Project Night Night

I was doing some blog hopping before bedtime last night & came across mommies2cents, she had a post about something called "Project Night Night". The name intrigued me so i started reading & I've decided to send some newly purchased items to help! Here is the run down of "Project Night Night" (for more info go HERE).

The bag donated

Donate Stuffed Animals, Baby Blankets, and Children's Books
Project Night Night donates over 25,000 Night Night Packages each year, free of charge, to
homeless children who need our childhood essentials to feel secure, cozy, ready to learn, and
significant. Each Night Night Package contains a new security blanket, an age-appropriate
children's book, and a stuffed animal -- all nestled inside of a new canvas tote bag. By providing
objects of reliable comfort, Project Night Night reduces trauma and advances the emotional and
cognitive well-being of the children we serve.

Every child who receives one of our Night Night Packages leaves the shelter owning a book which
encourages reading and family bonding, a security blanket which can be cuddled, and a stuffed
animal which can become a cherished friend. We have one objective – to deliver our Night Night
Packages to every homeless child in the country who needs one.

You can click your state HERE & see the shelter's that are being served in your state. You can also donate $20 to help a child on the waiting list to receive a bag.

Make a child happy?

Fantastic blog hops! Take a peek!

Hello Elegance!

Ok, i lied...I relisted the "Elegance in Periwinkle earrings" today! They're so pretty i couldn't help it! I also made myself a pair this time. I made another pair of elegant earrings too but my laptop wont read my camera card so i will have to post those tomorrow when i get home from work.

These earrings are gorgeous! These are sterling silver earrings on sterling silver ear wires. Encrusted with crystallized Swarovski crystals.

Earrings measure 1" x 1"

This pair will come in a organza pouch

On another note, I'm doing a giveaway!! I'll be doing one EVERY month until Christmas. I'm planning to try to do a big one for Christmas. There are a few different ways to get extra credit for the giveaway. I*m excited about it & i know you guys will love it!

I'll be back soon!!

Hello there! It has been awhile huh? I just wanted to let everyone know I'll be adding some new items by the middle of next week. I'm gathering everything together to get up next week. I will be adding a few screen print designs. I'm playing around with screen printing & I love it. As always the items I put up are limited editions, some of the items will be back but some may not. I got rid of UniqueCharm.net. I'm open for advice on new promo's for the shop & help to get back in the swing of things, I'd love any input anyone would like to spare.

*NOTE: My paypal account got hacked so as of right now I'll only be taking personal checks & money orders as forms of payment.
Check out the new Unique Charm!

I*m coming back

I*m sitting here watching the new Dane Cook: isolated incident on comedy centeral & I*m so tired. I was doing a little surfing and i found some awesome new supplies! So there will be new jewelry coming very soon. Jay asked me to make him a necklace so I*ll be doing that on thursday. I dont really make guy jewelry but i do a little for my brother so i thought I*d make Jay one on Thursday. I*m going to be doing a little more elegant jewelry. I*m coming out of my comfort zone & diving in, it doesnt help to be scared all the time right? Please stay tued for updates next week. I*m trying to get everything together to promote & make new things. I*m going to hold off on the zipper pouches for a few weeks. I was looking at new beads & what not & i figured out how much i missed my jewelry making!

I haven't decided if we are going to the beach or not. Everyone still wants to but its supposed to rain & i dont want to camp in the rain ya know. I haven't updated in a few days because i have been spending a lot of time at Jay*s. His little nieces are so precious! I didnt feel good Sunday so Skyler & Jay layed on the couch with me & watched "meet the Robinsons", well Skyler did, jay fell asleep. I woke up beside him this morning & he was so sweet, it was a beautiful morning. :)

A Day of Latte's

Today is going to be another long day & again, I*m not sleepy at all. I*m really excited more than anything. I*ve been sitting around thinking about different components & since I*ve got a job now i can get more stuff. MUAHAHA!! :D I find myself pondering in things that would usually scare me away. I*m ready for a change though. I*ve been on the zipper pouch kick because they come in handy, I*ve made myself & friends a bunch, so many that i had to oil my sewing machine. Speaking of zipper pouches, i got around to making one today. I*ll post it later this afternoon when i get home & take photo's. I*m running moms errands again in the morning at 8am while she works, then i have to be at Staples at 10:45am to fill out my paperwork & maybe do a little training. Ryan*s also going to give me my hours for next week, i think i have like 4 days? We went over it a little today when i went in to buy a bubble envelope & to give him the days i needed off :P He said "your not even on payroll until Friday & you come to me wanting 5 days off already?" I just smiled & he shook his head, he knows how i operate. I have the bands coming to Lake Donna on the 16th with the EMS Auxiliary team. Ryan said if he puts me in the copy center it will keep me occupied & since i talk to everyone i can talk them into stuff they dont need {he only half hearted meant that} to improve our monthly quota. Needless to say I*m going to need a venti white chocolate mocha from Starbucks to accomplish all that needs to be done today. Wish me luck!

