I've taken a much needed hiatus from making necklaces. Sometimes making something and sharing it with others is really fulfilling and sometimes... well, it's just not. I have a lot of AMAZING customers who buy repeatedly and refer others, and I am truly grateful. There are a select few who have made this little business of mine somewhat frustrating and frankly, not fun. I decided when it wasn't fun, I wasn't going to do it.
I am still making necklaces for those who need something special for a loved one, friend or themselves. I am just not trying to grow this hand stamped jewelry business any longer. With the increase in orders, I have less time with my children (this is not a hobby you can do while your kids are napping... hammers kind of ruin it). If I'm going to spend less time with my children, it would REALLY have to be worth it, and honestly, what could be more important than my 3 boys....?
If you need to order, for now, you can send an email with your requests to:

Thanks!!!
Totally get it! I'm glad I'm your sis in law, so I can still partake in talents!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Did I add to the frustration and unfun? Your jewelry is awesome and my MIL loved her necklace. Thanks so much for helping me out. I understand though, its hard when something takes away from your little ones. They are WAY more important.
ReplyDeleteJust send your kiddos over to play and then you can work for a few hours with out feeling guilty!
