Boy do I love getting diamonds in the mail :)

What a great find in my mailbox today!  I got diamonds :)  And of course, the minute they came in I had to start playing around with them figuring out what I wanted to make.

I made three different pendants tonight.  None are listed yet on Etsy but I've put previews up on Facebook.  And I'll share them here too :)

Here is the first one
And the second one
And the final one :)

Happy Anniversary to me & my hubby :)

Today has been a wonderful day spent just the way it should be...with my hubby!  :)  We celebrated our 1 year anniversary today.  Hard to believe that last year today we were standing on Smather's Beach in Key West, FL saying our vows with our girls standing beside us.  It was an amazing day, a perfect wedding in my opinion.  :)

Any my hubby surprised me with a couple wonderful gifts.  He got me the most adorable Mickey and Minnie Mouse sculpture in wedding attire. (We were on a Disney Cruise when we got married) And an absolutely beautiful pair of Fenton glass earrings with dragonflies painted on them.  Still wearing them...I just love them!

Here is my Mickey and Minnie :)
Then this evening we took the girls over to my folks and thanks to them we got take out from the Aquarium Lounge here in Fairmont.  We thought it would be night to have a quite dinner at home.  And it was...it really, really was :)  (Sometimes as a parent you forget how nice it is to have dinner at home with out all the laughing, screaming, or saying eat your dinner over and over lol)

It was a great day.  And hopefully, we will  have many, many more to celebrate together.  :)

Busy with a capital B!

Shipments of supplies in = me making lots of new things!  And between things to do with my girls and my hubby and now making new things means I am busy with a capital B!!!

I've made quite a few new pieces in time for Valentine's Day...and sold quite a few too.  Here are the recent additions to the Etsy shop:
This stunning pendant is  "Fever". It is a long glass tube vial filled with over 1 carat genuine rough bright yellow diamonds with a red round cut diamond that stays stationary in it. So packed with diamonds that they don't move around much at all. The pendant is reversible, you can either wear it to show the red diamond or on the other side you only see the yellow rough diamonds. You'll can get a different look out of it each time you wear it. Such a beautiful pendant and so unique. You are going to be more than happy making these a part of your jewelry collection! If you are a lover of all things unique and one of a kind, something like no one else will ever have, then this is for you!! These pendants are hard to photograph because of the glass but the red diamond in here is bright and deep in color. The contrast between the red and the yellow is just spectacular! You'll love it!!   http://www.etsy.com/listing/92052374/captured-love-fever-genuine-red-round
And this beautiful pendant (one of my all time favorites) is  "Perfect". It is a long glass tube vial filled with over 2 carats of bright, rough mixed white diamonds and a .15 carat genuine light pink radiant cut diamond. And just to note, my scale weighs light, so the rough diamonds most likely weigh much more than what my scale says. This pendant is sealed and cannot be opened. The bail on this pendant is 925 sterling silver. It hangs beautifully, and is reversible...the other side is open just like the front with the pink diamond but you'll only see the white rough diamonds. The pink diamond does not move as the rough diamonds are tightly packed in there to hold it in place. Such a beautiful pendant and so unique. You are going to be more than happy making these a part of your jewelry collection! If you are a lover of all things unique and one of a kind, something like no one else will ever have, then this is for you!! These pendants are very hard to photograph. The pink diamond is so light in color and has amazing sparkle to it. Pink diamonds are normally very expensive and since I was able to get this at a fantastic price, I am able to make something that is affordable for you. :)   http://www.etsy.com/listing/92077456/captured-love-perfect-genuine-15-carat
This one features one of the largest cut diamonds I can fit into a glass vial pendant and is named  "Always". It is a long glass tube vial filled with .42 carats of bright, rough mixed white diamonds, .40 carats of bright yellow rough diamonds, and a .41 carat deep orange oval cut diamond (which is technically considered to be a half carat solitaire). And just to note, my scale weighs light, so the rough diamonds most likely weigh about twice what my scale says. This pendant is sealed and cannot be opened. It hangs beautifully, diamonds moving in the tube so that every move of your body shows a different look. The orange diamond stays pretty much right in the middle of the white and yellow diamonds. But they all move around freely so you'll get a different look out of it each time you wear it. Such a beautiful pendant and so unique. You are going to be more than happy making these a part of your jewelry collection! If you are a lover of all things unique and one of a kind, something like no one else will ever have, then this is for you!! These pendants are very hard to photograph. The orange is so bright and deep in color. Very unique!  http://www.etsy.com/listing/92056446/captured-love-always-genuine-41-carat


And these stunning beauties sold today, pretty much as quick as they were listed:
"Patriotic"
"Spirit"
And this one, which was a custom pendant made like "Pride"

So as you can see...busy busy busy!