Looking through the glass

I*m going to try to get some things done tomorrow. I*ve been up since 6:30am {couldnt sleep anymore} & i met Candace at 8:30am to be at the Relay for Life at 9 to help paint faces. We had a good time, it was such a pretty day all day. There where a few clouds but nothing to spoil anything & it didnt rain. We also had a birthday party for my naana, whos real birthday isnt until tomorrow. Candace made butterfly cupcakes for the event {Steven helped although he dont wanna admit it}. For those of you who dont know we have 5 sets of twins in our family { the first set starting with my brother & I}. I took a picture of Sarah & Caitlyn doing what they do, do you know who is who? To everyone else it*s so hard for them but if you know them on a personal level they are 2 TOTALLY different people. Candace is 10 years older than them & I am 9 years older so since the day they were born we picked one to help take care of {like Julie & Joanna did with me & Kevin}. She picked Sarah & I picked Caitlyn. Sarah is so much like Candace & Caitlyn is so much like me. Caitlyn is funny, spontaneous, creative, truthful & loud {just like me} Sarah is the medium opposite but she is really funny too. Some things they say & their mom will look at one of us like "i knew you had something to do with that". Caitlyn has no problem speaking her mind but Sarah gives a lot of thought into what she says.
I will do features next week but i just wanted to take a day to recognize my family, they read my blog & they*ve never said anything about it. Things change from day to day & ya never know if that day is going to be your last. I*ve lost 2 best friends, a close friend & an uncle recently. Just make sure your family & friends know how much they mean to you & thank them for what they do for ya.

Yay for fabric!

I*ve been sitting around the house all day, i need to get all my stuff off my floor & hang my clothes up & get them in my closet. It*s beautiful outside & I*ve had the window open all day, it*s getting hotter though. I*ve been in a fairly creative mood today. I made my first key chain. It*s a snarky smiley face. :P I had to sacrifice a throw pillow to stuff it though. I*ll post the picture when i add his ring.

I pulled out some fabric ive been holding out on forever & I*m going to attempt a new way to make zipper pouches. Mom bought me an awesome sewing machine for Christmas & I*ve been scared to play with it. I did do the few pouches i have listed but it was nerve racking because if i cut my felt it wouldn't fit into the pouch. Today im being adventurous, whats the worst that can happen? I*ll just have to cut a few stitches out. Hopefully these little cuties will make it into the etsy shop & UC.net. I*ll only have 1 kitty pouch though, i made my little cousin a pencil pouch when i got the fabric.

A day of procrastination

I re listed a few things this morning. I*m going to try to get some sewing done this evening so hopefully I can add those in a day or so. It sucks through because i have to use my cell phone camera, i may have to wait until tomorrow morning to take the photo's. I have been going none stop since i moved & it feels so good to sit down & take a minute to relax. I downloaded a few songs I*ve been wanting & I*m thinking of re doing the playlists on the ipod. I*ve got 500 some odd songs & my ipod only plays the ones it likes. I found this one song by "FM Static" called "Tonight" & i LOVE it! I*m always asking around but if anyone has a song i should take a listen to please feel free to leave it in my comments & I*ll give it a try.

Good Morning World!

I*ve been MIA for awhile & I*ve had time to recharge my batteries. I*m just now getting everything back together because i moved to Wakefield again. Justin & I havent been together since January & I*ve had a lot of time to myself. I*ve learned who i am & I*m so happy now. Justin & I have a mutual agreement that we are better as friends. I*m going to get my blog & everything up & running again. I*ll be doing some features next week too, I*ll also be making some new creations to post next week. I*ve gotta figure out what to do about my camera situation though. I need a new camera card i think, it maybe my laptop that cant find the cards. My laptop wont find my card or Justins card. I could use my cellphone but thats going to be terribile. If anyone knows some way i can tweak it please leave me a comment, it would be so helpful!

My cousin & her boyfriend went to the "Knights of Lights" in Rockingham this week & i told them I*d babysit Daisy & Nine {their doggies} Nine doesnt like anyone but she has warmed up to me the last few weeks, it was cool i let them out this morning & let Daisy in & Nine out for about an hour then went back at 8pm to let them out & feed them & the fish.

I*m back!

It has been so long! Now I*m back in full swing! I took a break for a little while but now I*m back. I*ve cleared out all the old baggage & have found myself again. I*ll be adding a few new items in a week or so, still trying to get moved into the new house. Check out the website & for the etsy fans check me out here too.

Sleep Deprived But Full Of Idea's.

I finally got a moment to rest. I*ve been so busy with work the last few days to focus on anything else. I*m doing a design scheme for a wedding in November. I*m excited the lady asked! Her planner bailed out & since she knows my mom designs & consults & mom has taken me on she called mom to ask me. She's doing it in light fall colors I*m so excited! Justin & I watched "Untraceable" this morning & went to bed at 4am. The movie was great! NOT for the weak tummies though.

I*ll also be adding a new line oh say the mid to end of October. I*m not going to post all the items in my etsy shop but you can find them on UniqueCharm.net. I dont want to post a piece at a time so I*m going to have a little stock before i add them. I*ll keep you posted. It's going to be different & well...Unique :P

I dont have to long to post because I*m going to a poker tournament tonight. Wish me luck!
