Little Blue Peep!

"Stoopid"est thing ever? Or cute overload? You decide! I created this ring yesterday afternoon. What is it? Well... it's a Peeps lollipop ring that I dipped in resin, poured glitter all over, added some purple rhinestones for eyes, and added some green Easter grass garland. I love how it turned out. My hubby thinks it's a bit wacky... and I'll admit it... it's not for everyone- it's a BIG bold ring!

Love it? Hate it?
Let me know and thanks for looking, peeps!

MINT mail!

I've been wanting to buy something from imyourpresent's ETSY shop for soooooooo long now. I finally splurged and got her giant [phallic] ice-cream cone necklace- IN MINT! I was so delighted when it came in the mail today. I put it on right away. When I'm not wearing it it has a new home on my wall... dangling!

Hoppy Easter - Eggcellent Spring Goodies

The Easter holiday is fast-approaching. So I've whipped up a batch of resin goodies just in time for Easter! I will be making a very limited amount of Easter items... so if you see something that you want you better grab it soon! My ETSY shop will have egg-shaped resin necklaces, resin rings, and a few other things. Here is what I currently have available for Easter... enjoy!

Crazy Blue Daisy

Hoppy Easter

White Rabbit

Fresh Fish!

I made a fresh batch of ocean-inspired pendants on Friday! I plan on listing these throughout the day Monday starting at midnight tonight. They will be available in my ETSY shop. These tend to go pretty quickly- so grab them while you can!

RainbowMermaid made me the SWEETEST thing EVER!

I had this lovely idea for a little cabinet full of candy and sweets! I knew I wanted something with lime-green, rainbow colors, glitter, sweets, and a gumball machine and slice of lemon-meringue pie. I knew there was no better person to ask but RainbowMermaid! This girl is a creative and artistic genius! She sent me the photos today of the completed project and a little tear of joy creeped into my eye and I swear- my smile was ear-to-ear! I absolutely adore it! I could just stare at it forever! It's so much more than I could have ever imagined it to be! Please check out her shop on Etsy! She makes such fabulous jewelry!! I have been a huge fan of her work ever since I found ETSY.

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 27th birthday!
YAY! I'm so excited. I've been a hermit all winter and I am really looking forward to going out tonight with my hubby, sister, and BIL. We're going down to Detroit to one of the casinos and having dinner! I think it's going to be a fabulous night... I have a feeling I'm going to hit a biggie on the slots tonight!!! Wish me luck guys!
In other news... at midnight I gave away my first PIF in my ETSY shop! I was feeling generous so I gave away a free print- your choice. I listed it right at midnight and it was gone by 12:01. CONGRATS to moongipsies for snagging my giveaway! She chose the Mint Chocolate Chip Sky print in case you're all wondering what print was chosen.

Pretty Girl Things

Lately I have been inspired by the color pink. I'm in this mode where I want to create pretty girly things! It's so ironic because growing up I was always a tomboy. Now that my 27th bday is approaching on the 23rd I want to feel like a little girl again and I believe that is showing up in my recent work. Here are a couple items from my shop for the pretty little girl in you!

All Dolled Up

Miss World

Under The Sea!

I love all things under-the-sea! I always have and I always will. Maybe it's because I'm a pisces (born 2/23). Maybe it's because I should have been born a fish? Who knows?!? I just love creating jewelry that reflects my love for the ocean. I really put my heart and soul into these creations. Enjoy!

I just finished a custom order for one of my favorite customers on ETSY. She had this wonderful idea of embedding brass seahorses inside resin along with some real miniature seashells and those tiny little marbles for sand. She wanted them in the form of the long, skinny stick pendant. The pendant turned out beautifully. When I showed her photos of the pendant she loved it!

AND GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!! My fish pendants are back! I started selling the fish pendants when I first started casting resin back in the fall of '07. They were a pretty popular item in my shop and for some odd reason I stopped making them. Well.... they are back! I always have so much fun making these!!

Swimmy

And as always... I have two different types of mermaid necklaces available: the blue one (I Wish I Was A Mermaid) and the pink one (Sea Of Love). No two are ever exactly the same. I always love putting these together during the casting. They really truly are like little works of art!

I FEEL LOVE! My wedding video from Las Vegas!

I know this is pretty unrelated to my Etsy and that is what my blog is about.... BUT I really wanted to share this video with you from our July 19th wedding at the Wynn in Las Vegas. My sister, Krystal, edited the video. Enjoy! :O)
I'm also including a video of me getting ready in my hotel room before the big moment... the happiest day of my life! I smile everytime I watch these vids!

I Feel Love!

Mrs. Ripley! Believe It Or Not!
