Today I am polishing my medals...

I am doing a little housekeeping today.  I am busy polishing these tiny medals before I take some photos for my shop. I think that we all deserve a medal for something - don't you?

Be Amazing...

I have been busy working on some new ideas and a new direction with my jewelry. I am a strong believer in how positive affirmations can enhance our lives and decided to make some jewelry that would reflect that.

The first piece that I made had the affirmation BE AMAZING.  I think that we could all benefit by being reminded that it is within our power to be amazing on a daily basis.  When I make a piece of jewelry I usually make a sample piece that I will wear for several days to make sure that it sits correctly, that it is comfortable and also to see if it provokes a reaction.  What was very noticeable was that the  BE AMAZING necklace seemed to promote positive behaviour in the people that I was interacting with. Now I know this sounds very "hocus pocus" and more than a little "woo woo" but I think that when you have a BE AMAZING message beaming out from your chest area people take notice!

I am busy working on several other affirmation pieces and will post more photos soon. 

This is available to buy in my Etsy shop.

Halloween Craft - Not so "Scary Spider"



OK - time for another craft!  I volunteered to come up with a craft for the Halloween party for my daughter's class and it has kind of evolved, and I am now doing the craft for all of 4th Grade!  No pressure then? I am finding that as my daughter is growing up it is getting harder it is to come up with a craft that is not too babyish and also that appeals to boys and girls. After racking my brain this is what I came up with.  I have to say it makes me smile every time I look at it.
