. On Monday, I will be going to complete my tattoo that I have. I know the summer isn't the greatest time for getting a tattoo, but my connection with my artist is deep and I need her to be the one to complete it. I told her my story of the tattoo and she shared that she too has had the pain of loss. It was fate that she called my name and I will make sure she's the one to help show the world my love for my angels.

I still hurt every day. I hurt from seeing pregnant the women the most, especially those who are to where I never got with even Noah. He was 6 weeks early. I never got to complain of being "too pregnant". I never got to be miserable because I was too quickly consumed with fear of losing him.

My miracle and my angels are why I have this shop. They are my driving force. All of my children are my inspiration behind every piece I create. My Noah is why I get out of bed every day and my angels fill my dreams of them playing with their big brother.

Zodiac Love & Be Aware

I've been playing with using different colors in the items and I've found a great way to start them out. Awareness necklaces! *Other items soon to come*

See the Listing

Another new few things coming out will also include zodiac signs. Like the awareness pieces, these can only be on aluminum. This is because the aluminum is easier stamped and will support the design stamp.

Check out the other new designs added to the shop!!

All in The Family Necklace
Copper Swirl Necklace
I Shoot People Necklace
Pet ID Tag

Soon to come:

Copper Locket Necklace
Mini Swirl Necklace
Mini Dog Tag Necklace & Bracelet
ID Bracelets
Lucky Penny Necklace

Lets Get Bakin!

How crazy would that be? Stop on in and get stamped metals and baked goods!

Just kidding. I'm actually baking aluminum! This great trick was taught to me by one of my suppliers and she said that if you bake aluminum at 260 for one hour it will make the color permanent! And it worked!

So, with all that said, I'm here to show off some awesome permanent designs:

Ok, I know the key isn't really new, but the meaning on it is. This one was made to represent myself and my husband.

For Him. For Her

After seeing how many necklace cards I'd have to make to keep up with how many necklaces go out I knew I couldn't do them ALL by hand.

So, my way of solving that was to order some amazing necklace cards from a wonderful Etsy seller HomegrownGems. They are a bit girly, so I've decided to have His & Her necklace cards. His will be the plain brown with my shop name at the bottom and hers will be the new cards!

Tomorrow may be the 4th of July, but it's a work day for me! The Mr will be home for the first time and have nothing to do, besides his Honey Do list that's accumulated during his school time. Haha. I'll get to put my focus and energy into a couple nice sided orders and a couple singleton orders.

Hope everyone stays safe over the holiday weekend!
