First things first… Last weeks fundraiser for the Preeclampsia
Foundation was AMAZING! I finally got to meet some of the women that
helped me through the darkest hours of my life after losing my sweet
baby Kelsi. My angel was auctioned off and brought in $1,250 for the
foundation. It was really neat. Of course I cried like a baby when they
read my story and showed pictures of my baby.
I can also finally share this next piece of news. In February, the
director of the PE foundation called and asked if I would be willing to
make a new pin for the Foundation. I am not positive, but I believe
this is the new Preeclampsia Awareness pin. I am trying to get a good
photo of these, and they will be listed on my site for sale shortly.
The price is $12.50 per pin and 100% of the proceeds goes to the PE
foundation.
Here is the jewelry I wore to the fundraiser. The pictures don’t do the necklace justice, but it is SOOOO pretty.
Art Jewelry Magazine
Well, it finally came, the November issue of Art Jewelry. They did a
fantastic job on this issue. I love the layout and everything. I ended
up having 9 full pages in this issue. That is HUGE! They even had to
change the format of the magazine because of my article. HAHAHA, some
people are just born to be troublemakers I guess.
Here is a little ring that I recently made. It is for my 2-year-old. Yes, I know the dangers of little kids with this type of jewelry and we keep a close eye on her when she wears it. She is really funny though. She is such a Girly Girl. She is always wearing some type of jewelry in addition to the two bracelets she wears 24/7. Just today she came into the family room wearing about 5 additional bracelets. It is a lot of fun to have little girls that are into jewelry as much as mom is.
