Thank you to everyone who came by my booth at Turn Up the Volume run/walk this past weekend in Indianapolis for Ovar'Coming Together! I was able to donate $51 from the sales at the booth to the organization who helped my mother through her struggle with ovarian cancer. I know it's not much, but I am so proud and happy to be able to contribute even a little to support those facing the disease.
I don't claim to be a professional jewelry maker, but I am dedicated to this cause. I try every day to honor my mother's memory and give back to those who share her struggle. Again, thank you to those who stopped to look, chat or buy at my booth! I hope to be back next year!
One more big thank you to everyone who visited me at both Strides for Hope in Columbus and Turn Up the Volume in Indianapolis. Several family members came out to see me in Indy and do the run/walk! It's so great to have others honor my mother's memory as well.

I have awesome friends!
I almost forgot! A friend of mine has made a crocheted hat pattern and half of the price is being donated toward ovarian cancer research. If you crochet (or as my brother calls it "crotch-ett") or know someone who does, I highly encourage you to check it out and even purchase it. Yay for awesome friends!

New pieces
I know I haven't posted on here in a few days. I promise I didn't forget about it!
I did take a couple of days off jewelry making to give myself a chance to breathe after the run/walk on the 11th. I made a few pieces while I was out of town for work this past week. I took a quick inventory after selling quite a few pieces at the run/walk. I hadn't met my goal for how many I wanted made, so I figured up how many I need to make to be comfortable for the run/walk coming up on the 24th. I also realized I was scraping the bottom of my materials, so I replenished.
I made four bracelets, two necklaces, one lanyard, three clip on earrings (interchangeable), two pierced earrings (interchangeable) and two keychains.
I can't wait! This is the run/walk that started it all and I am so proud to be supporting the organization that provided my mom with so much support when she was going through her ovarian cancer. I hope that my jewelry can bring a little happiness to those affected by the disease and raise awareness. If you are in town in Indy on the 24th, please feel free to stop by my booth at the City Market. I'll be there all morning!

A big thank you!
Thank you to everyone who came by my booth at the Strides for Hope in Columbus for the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Ohio! I was able to donate $75 from the sales at the booth, plus $55 from sales I made since my last run/walk, for a total of $130 donated to the OCAO. I know it's not much, but I am so proud and happy to be able to contribute even a little to support those facing the disease.
I don't claim to be a professional jewelry maker, but I am dedicated to this cause. I try every day to honor my mother's memory and give back to those who share her struggle. Again, thank you to those who stopped to look, chat or buy at my booth! I hope to be back next year!

Lots of work done!
I've gotten quite a bit accomplished over the last couple of days. My sister helped me make a few of the pieces, so a thank you shout-out to Sara! :D
We made one eyeglasses chain, two book thongs, two ankle bracelets, three bracelets, one pair of clip on earrings (interchangeable), three pairs of pierced earrings (interchangeable), one cell phone charm (I had been done with those, but I found myself with a rogue bead strand that really wouldn't have worked as anything else) and three necklaces.
Also, after my bead-a-palooza, I am down to 15 pieces left to do by Sunday. It should be no problem. :)

Movin right along
I only made 2 pieces today, but I finished some merchandise placards, which is a big part of things needing to be done.
I made 1 bracelet, 1 pair of pierced earrings (interchangeable)

Wear Teal Day
I wore teal today for "Wear Teal Day," the second day of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. I hope you did, too! If you had some of my jewelry, you could have. ;)
Anyway, enough shameless self-promotion. Knowing that it is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month just made me realize how few days I had left to reach my goal of 80 additional pieces (of which I had already done 40), so I got to work on it. I finished 9 more pieces, which leaves 31 pieces in 9 days before the first of my two run/walks this year. I can do it...and even if I can't, I will have plenty. :) No worries.
I made three bracelets (one potentially an ankle bracelet), one keychain, two clip on earrings (interchangeable), two pierced earrings (interchangeable), one book thong.
