I like making jewelry!!!

A few weeks ago, I was approached to make a set of jewelry for a friend of mine who is a bridesmaid this coming weekend.  I said of course and we began discussing what she wanted the look and feel of the jewelry to be.  My friend got her order in the mail earlier this week and said she was in love with everything so I thought I would share a few quick pics with you all here (the pictures are from my phone so they are a little fuzzy sometimes but I had to share because I had so much fun making it all).

The wedding colors are purple, black, and pearl.  The bridesmaids are wearing black gowns (its an evening wedding) so we ended up with designs that focused on the lighter colors for some accent pop.

For more info on custom orders or to check out my ready made designs, visit my Etsy shop at snsnsnsibility.etsy.com or click on the the shop link on the right!  Or send me an email (snsandsnsibility{at}gmail.com)!

Have a beautiful weekend, everyone!

8th Deal til Christmas

It is a rainy, cold, lovely weekend!  It has not gotten above 65 degrees in the last three days and it has been rather wonderful!  Now, some people would read those first two sentences and stop and look at me and get ready to call in a national emergency.  You see, I have a very low cold tolerance (I guess growing up in Hawaii thinned my blood a lot) and everyone knows it.  In college, I was rather humorous I think because I would rarely ever wear less than three layers in Southern California's mild winters which rarely get below 60 during the day.

The hubby and I went to Disneyland this two nights ago to see the decorations and everything.  And it was totally worth the crowds and the cold!!!  The pictures turned out well!  And you get to see the first outfit pic of mine that I've expressly taken for the purpose of use on this blog.  =)

It was a pretty fun night but by the end of it, I really couldn't feel my fingers.  =P  

Today's Deal til Christmas is the last in my necklace series and you get 25% off the Ocean Avenue Necklace with Coral, Peridot, and Smoky Quartz!  I love this color combo with some of the great camel and neutral colored items that are popular this winter.  I hope you like it!

Have a beautiful day!!!

9th Deal til Christmas

We are getting so close!!!  And even closer, is the realization (for the fourth or fifth time this week) that I need to get my act together because I get to go home to Hawaii for Christmas!!!  And I am really excited to see my family and spend time with them before my brother ships out with the Army and life gets chaotic again.

My family at my brother's commissioning as a second lieutenant in May.  So proud! =)

But on to the important stuff!  Today's Deal til Christmas is 25% off of another necklace - this time it is Ocean Avenue Necklace with Coral and Pearls!  This style has quickly become one of my best selling pieces.  I love them for how easy to wear they are!  And the colors can match so many different outfits!  I hope you like it!

Have a beautiful day, everyone!

12th Deal til Christmas

I can hardly believe we only have 12 days until Christmas!!!  And to get in the mood, I pulled this picture out from last year!

me and my bestie in December of 2009 at Disneyland!

Along with all kinds of wonderful goodies to be planned, I have the immense honor of being able to provide gifts for others!  There is something that makes me so full of joy that I get to hand make jewelry that is going to give joy in so many different homes this Christmas!  If you have never handmade gifts for anyone, you are missing out on some amazing experiences!  But I know not everyone is equally gifted in this area and that is part of why I LOVE Etsy and other handmade outlets.  I can make jewelry but I cannot make things like this or this or this or this.  So even though I could try, I know my attempts would not be anywhere near as wonderful as these artists!  But supporting them and getting great gifts?  Now that is a joyful thing!  =)

But on to today's deal!  The 12th Deal til Christmas is 25% off Nancy Necklaces!  Although I designed these with bridal parties in mind, I think they are really cute for more than one kind of occasion. So for a classic design for many occasions, I think these necklaces are great.  And you can get them for 25% off today only!

Have a beautiful day!

15th Deal til Christmas

I got to go to the Gem Faire yesterday!!!  That may not sound like much to anyone who doesn't know the joys of handmaking things but think of a large building filled to the brim with vendors who have tables and tables chock full of everything you could ever possibly want for making jewelry!  Even if you aren't a jewelry maker, it is such a fun experience because your eyes are mesmerized by the glitter and sparkle of crystal, semi-precious gems, sterling silver, gold, and other similar girl eye-candy.  =p  There are premade items and loose stones so you can decide how much work you want to put into it!  And since it travels, there is a good chance that you will be able to find one relatively close to you!  But suffice to say that I bought several goodies that I am super excited to get turned into jewelry to share with you!!!  =)  But on to important things!

Today's Deal til Christmas is a chance for you to finish your Christmas shopping in one stop. I am offering my readers 15% off the entire store for this weekend only. Enter coupon code "SENSIBLESALE15" to receive your discount on your purchase.
