Sometimes your life doesn't go exactly as planned. Sometimes it doesn't come even close. Usually we all just roll with it, adjust and move on. We have to because life just continues on whether or not you are ready for it to or not. Sometimes, though, you have to take a few hours - days - weeks to readjust and figure out what you are doing or where you are going.

I am moving forward with the world.

What's coming up for B.B. Bellezza:

Extraordinary Jewelry made from Ordinary Objects is a pdf eBook tutorial that I am currently working on. It features many designs you can make with hardware. It will (hopefully) be released on Monday, March 14th.

You can expect some more free tutorials here on the blog, too, now that I am coming unstuck and moving forward. I have a lot to share!

I also have a really special new line of jewelry that I am going to tell you about tomorrow!

And tomorrow is my birthday, too, so make sure to come here tomorrow morning for a really awesome 1-day sale for tomorrow only in my etsy shop!

Looking at it in this photo, you wouldn't necessarily believe that this is very clean and organized...but considering what it looked like a couple days ago, you would be impressed. (I would never post an embarrassing photo like the before photo of the mess!)

Things have been relatively hectic around here, and I think it's safe to say that they will become even more so as we continue to head on into the holidays. (I know, right? Where has this year even gone??)

There will be plenty of new B.B. Bellezza merchandise that will make great gifts! I've been working hard! Some of the new items can be found at my booth at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER (342 N. Queen Street, Rear Warehouses, Lancaster, PA) and they'll be infiltrating into my Etsy Shop and other shops very soon. (As well as here!)

Shop Update and Other Announcements

My etsy shop has been udpated. Here a just a few of the pieces that were listed and now available:

Also, I am no longer going to be posting my monthly newsletters here on the blog. Don't worry, though, it's easy to get the newsletter. All you have to do is sign up over to the right. When you get a confirmation email, just click on the link. You'll then recieve the next month's newsletter, the monthly discount, and be entered into the monthly drawing!

Etsy Shop Update

Blue Flowers Scrabble Tile Pendant, originally uploaded by B.B. Bellezza.

Last evening I listed a bunch of new items in my Etsy Shop (for example, the pictured pendant.) Mainly they were upcycled scrabble tile pendants and upcycled domino pendants. There are a lot to choose from!

I have a few more to list, and then a bunch of other new jewelry, so there will probably be another "listing frenzy" later on in the week.

I have recently received many scrabble games to upcycle, so that is why I have so many....and there will be more. If there is a certain style or type, or something you have been yearning for but can't find, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

I'm on a roll!

I am loving the new key necklaces. I am super happy how they turned out. I am very proud of the Blue Bell of the Ball Charm Necklace as well.

Some are in my shop now, some will be added soon.

Take care!

Updating the Shop

Just a quick little note to let you all know that I am currently, right now, at this moment (5/5/08 4:00 p.m.) updating my shop. I am listing and updating necklaces today. There are new photos on some of my already listed items, and much more excitingly (if that's a word) new designs that I am really happy about.

The above photo is of a new design and has Yellow Turquoise, Topaz and Suset Agate.

So, please come check out my shop because I feel like it is shaping up nicely.

There will be about 6 new necklaces this afternoon and several current shop pieces will have new photos for your viewing pleasure.

Let me know what you think of the new pieces. I hope to keep this process going throughout the evening and the rest of the week.

I hope to get everything all updated through the next couple of weeks, along with making some new pieces! Woo Hoo!

I'm Back and I got Stuff!

I am back from a very enjoyable and fun weekend in Charlotte with the girls. It may become a semi-annual trip, which I really love! Fun fun fun. Oh! And I got my hair cut shorter... I like it shorter, but I am not really fond of the actual cut. Perhaps I will grow to like it, or perhaps I will get it cut again. :)

When I got home I found this waiting for me!

From the awesome Naomi at The Glitter Workshop! I can't wait to make stuff with these awesome charms!!I am already planning on visiting their shop and buying some more! In other news, is everyone all ready for tomorrow? You may not know what it is yet, but you can read about it here~! (shhhhh.... don't tell anyone! It is a surprise.) P.S., I still didn't get any takers on the free kit offer! Contact me with your full name and mailing address if you would like it. For anyone who wants one and doesn't win, the kit is now listed on Etsy! Here. I am off from my full time job today to recoup from the weekend. I am trying to get caught back up again, but I may not get my blog rounds in. :) Plus, I am trying to relax and watch lots of the DIY network! Know that I am thinking of everyone, and will get all caught back up as I can!! See you tomorrow for the super special surprise. I love alliteration! Love,Kim
