Doors and windows

A door has closed, but a window has opened.

Unless something earth-shattering happens, I won't be doing Indianapolis's run/walk event for Ovar'Coming Together. I will always be grateful to their organization for everything they did for my mom during her illness, but it was time to go our separate ways. They gave me my start in vendorship, but now that door has closed. However, thanks to the confidence and experience I gained, windows have opened to expand into other organizations, most recently to the event in Cincinnati.

So, this means that my events this year will include OCAO on 9/8 in Columbus (the morning after a family wedding...what am I thinking??? Lol) and OCAGC on 9/21 in Cincinnati. I'd like to say that I've been busy doing beading, inventory and the like, but unfortunately that's not true. I've been slacking, and just yesterday figured up how many pieces I would need before the OCAO event (which is only 55 days from now. Eep) and went on a beading frenzy to get some made. I think I'm going to do some tonight as well to help things along. Luckily I only need 30 pieces and I made six yesterday. I'll try to make four more today so I'll be a third of the way done. Getting excited!

All jewelry pieces pictured on blog posts dated on or after June 23, 2012 are available for order. Every jewelry piece is hand-crafted and no two pieces are exactly the same. Custom orders are accepted. Prices are negotiable--50% of the proceeds is used to buy more jewelry making materials and 50% is donated to an ovarian cancer organization. Email me at janinemkr@gmail.com for order requests! RIP Rita Ann 7/1/2001
