Changes in my life.

As I've been thinking of ways to improve my craft, online shop and jewelry, I am bombarded by thoughts of natural vs. unnatural. (chemicals, toxins etc.) As the new year approaches, I've realized that I want to be healthier, more environmentally friendly and an overall happier person. This affects both my craft and personal life... physically and mentally (spiritually too).

When it comes to jewelry, I'd rather use a lemon/salt solution to clean brass then Brasso. I'd rather use vinegar fumes or heat to darken it rather then highly toxic chemicals. And I've realized I don't want to use cancer causing glue. sigh. Oh, and I read this today too.. I guess it really pushed me over the edge in wanting to be chemical free. It has been on my mind for some time though.

Now, when it comes down to food.. well I'll write more later.

Holiday Giveaway Winners

I just couldn't wait until tomorrow!!

For every item you purchased in November, your name went into a hat, (a Detroit Tigers hat to be more specific), and after vigorous shaking and mixing, my husband pulled out three names.

The winners are:
Flyswims
WhisperedTrees
Admsonart

Hurray! Each of you will be receiving a pair of earrings in the mail.
Enjoy!

Good old Apple.

Finally my computer is back from the shop. I missed it! I've been using my husband's computer - a noisy and hot dell desktop. It actually made the computer room a few degrees warmer then the rest of the house. It got the job done, but I'm glad to have my Apple back.

So, tomorrow I will announce the winners of the Holiday Earring Giveaway. Be sure to check here to find out. If you are a winner, I will contact you via etsy convo and they will be shipped out promptly to ensure enough time for gift giving. (to yourself or a loved one :)
