I have been going crazy brainstorming on ideas on new pendant designs.  The thing I love about these is they are all my design – I make the graphics myself and then make the pendants.  It just makes me happy.  So here we go, the new cutie charm necklaces, yay!  The first cutie charm is the Elephant…

Lucky Girl Elephant Necklace I love this little elephant.  I drew him with his cute little tail and curvy trunk.

The next is the Sweetie Tweetie bird necklace.  Her eyelashes didn’t come out exactly perfect, but I really like how she looks with the enamel.  I did this one in white and turquoise, I like the spring colors .

And last but definitely NOT least – the Cutie Hootie necklace.  Owls.  Everyone loves owls.  This one has a bit of color enameled onto his tummy.  So cute (if I do say so myself)!!

So that’s what’s new with me.  I was hoping to have some templates for release tomorrow at DHD, but I’ve been derailed by the NFL draft.  At least that’s what I’m going to tell myself.  Gordon has to work the draft this weekend, so I have to buckle down with kiddos.  Fun

Okay, I’ve been going a little crazy lately working on some necklace/pendant designs for my Etsy store…

First, I have an addition to my monogram necklace collection, the Itty Bitty Letter Monogram Necklace.  These are the smallest of the monogram necklaces and I think would be cute layered with other necklaces.  Or nice to add a little letter charm to a Mother’s necklace for a nice Mother’s Day gift

And then there’s Graduation coming up.  High school, college and all other schools will be finishing for the summer and some of those students will be finishing up their careers at those institutions.  I’ve designed this little charm to give to the graduate in your life – whether it’s yourself, a friend or family member  I have two styles available, this lovely script version…

or this type version…

Sometimes the pendants that I’ve been making curl up on the edges while being fired.

And that makes this one of my favorite parts of making jewelry…

You just take a hammer to it -

And flatten it.

If I tried to do that when I’m designing (like I wish I could sometimes), I would ruin a lot of computers…

Chrystal! Thanks so much everyone for entering – and the compliments that you left, I appreciate it!

Hey Everyone!

I am so excited about this new necklace in my shop that I’ve decided to give one away to a lucky blog commenter!  Anyways, the necklace is a sweet little personalized monogram necklace – I think you’ll love it!  Perfect for everyday wearing, it makes  a great gift for a friend, relative or yourself!

Each necklace is made by me, and they aren’t done with a particular mold so there will be differences particularly with the edges of the pieces – they are so fun to make!  These are made from custom made stamps that I designed myself and made myself actually, with a little help from a custom rubber stamp company.  I have a few more designs that I will be debuting in the shop later this week too

So, what’s the giveaway?  Well, leave a comment here in my comments section and let me know how you found my blog, that’s all I need!  I will leave comments open until 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, March 22, 2010 and on Tuesday I will randomly pick a winner!  The winner will get their choice of letter on their very own One Little Letter Necklace   Please note that comments are moderated, so if yours doesn’t show up right away, don’t freak out – I just have to approve it and as long as you’re not spamming me, I will approve it

It’s probably been about a year since my blog went down and I decided to just let it go.  I miss it and so I’m bringing it back to life.  I’m working on the design – not sure I like this one but it might last for a little while depending on my thoughts and ideas on this.  I am a terrible web-coder and have no skills in the matter, but I am tying to poke around and make some changes.  I wish I knew how to make a blog from scratch but I don’t so I am working with a template and trying to customize it – fun times

Anyways!  I wanted to say hi to everyone again and hopefully you will follow me in your blog reader or however you read your blog.  I’ll be talking about life stuff, my digital scrapbooking stuff, my jewelry stuff and any other stuff I come across

Right now I’m going to add links to my sidebar there and hopefully I can remember the sites I like to visit
