Happy Holidays!

I am going to use my holiday break to continue to work on my jewelry line. I want to have pieces available for purchase by the beginning of February. I am of course creating unique pieces and devising my marketing plan. I pray a wonderful, loving Christmas day for all and a joyous and blessed 2011.

Thank God I was introduced to this site...

So I stopped by NaturalChica today as I so often do and she had up a post about a Thank God I'm Natural Give Away. Of course my curiousity got the best of me so I clicked on the link to check out the website and I am so glad I did! I found a Thank God I'm Natural fitted tee in Pink and Green! Get this, it's budget friendly, only $20 plus $4 shipping and handling. I will definitely be ordering one (maybe 2) of those shirts this Friday! Can't wait!!!

Check out Thank God I'm Natural site and store, TGIN <-click here. You will find so much more and the shirt comes in several different colors including the classic, chic black and white. Here's the super cute shirt I will be purchasing! cutetee

unexpected loss

I have realized that what the "old" people used to say is true, you never know when it's your time to die...

let your loved ones know you love them while you can.
enjoy your life no matter your situation.
let that hurt and anger go.
forgive.
believe God is REAL.

What's a Woman to do?

Ok...seems as though I have a fan...not a cool, supporter type of fan...but the seemingly crazy kind that wants to do what I do. She wants to be an AKA which is probably the main reason she has tried to befriend me. I can read people and that will get her no where with me...This person has gone so far as to tell someone that they stayed up all night making a special bracelet for them when in actuality I MADE THAT BRACELET...I really believe this grown woman has been purchasing my jewelry and selling it to other people as her own. She all of a sudden makes jewelry...ugh. It disgusts me and turns my stomach thinking about how she has been acting lately.

I just had to vent.

In other news, business is still great! I am gearing up for a Breast Cancer Walk/Run to raise money for a single parent mother with two young sons.

I have been receiving special orders left and right from my Pink For Barbara collection! Super excited about what's to come and how this will help other women in their fight. I make everything from earrings to neckalces to bracelets to keychains.

Lord, thank you for this talent. I owe it all to you.

Let me get back to work....

Pink For Barbara

Pink For Barbara is the name of my collection (apart of my jewelry line which is coming soon) that is in honor of my grandmother. IT HAS BEEN GOING WELL! Praise God. I have received much support and donations. Since Breast Cancer Awareness month's official ribbon color is pink, everything in my collection is of course pink.

I also made a pledge to myself to wear something pink every day this month. Since it was my mom's mother who passed I got her on board to wear pink every day too. This should be fun...you'd think that with me being an AKA I'd have tons of pink but that seems to be soooo not the case.

Peace and Love.

Praying for a CURE

Today is the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness month. In honor of my grandmothers, aunt(Barbara,R.I.P. and Wanda who is a survivor and Aunt Rose who is a survivor) and countless other women who have dealt with this disease, I created a line of handcrafted jewelry (made by me) that I will be selling throughtout the month. A percentage of all sales will go towards research and support with the SistersNetwork Inc. and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I am extremely excited yet nervous about putting my designs out there to the public.

In other news, I went ahead and did a mini big chop! I was going to wait until I had went a whole year without a relaxer but chopping about 3 months early won't hurt! :)

pictures to come soon. Since I cut my own hair I need to have it tweaked by a professional. I can't keep my hands out of it!!!
