Not quite sure what is going on...

Well, viewing my blog- none of the pictures are coming through. Maybe it's just a today problem. I've been pretty busy with orders and scrapbooking! And it's really nice when you can put the two together. I recently made a picture book for a store to have on their counter for customers to look over when they want to order a mommy or little girl name bracelet. It turned out really neat! I'm hoping to make a few more.
I've been working on adding my mid summer line. Trying to come up with a new design for the Baby Addison Bracelet card. I'm very excited about the new necklaces I will be adding to the line. But that is about all I can tell you for now! I might just show you a sneak peek one of these days!
I have to go hit the gym tonight and yet I would rather stay in and do some scrapbooking. I picked up some new paper at the store today. Of course I was only going for the ribbon. And walked out with paper and embellishments! Ha, Ha!
I decided to change the look of the gift boxes for my jewelry business. I will have chocolate boxes with a chocolate and light blue striped ribbon. I real love the chocolate color! I don't have the pictures posted yet, but stop by next week and check them out.
Have a great week. I'm headed to make dinner, oh and fold clothes, and, and, and... Yes, I'm a real mom and wife and I run a business from home. Ha, Ha!

New 'Featured Bride' Jewelry

Check these pieces out! Isn't this bracelet and earring set just stunning! I wish I had somewhere to go that I would be 'forced' to wear something as elegant as this! Unfortunately, I just don't think t-shirt and jeans would quite cut it with this one!



I just updated my 'Featured Bride' page on my website. The page is meant to show examples of how a bride can choose just about any piece from the current collections and we can redesign it to be suitable for their wedding style. Even though we might not show a complete set online we can always design the missing necklace, bracelet or earrings. I love to do custom orders! I now have added all these custom orders into my catalog on my website.

To view my 'Featured Bride' page, just click on the link above. If you have any questions about custom orders be sure to email me at beautifulgarden@cox.net

Again, thanks for stopping by!

Have a great Sunday! I know I will- today is my son's birthday!!!
