  17. I am slowly turning my unofficial business official; I am now registered in the state of Texas and am required to charge sales tax.  Any orders within TX will have an additional 8% added on from now on......I hate having to raise prices, BUT I have been basically not charging tax OR labor for 4 years.  Next I will be registering with the city and filing my dba, but since those cost money I have to wait a bit.......and I also now have a business liabilty insurance policy!

  30. I am planning some good changes for this site in the coming months!  I am currently in the process of updating some of the photos - making them much clearer and sharper and in a better setting.  Hopefully this will give you a better 'feel' for the pieces.

    I am also looking in to starting a section featuring pieces that were FULLY manufactured in the United States - meaning EVERY bead, wire, finding etc. as well as the assembling of the piece.

    Also, I will be adding some new 'popular trends' jewelry featuring things like Hello Kitty, owls, bling etc.

    I am hoping these changes will have a positive impact!
  31. This one took less time to make, but turned out simply stunning!!!!!
    coins jewelry set
  32. This is the first set where I am actually factoring in the value of my time making these pieces - hence the higher price.  Up until now, I have only been asking for slightly more than the cost of materials.  From now on, I will be offering full-priced jewelry AND clearance items, so there is something for everyone.  I will NOT raise the price on previously discounted items- you will always be able to buy these at the original low prices.

    Here is the first offering in my higher range.....This took quite a bit of time to do

  33. There will be a benefit for the Art Department of the Fort Worth School District on Saturday, Feb. 16 and Sunday the 17th

    There will be an arts show on the 16th at 2pm, and I will be selling my jewelry (and maybe some of my other crafts as well).  And my husband Chris will be there showcasing his chainmaille work. 

    I got my instructor evaluation back on my projects from the design school - turns out I have a lot of room for provement.  My wire wrapping in particular needs work - and I HAVE to invest in a point-and-shoot digital camera.  So my schooling may be on hold until I get more practice (and money)......

    Hope to see you at the show on Sat!
  34. Congratulations to Heather Winfrey!  She gets her pick of any item on the site!  

    Anyone posting a VALID, non-SPAM comment on the blog or an order is entered!
  35. I will be out of town from Feb.  4-9 on a mission trip to Denver.  This time I will be flying, so I will not be able to have my inventory with me  (I'm not sure I can even manage to bring my laptop).  If you place an order, it will be filled no later than Feb. 10.  Thank you for your understanding, and God bless!
  36. Here is my final project for this unit, a bracelet that was recycled from using components from another (the metal roses)

  37. And these are the matching earrings - Roses For Elizabeth...I had to get a bit creative with these, since I ran out of some materials!

  47. Congratulations Brenda Heimeyer!  Brenda gets to choose anything from this site as her prize!  Names for the December drawing start today.
  48. So I have not posted for quite some time......I had to drop my business in order to look for 'real' work due to financial setbacks.  I am now performing online tasks for Clickworker and Leapforce, and hopefully the money will start coming in soon......today being Saturday I have decided not to do any of the regular work, but instead to spend some much-needed time giving my websites the attention they deserve!  I also need to start adding some new pieces - one is currently in progress......

    The annual crafts bazaar at the Arlington Plaza retirement home did not go so well this year; they put us towards the entrance in a corner out of sight, so many people didn't even know the bazaar was happening!  Sadly not one of my things was sold......

    Tomorrow at church the people in the School of Church Planting will be running the whole service!  Our pastors are in Miami for the 1st ever DBC Pastors Conference.  I will be part of the Prayer Team, and my husband will also be on the stage for prayer following the worship.  It is going to be an exciting day!!!!

    Last Wed. I went to the American Airlines Center in Dallas to see Rush; I passed out gospel tracts beforehand outside the venue.  It was one of the most incredible light shows I have ever seen!  Later I found out that one of the guys at our church was on the setup crew!

