Now before you get too excited and start planning a wedding (LOL)...<br />
<br />
<b>It's Valentine's Day so it's the perfect day for me to tell you that I really do absolutely LOVE you and APPRECIATE you. I hope that's ok :)</b><br />
<br />
It means a lot to me to have you following my blog, so THANK YOU. You're the best!<br />
<br />
And what a better way to say thank you than with a sale. And not just any old sale, but another one of my <b>massive discount bearing inventory reduction sales!</b><br />

<br />
Ok I'm a day early, but I have something exciting for you! Last time I showed you the jewelry set I designed for the <b>Lady Gaga Creative Call for Oddities Event.</b> When I was designing that set, <b>I decided to do a similar one for my Jewelry for Charity Program. </b><br />
<br />
It's not exactly the same, but very close. So,<b> for those of you who like Halloween and themed jewelry, this is for you...</b><br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a lot of fun designing for that challenge, even though I hate Halloween LOL. More importantly though, the reason for making this set a Jewelry for Charity set is because <b>I want to call attention to and actively support Lady Gaga's charity, <a href="http://bornthiswayfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Born This Way Foundation</a>. That's where the donation from the sale will be going :)</b></div>

Bullying is out of control. BTWF is a movement for change and I think it's AWESOME!<b> Individuality should be celebrated and we should create a world more accepting and tolerant of differences, so I commend her and her Mom, Cynthia Germanotta, for what they're creating and wish them much success.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>She issued a creative call for oddities as a Halloween event</b> and that was a challenge I just could not pass up!

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm finishing up the project and mailing it off this week, but I thought I'd <b>share a sneak peek with you</b>. These are some of the parts I purchased for the challenge laid out on my workbench... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'll share photos once the set is finished. And, <b>if you DO like Halloween, here's a special opportunity for you....</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm making <b>a second jewelry set</b> similar to the one for the design challenge.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>My fur baby, Niko, had major surgery and I almost lost him this summer.</b> They removed his spleen and a mass from his belly. He's sick again and it looks like he may need another surgery. Here he is at work in the dining room with me (see the legs of my office chair) the day after his surgery. <b>This was the first time he gave a smiley face to Mommy after surgery... oh how wonderful it felt to see that!</b> He's my baby and it's been a heart-wrenching, rough 5 months here.</span><br />

I can't believe it's been 11 years... 11 years... wow. The shock and horror are still fresh enough to move me to tears. Everyone always asks if you remember where you were on 9/11. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Do you remember where you were? I do. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">I remember exactly where I was standing, who I was with and who told me when the first plane hit the World Trade Center. I remember watching on the TV in the patient waiting area in shock as the second plane hit. And I remember going back to take care of my veteran patients with a terrified student who was afraid any government building could be next... I was working at the VA Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island on that day. I remember it as vividly as if it were yesterday.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Little did I know at the time, but there was someone I knew on the plane I had just watched crash into the WTC. Amy Jarret was a Flight Attendant on United Airlines Flight 175. I knew her from high school at Mount St Charles Academy in Woonsocket, RI. Two years younger than I and her life gone in a flash...</span><br />

Personally, I'm a summer person so the thought of the fall season coming so fast has me less than thrilled to say the least. But I have friends who can't wait for the cooler weather to come. And I have to admit even I get excited about the fall coffee flavors at Dunkin' and Honey Dew ^.^ For those who don't know... my blood type is coffee... LOL.<br />
<br />
If you like fall and the colors that come with it, take a look at this beautiful ArtFire Collection put together by JewelryByBeaJae. She was kind enough to include my Falling Leaves Toggle Bracelet so a huge thank you goes out to her.<br />

