Hi Everyone!

I know I have been MIA for a very long time but I've been really busy...haven't had time to do much beading or paper crafting.  I just signed up for a class that starts next week AND I'll be doing the single parent thing for the next 6 months while my husband is off on his deployment.  This should really test my time management and sanity! :O)

I would like to clear out some items in my shop so for this Memorial Day weekend, I am offering 25% off any purchase of $15 or more from my Simply Shop|323 Shop.  The special code can ONLY be used ONCE.  So please make a list and get to shopping using code:  25OFF.

So why not cop up this awesome hand made Ava Blossom handbags by Dani Boutique

This would look super cute for this summer!!!

Well off to take care of little guy...Happy Shopping!

New Just For You!

It's been pretty hard working full time and being single parent while the hubster is gone; but when my little one is fast asleep and I've got a few moments to myself, I was able to complete some pieces...they're simple and stylish.

Hope you enjoy!


Measuring 1.5 inches and very light are these crackle glass beads that are different in shapes and size which gives it a beach like ambiance.  Dangles from hand wired earhooks and twisted circular rings.

Spring Crackle Silver Earrings

Measuring 1.5 inches are faceted roundel beads of violet and maroon which dangles from hand made silver ear hooks.

These are great for your casual outfit or that Little Black Dress!

Sweet Plum Earrings

Stop by my shop to get these beauties!

Happy 2013!!

It's been a long time since I posted, but being a full-time working mom & wife I am seeing how difficult it is to get anything done, good thing my job in the military taught me how to multi-task!  But it does take its toll on you.

I have (miraculously) been able to create some jewelry and sell some in the process...these are my latest additions and hopefully these will find a good home with a lucky lady!

Always HOPE charmed Necklace on Gray Cotton Cord

Hope is the emotional state which promotes the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. 

A pewter .5 inches tall Hope charm, accentuated with blue round glass bead dangles from a grey cotton cord.

The color blue can mean a myriad of things, but in this case it can represent awareness to many causes such as colon cancer, child abuse, bullying and human trafficking...whatever the cause this is in "Hope" to draw awareness and support.

Measures 9.5 inches in length with a silver lobster clasp closure.

Give a gift of awareness!

Silver Dollar Silk Ribbon Necklace

Seaside, shores, sandy beaches...this simple silver dollar silk ribbon necklace offers a delicate and simplistic look for the upcoming warm months.

Measures 15 inches in length and is adjustable just by tying the closure to your desired length.

Silver pewter silver dollar pendant adorned by smooth silver round beads,Swarovski Briolette Pendant Crystal & 2 pink and opal XILION Pendants.

Happy Shopping and a wonderful beginning to 2013!

Do you print postage from your PC?

For the past year I've been utilizing stamps.com to ship my items whether from eBay or from my personal & etsy shops.  I find VERY convenient when the orders are small, it saves much unnecessary trips to the post office and standing in long lines.  Even printing my stamps save time, now stamps.com allows you to print stamps right on the envelopes..something I have yet to try.

I was introduced to the website via a free CD-ROM.  I viewed the video, signed up and simply downloaded the program and they sent me a scale, some supplies, and free postage and I was allowed to try the program for free for a month.  If I liked it, I paid the monthly fee, if not, then cancel before the 4 week period ended.  Now if you're interested you too can get $100 Bonus offer.  Just for trying you get $45 in postage, digital scale (all you pay is the S&H) and $5 supply kit!

Just visit www.stamps.com/tell and enter this PROMO CODE:  C-9K7C-ZY9


Give it a try!

Another BOFRIDAY!

I'm slowly getting back into things, finally got a routine down here but I just need to find the time to start crafting again!

With a 3-day weekend, I should hope so, but in the interim I wanted to share some items from current crafters this weekend....hope you stop by their shop and find something you like!

Happy Friday!

Blastoff Friday #4

Hello all, it has been several months since I've posted and that's mainly because of a new assignment.  I left North Carolina and moved to Hawaii...not a bad gig huh?  I'll be here for the next 3 years and I will be retiring from the military!

So I don't have much to blog on because I haven't been able to craft anything since having my son 6 months ago; he's been keeping me busy ... don't know when I'll be able to sneak a craft project in... but I wanted to share some items from some Etsy team members, give them a gander and hey...maybe you'll be interested in making a purchase!

A Party Studio- Personalized pink and yellow chocolate bar wrappers make adorable party favors!