    Well, that's the quick rundown for now - time to find something for lunch and pay more bills.....
  49. Another addition to Designs by Chris!
    Chainmaille Ring
  50. Here is the latest addition to the Designs By Chris collection

    *Names are entered once for the current month only - does not rollover UNLESS the winner does not respond.
  52. It's Sunday, and that means no work for me!  Yesterday my husband and I attended the School of Church Planting at our church - Deliverance Bible Church in Hurst, TX - and found out that all the future church planters will be RUNNING the church one Sunday in December while all our pastors are in Miami at a conference!  This is a huge challenge for all of us, especially those who will be stepping up to preach and lead worship.  My husband willl be praying after the praise and worship, and we will both be part of the prayer team which prays for the service before it starts.  


    In the evening we attended a wedding shower for an engaged couple at our church; it was in a small community center of an apt. complex, and the kids were pretty energtic!  They were jumping and dancing and keeping us all entertained!  :)

    Today is the usual schedule - service at 2, then we pop over to the Kyrie service in Fort Worth that Calvary Lutheran hosts in a bar - Zio Carlos on Magnolia Street - and THEN finally the Joyful Noise Worship Centre that for NOW is held on the patio of the Taco Cabana on Little Road in Arlington.  I feel the Lord is calling me to look into a new location soon, most likely at a rehearsal place in Arlington.......

    That's about it for today!
  53. I have been neglecting blogging for the past week or so.....been super busy on Tophatter though, trying to get things sold!  I have had minimal success, and am still experimenting with what people over there want and how much they are willing to pay.  I have TONS of supplies now, everything from boxes to ring blanks!  Here are a few pics of some cheaper things I am putting over there...

  57. Real gemstones in this one!  Carnelian, crazy lace agate, peridot, and freshwater pearls, also Tibetan silver, on knotted silk thread.

  58. Thought I'd share a few pics of different things.....
    Here is my 'baby' Lilly - she is 8 and ADORABLE!


    Then there is Stone....at 12 she went to be Jesus' kitty, we miss her so!


  59. Yesterday was filled as usual with church activities - 2pm service at Deliverance Bible Church, then over to Zio Carlo's Brew Pub at 5pm for Kyrie, where Joshua Irwin performed and there was also a double baptism!  At 8 my husband and I headed to Taco Cabana for the weekly Joyful Noise Worship Centre which we host on the porch (with closed windows this time!)  Even though nobody joined us this time, Holy Spirit still came while Misty Edwards' Relentless album was playing on my laptop.  

    Even though I am loving this cooler weather - Saturday's block party was enjoyed while sitting around a fire pit in the middle of the street, wrapped in coats and blankets - our house seems to want to stay at a constant chilly 66 degrees :(  It may have something to do with the fact of the big gaping hole in the ceiling that my hubby has yet to patch up......

    Today I will be picking out some items to place in our neighbors' boutique, and also designing a new piece to be put on Tophatter - this one is really sparkling!
  60. Anyone posting SPAM comments to this blog be advised, it will not help you, as I go through them each day and delete spam......any real comments will be entered into a monthly drawing to win an item of your choice on this site.

    As I have not gotten a response from last month's winner of the giveaway, the names from last month will be re-entered into the Oct. drawing.  Again, please only comment if you really are interested in the post, and please check your spam filters and add amy@amyshandmadejewelry.com to your approved list, so winners can get their notices!  Thanks!

    Today is the block party where I will be setting up a table for my jewelry and perhaps my other crafts as well - anyone in the Arlington Texas area, it is from 2-10pm on Shady Hill Lane.  There will be hotdogs and hamburgers, a bounce house and of course my jewelry :)  I believe a Scentsy seller will also be displaying her items.
  61. Here are a few pieces I put together exclusively for the Tophatter auctions.....glodtone crystals braceletVictorian cameo with crystals choker
  62. Congratulations to Paul Simong, the September drawing winner!  He wins his choice of 1 item from this site!