Some of you may know her. And, if you've been around here at all, you've heard me talk about her. Natalie is <a href="http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/" target="_blank">The Suitcase Entrepreneur</a>. She spends her time travelling the world, having all kinds of great adventures and raising money for worthy causes, all the while running her business from her laptop!<br />
<br />
You may have heard about one of her recent EPIC adventures: Natalie rode in the Tour d'Afrique. <b>Yup, <a href="http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/human-powered-awesome-2/how-to-bike-4000-miles-across-africa-while-running-your-business-and-raise-over-12000-for-women-win/" target="_blank">she rode her bike 4,000 miles across Africa</a> and raised $12,612 for Women Win in the process.</b> Pretty amazing, huh?<br />
<br />
More recently, she was in Portland, Oregon for the <a href="http://worlddominationsummit.com/" target="_blank">World Domination Summit</a>. At the end of the weekend, <a href="http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/the-100-investment/" target="_blank">Chris Guillebeau gave everyone who attended $100</a> (basically gave away $100,000 in 7 minutes!) and asked them to <b>do something with it - start a project, surprise someone or do something entirely different.</b><br />
<br />
Natalie dreams BIG... and does BIG. She's also passionate about helping others, especially women entrepreneurs. <b>So, with her $100, she decided to start a whole new HUGE initiative to make as big of a difference with that $100 as she possibly can.</b> (You can read the <a href="http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/inspiration/win-a-ticket-to-world-domination-summit-and-change-the-lives-of-hundreds-of-entrepreneurs-with-one-hundred-dollars/" target="_blank">post on her blog</a> about how she came to the decision.)<br />
<br />
<b>This initiative is called <span style="font-size: large;">$100 Change</span>.</b> It's designed to change hundreds of entrepreneurs' lives and to show people that they can achieve major change in their lives and the lives of others with $100.<br />

<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
Did you know that <b>today is Get to Know Your Customers Day</b>? Well, it is. We actually celebrate this day 4 times every year. For Designs by Debi, <b>I want to make this one extra special... but I need YOUR help.</b><br />
<br />
As you probably have seen, there hasn't been a whole lot of activity on the website. That's because I've been working on making it better. Unfortunately, there's a lot of programming involved and it's taking longer than expected because, as I explained in my last post, <b>Niko is very sick. As a matter of fact, he'll be having surgery soon to remove the mass in his belly.</b> So, for now, the website renovation is on hold. I've been focusing on fulfilling orders and direct customer care because that always has to come first. So the website will wait a bit longer.<br />
<br />
But that also <b>gives us a wonderful opportunity!</b> The jewelry I design is for YOU. The <a href="http://www.designs-by-debi.com/" target="_blank">Designs by Debi website</a> is for YOU. So I'm hoping to turn this delay into something productive. <b>I'm hoping that you will take a minute (or as long as you want... I LOVE hearing from you!), and leave a comment below or send me an email or write on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DesignsByDebi" target="_blank">Designs by Debi Facebook wall</a>... and tell me what YOU want to see.</b><br />
<br />
<b>What do you like? What don't you like? </b><br />
<br />
<b>What should I keep around? What should go? What would you like to see added?</b><br />
<br />
<b>What would make the site, blog and/or newsletter better for YOU?</b><br />
<br />
And, just in case you need a little incentive, <b>there will be a giveaway attached to this.</b> It doesn't matter how or where you choose to give me your input, I will be writing it down or printing it out and, once Niko is well enough for me to continue the site renovation, <b>I will select a set of jewelry and one of you will win it. </b>Sound good? Ok then, share your thoughts with me.<br />
<br />
And I not only want to get to know you today, I also want to say <b>THANK YOU!</b> That's why I chose a magenta rose to make that image for you, and why the rose in my logo is magenta... dark pink roses symbolize appreciation... and <b>I don't think there are words to express how much I appreciate you!</b><br />
<br />
Without you, there would be no Designs by Debi at all. <b>Thank you for your purchases.</b> Thank you <b>for trusting me to design precious keepsakes for you.</b> Thank you <b>to all of you over the past month who so graciously told me to "take care of Niko. He comes first. I can wait."</b> And thank you <b>to all of you who have sent prayers and well-wishes to us</b> and those of you <b>who donated to Niko's fundraiser.</b> All of these things mean more than I can say. In a time when so many people are struggling, <b>I feel truly blessed for the business (and repeat business!) that you've given me.</b> Thank you SO very much!<br />
<br />
<b>Ok, now get sharing!!</b> I want Designs by Debi to be a truly awesome experience for you always!<br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">It's Take Your Dog to Work Day!</span></b> Did you get to take your dog to work? Are you one of the lucky ones who gets to take their dog to work every day? I'd love you to <b>share your photos and stories with me!</b><br />
<br />
As most of you know, I'm an Eskie Mom. And, since I run my company from home, I'm very blessed because I get to have my dog at work with me every day! I must admit it is wonderful :)<br />
<br />
<b>Niko is my little assistant.</b> He's by my side or behind my chair whether I'm working on the computer or making jewelry. Here he is in the dining room overseeing a jewelry-making session...<br />

