I found a great way to use up newspapers and make them into something really sweet and pretty: Make sure to check out my blog for tips and tutorials regularly.
VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT GUIDE:
Valentine's Day is sneaking up on us! Get your sweetie something special while also helping out the planet! B.B. Bellezza has lots of eco-friendly jewelry and gifts that are also inexpensive and nice to the planet that your honey is sure to love!
Button Bouquets made with upcycled buttons. Bonus: They Never Die! Keep your office cheery with bottle cap magnet sets! Perfect for dull filing cabinets or the fridge, I created these using strong magnets that will hold up a lot!

Holiday Gift-Giving
One-of-a-Kind
Jewelry is a great choice for a gift anytime. Handmade jewelry is especially a lovely gift because the recipient is receiving a one-of-a-kind piece that was made with a high level of craftsmanship and you can actually meet the person creating your piece. A majority of pieces are one-of-a-kind or are made in very limited quantities because I repurpose and upcycle many materials. I have many choices and pieces to choose from. Check out my shop at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER in person, or my online shop for my complete line.
For example, I have a limited number of crystal chandelier earrings, necklaces and bracelets; a very limited number of typewriter key rings; my key pendants are each one-of-a-kind and are very limited; and many of my Scrabble Tile Pendants are completely one-of-a-kind.
Customize
B.B. Bellezza jewelry has many customizable options, as well. If you see a piece that is *almost* perfect, but just needs resized, or maybe in a different color, just let me know and I can most likely do a custom order for you.
My Scrabble Tile Pendants are customizable. You can email me a photo to put on a pendant or choose a sentimental word for a Definition Scrabble Tile Pendant. (Please contact me ASAP for custom pendant orders for the holidays. Email me at BBBellezza@comcast.net)
Mix and Match
My Game Tile Pendants (Scrabble, Rumikub and Domino) are all interchangeable on cords and chains that I have available in my shops, and are wonderful gifts. You can easily purchase 1 or more pendants and just one cord or chain. You can give your gift recipient several gifts in one. They are also a fabulous price at $7 for a pendant and $3 for most chains and cords. (Mix and Match available at my stand at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER and in my Etsy Shop)
Outta The Way
Outta the Way is a travel zine, a self-published guide all about places that are “out of the way” written and published by Jim Kohler (my other half) and me. Each issue is a guide to a location with lots of fun, historical or odd places you may have never visited about before. The places are all in PA and easily drivable from Lancaster, PA. Check out the Outta the Way Etsy Shop for all the issues.
This month is Volume 7: Southern York County, Pennsylvania.
Also find Outta the Way on facebook to keep up-to-date.
Coupon First Friday November 6, 2009 6 pm – 9 pm ONLY Buy any pendant, get a free cord (get a free cord for each purchased pendant) Or use the code NovDisc all month in my Etsy Shop (Pick out your cord or chain and let me know in the notes to seller.)
Giveaway
I also have a montly giveaway for Facebook fans of B.B. Bellezza and people who subscribe to my email newsletter (you can fill out the form to the right to sign up!)