    The next drawing will begin tomorrow at 9am - same rules - leave a comment on the blog or be the winning bidder on Tophatter.com for one of my items on auction and you will be entered  for the next giveaway on Oct 31.
  63. Today is the last day to be included in the September drawing for a random item from this site!  I will draw a name tonight around 10PM and announce the winner on here and in an email......just leave a comment on this blog and you're entered!  The drawing for October will begin Monday morning at 9am.

    In other news, fall is trying to arrive again here in TX - after ANOTHER heat wave of 90's, it is in the 70's and rainy!  It feels so good to be able to wear something other than a tank top, shorts and sandals!  But on the not-so-good side, our recently repaired roof sprung a leak, which I discovered yesterday after emerging from my office to finally eat......so it is a construction zone again.  This time my husband has to wait until the rain ends so he can go out on the roof to find the leak.

    Today is the usual Sunday routine - DBC (church) at 2pm, then grab a burger and head over to Kyrie at Zio Carlo's in Ft. Worth, then the Joyful Noise Worship Centre in Arlington around 8.  Havin my coffee now - I found some coffee pods at Walmart for my Senseo machine!!!!  :) 
  64. Right now I am making 2 GO! France bracelets for the Pastor of our church and his wife, for when they go to Paris next year and do missions as a family.  For the first time I am engraving in cursive on the medallions, which looks a lot nicer!

    While I was attempting to follow Tophatter auctions and cut beading wire, I snipped the end of my left middle finger with the scissors.....looked worse than it was.

    And while RSVPing for the neighborhood block party on Oct. 6, the lady who runs it told me I am allowed to set up tables and sell my jewelry!!!!  For anyone in the area of Arlington, TX it is on the block of 5700 Shady Hill Lane, from 2-10pm.  I am so excited!!!!

    Now to work a little more on the bracelets before leaving for Bible study......
  65. This is something I came up with just for the crowd at Tophatter.com - a simple crystal and goldtone chain bracelet.  I am also experimenting with my scanner and different backgrounds to make the pics more appealing.  It seems that if I just lay a piece of light color cardstock over the jewelry instead of the flat top of the machine it looks slightly better......I am in the market for an affordable priced Canon Powershot.
     
  66. Starting today I will be sharing some personal stories, tidbits about my day and the 'inner workings' of my company.  I spent most of today just trying to log into my AmysNotions site, which has not been cooperative lately!  I also want to send my appreciation to Paul and Wanda for all their patience - I know I can be a pain to work with!  ;)  Happy birthday Wanda!!

    Everything else is rather slow here.....I tried to auction off an ensemble this morning at Tophatter.com, but nobody placed a bid :(  I  did make a new gold and crystal bracelet, but I need to find a better camera other than my flatbed scanner - I guess it looks clear enough to me but it actually isn't to anyone else????

    I will also let you in on the antics of my beloved cat Lilly - 1/2 of Lillystone (Stone passed away earlier this year), and share those pics too.  She's probably curled up in a laundry basket somewhere.....she prefers boxes and baskets and paper bags to the store-bought pet beds!Lilly cat
  67. Normally this would be in my other AmysNotions.com store, which is currently experiencing some technical difficulties - so it has been added to the Ornaments page instead on this site.....
    decorated candle
  68. I have just lowered the shipping rates for all locations!  Now shipping to the US is just $3!  To Canada is $5, and everywhere else is $7.
  69. I have an item in tomorrow's Jewelry Auction - it is on Standby, and will not be in the actual auction until someone bids the $5 minimum - it is the Shield of Style Ring!  The auction starts at 11am tomorrow (Sept. 14) and here is a link to enter....

  70. serpentine jewelry set
  71. I experimented today with placing an item on Tophatter.com for auction - it was the Abalone Watch.  It sold for a total of $21 BUT the buyer had a $10 credit - plus PayPal and Tophatter fees.  I am supposed to be getting the $10 back from Tophatter.....if I do I will consider placing items on auction from time to time.....I will announce it on my site beforehand - and every winner will also be placed in the monthly drawing!

