Jazz with me....

BlogMaster and I were up late this weekend listening to some sweet sweet Jazz. An especially ear catching song came on and we both about flew out of our seats when the chorus hit. It was Louis Jordan's original, "Is you is, or is you ain't my baby". I'd been hearing of this song for years as it was featured on a childhood cartoon classic, forever ingrained in BlogMasters memory :)

I'm SOO thrilled to have finally heard it!! Now to find the album....

You dig?

Okay, so I'm totally not the athletic type. I'd love to be, seriously, it just doesn't work out that way. BUT, I have a feeling my legs could take me the extra mile if I were doing it for a good cause!

Segue: Alex, The American Liver Foundation and Enve Jewelry

I was recently contacted by Ngan of Enve in regards to her brilliant Raffle for Charity opportunity. She's created many ways to enter and win that will ALL have you feeling like you've done something truly good and important for the strength and unity of our society.

I urge you all to head on over to her blog for more information :)

Victory is Sweet

A little while back I won a contest over at Barefoot Mommy. I was absolutely thrilled as I had admired this gals work for some time :) Here's a little bit about her from her profile over at SweetnessJewelry:


"Hi, I'm Kelly and I am 12 years old. I am going into 7th grade. I'm a very creative person and I love to make jewelry. My two aunts and my mom are helping me with everything.
My sister comes up with all of the names for my jewelry. I have two puggles (beagle and pug mix) that I love to death. Thanks for looking!"


YEAH, that says 12 YEARS OLD! If only I had the heart and dedication this young lady has at the age! Could you imagine?? This necklace and earrings (Named "Just Peachy" by the way) came beautifully packaged with a sweet handwritten note that is now on my refrigerator.

Head on over to her shop. I DARE ya to come out empty handed!!

The Sampler

Have any of you guys heard of this? Well, I dove into the deep end and decided to make up 25 pairs of my little Blush earrings and send them on in.

Who knows what will come of it but but it sure was neat seeing 50 teeny strands of pearls laying side by side.

A HUGE thank you to Melissa over at MyissaG for handcrafting all of these gorgeous little pouches I SO love to package my wares in!!





How was everyone's thanksgiving?????
