Gemalicious Beads: Tis the season ~ for our ginormous giveaway of beads!

EtsyBlogger Featured Member - BFBeads

As I am sure you are aware by now, every month a different team member from the EtsyBloggers street team is selected to be the featured member and their prize is that we all blog about them! How totally cool is that? Anyway, October's featured blogger is Jen from BFBeads (that's baby friendly, by the way) and Mama's Magic Studio.

Jen has some really awesome baby friendly jewelry. And believe me, its hard to wear jewelry when you have a curious little one tugging at you with the fear of those pudgy little hands snapping your necklace and tiny beads going flying everywhere! Oy! What a disaster! Well, thanks to Jen, not only can you wear stylish and pretty jewelry, but you can let your little one tug on it all they want (so long as they aren't hurting you) without fear of it breaking. Take a look at some of these stunning necklaces:



So, check her out! Oh, and by the way, Jen featured me on her blog last October! http://mamasmagic.blogspot.com/2007/10/friday-feature-madebymelissa.html

Happy Shopping!

Luck Be A Lady Jewelry Set

Hello Again!

I would like to promote my set of dice jewelry - these items are one of a kind and will never be made again. I have never seen these beads in the store since I bought them two years ago!!

The necklace and bracelet are double stranded and have a lobster claw clasp. The earrings have 4 dice each and are accented with silver spacers. There is even a 6 inch bracelet made on elastic stretchy cord for the little lady in your life.

Just click on the images below to go to the Etsy listing:

If you buy two or more of the dice set and mention this blog in the notes to seller, I will give you 10% off your order. If you buy anything else from my shop and mention this blog, I will give you free shipping. Just wait for a revised PayPal invoice before paying! (Please be sure to wait for a revised invoice, I will not refund you once you have already paid).

Thanks and Happy Shopping!!

Help Me Reach My Goal

I have a new goal now that my work schedule has been altered. Its actually a two part goal, one that I can handle myself and one that I need help from all of you on.

Part 1 - list at least one new item in my shop every day

Part 2 - sell at least one item every day

This goal began last week when my OB told me I couldn't go to work anymore and will continue to exist until I return to work after the baby, of course that first week or two with the baby home, I'll take it a little easy on myself!

So, PLEASE help me out with part 2 and visit http://madebymelissa.etsy.com

New Items and a personal note

Hello!

I'll start off with the personal note - now that my doctor has put me on "limited activity" until the baby is born (4 weeks from now!!!) I'll most likely be making and listing lots more stuff, hence this blog will be lots more active!

These two items are a response to a EtsyKids craft challenge - the theme was beach/island and the goal was to make something from your current stash. Here's what I came up with:





And while I was going through my beads, these gorgeous pink crystal beads were just begging me to make them into something. So, I made them into two somethings! An adorable Mommy & Me bracelet set.



Just click on the images to go to the listing at Etsy.com!

And just for laughs, here is what my little pup was doing while I was hard at work!


Happy shopping!! :-D