  72. I finished all the assignments and will mail them off tomorrow at the post office (no WAY am I trusting this to the local carrier)!  Took the test, got an A-.  Now I just have a few pages at the end of the Study Guide to go through, which pertain to photographing jewelry and jewelry supply resources.  Unit 2 comes after my next 2 tuition payments, which would make it around Nov-Dec.....going to be hard waiting that long; we'll see how long I can hold out!
  73. Well, I have finished the first 2 projects for Unit 1!  Yesterday I assembled a collage made up of things that inspire me - mine is all Victiorian-style decor.  Lots of ruffles, lace, pastel colors, and images that evoke a feeling of richness and luxury.  Today for project 3 I have to take an old piece of jewelry and cut it apart and think about how I can use the components to create a new piece of jewelry.  When my assignments come back from the school I may share them on here.  I'm off to recycle some jewelry!
  74. I received the first lesson shipment yesterday from the Sheffield School of Interior Design!  I am going to be taking the Jewelry Design Course.  Included were a textbook, 2 smaller study guide books, 2 CDs and a DVD - plus slipcases to hold them all in!  I started immediately - there is a certain order you are supposed to do each lesson in, alternating between audio, video and text.  Now I am beginning my 1st assignment!  I have to find examples of jewelry I love and jewelry I don't care for, print the pictures and paste them on paper, and then answer some questions about each kind.  There are a few more assignments for this Unit, including making a collage and taking some old jewelry apart and examining it and coming up with ideas on how to redesign it......and while I am doing all this I also will be paying bills, working on this website, and who knows what else?  Oh yeah, church stuff!  My life is packed full of blessings and I love it!
  75. I recently enrolled in the Sheffield School of Design and am going to be working on a certificate in Jewelry Design: Beading and Wire Working!  Today my materials for the first lessons came, and I am so excited!  I will share what I am learning on this site and I expect the quality of my jewelry offerings to increase with my skill.  Stay tuned for more as I embark on this new chapter of my life!
  76. Starting at the end of September I will be giving away a random piece of beaded jewelry (ornaments in the winter months) to 1 winner every month -  just enter your information on the form to be placed in the drawing.  1 entry per person per month.  All information is completely confidential and will not be shared with anyone.
  77. This is a Christian missions bracelet for the Democratic Republic of Congo....I ran out of my usual silver medallions and haven't gotten my new order in yet, so I substituted another style of bezel instead.  This particualr bracelet is longer than normal......

  119. I have been receiving numerous calls from companies promising they can improve my rankings - I am currently paying off a license at Stores Online, which means I will not have any disposable income until after 2013.  And if I decide to go with a company for SEO help, it will be Stores Online.  Until then, please do not contact me about optimizing my site - I have plenty of free tools currently at my disposal; I simply have not had time to work on it much lately, due to other pressing matters.

    Welcome to my jewelry blog!

    As I daily work on getting customers to my site, I am finding I need some method of commmunication and feedback.  There has to be some way of finding out why people are not purchasing - lack of funds, poor offerings, errors in my website?  So I am implementing a few methods of collecting feedback to improve the business.  If you are reading this and have decided to not make a purchase today, can you please spend a few minutes and leave a comment here as to the reasons?  It will just take a minute of your time and I would REALLY appreciate it!  

    Sun. June 19, 2011

    Finished 1 beaded bookmark (out of 4) - didn't turn out quite as I expected, but still looks good.  Still deciding if I want to part with these or not.....

    Tues. June 21, 2011

    Working on bookmark #3...they are really turning our gorgeous!  Still working on my links, hoping to get that elusive PR!  A sale wouldn't hurt either....

    Wed. June 22, 2011

    Working on optimizing my site's pages and images so I can get PageRank - also now submitting for links.  Hopefully later tonight there will be time for me to finish working on bookmark #3.  The Summer Sale will continue for at least a couple more days.

    Fri. June 24, 2011

    The beaded bookmarks are finally finished and listed!  I kept 1 out of the 4 for myself - it was just too pretty!  :)  Made some changes to my home page also.