And he's hysterical... if I get up for any reason, he moves under the table like it's his duty to guard everything. Here he is with his best "don't-even-think-about-touching-my-Mommy's-stuff" face on...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He's so adorable and he's the light of my life. I love the fact that I can have him with me while I'm working. <b>Right now though, I'm devastated because Niko is sick and we could really use your help.</b></div>

<h3>
Letting You Know Why I'm Scarce Lately</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Forgive me for going off-topic today, but I need to share something so you know that I haven't just disappeared. You may notice I'm not online as much right now and I want you to know why. This is my Eskie... Niko... and this very special little boy is the reason for my absence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Nthc5NSvZBk/T-TjA1M9VEI/AAAAAAAAA4U/3Am3VQjf45U/s1600/niko-and-his-monkey-wo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Nthc5NSvZBk/T-TjA1M9VEI/AAAAAAAAA4U/3Am3VQjf45U/s320/niko-and-his-monkey-wo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On Wednesday, June 13th I had to rush my precious Niko to the vet; unsure if he possibly had stepped on something or hurt himself; thinking maybe a splinter in his paw, a leg cramp or a dislocated knee or hip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I carried him in and Dr Jeff examined his leg. Definite injury... he blew the cruciate ligament in his left hind knee. That was terrible news, but it got a whole lot worse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As Dr Jeff was checking him out further, he said he felt something in his belly and that, before we deal with the knee, he needed to get x-rays to look at his belly and get some labwork.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When he brought me to look at the x-rays, my jaw dropped. He said "He has a mass in his belly." I was devastated. It felt like someone had shot me in the heart. He said it appears to be in his spleen, but we would need to get an ultrasound to be sure what we're dealing with so we scheduled one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We need to deal with the mass before he can have the surgery he needs on his knee. So all he could do for his knee right now is give him pain meds and told me to try to keep him off it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He needs to be monitored 24/7 for signs of a rupture and brought in immediately if I see any of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He also found a bladder stone that is too large for him to pass. That will also have to be dealt with. It's 3rd on the priority list... unless it moves and obstructs his urethra.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He had his ultrasound and orthopedic work-up on Wednesday. We can't make any decisions until we get the pathology results of the fine needle aspiration they did during the ultrasound. And when they did his knee x-rays, they found cruciate ligament tears in BOTH knees. That makes things a whole lot more complicated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Any way we look at it Niko needs surgery... at least 2, more likely 3 or 4. Right now he's home with me on 24/7 observation and pain meds while we wait.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
Niko and I Would Appreciate Your Help</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I decided, at friends' urging, to do fundraising for Niko. However, I cannot just take money or ask people to donate for auctions like we see all the time on Facebook. <b>I wanted something better... a way that I could reward people and make their lives easier for helping me save Niko's life.</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm quite likely looking at well over $10,000 of vet bills before we're done and Niko's already had surgery twice in the last year. But he has been there for me through some really bad stuff so <b>I have to try everything</b> I can to save him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I started <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Team-Niko/363269863739062" target="_blank">a page for Niko on Facebook</a> so family, friends and supporters can follow our journey and get updates on his progress. I share photos and post updates as I get them. I also entered <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/team-niko/nikos-story/364290533636995" target="_blank">a note on his page telling our story</a> if you want to read more than the bits I've written in this post. I hope you'll come over, 'like' his page and join <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Team-Niko/363269863739062" target="_blank">Team Niko</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I also set up a fundraiser for him on GiveForward.com called <a href="http://www.giveforward.com/teamniko" target="_blank">Team Niko</a>. You can find it here... <a href="http://www.giveforward.com/teamniko">http://www.giveforward.com/teamniko</a>. I posted our story, some photos and updates there as well. And there's a GiveForward widget on the right side of my blog.</div>

<h3>
Giving Back</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
As I said, I cannot just take and it was very hard for me to ask for help. <b>So, I need to give thanks by giving back. And I'm doing that two ways...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">It's National Flip Flop Day!! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
I LOVE flip flops!! I have tons of them... oh I dunno somewhere probably around 100 pairs. Nope... no joke. Not only do I have every color, I have shades of every color because of course they need to match whatever I'm wearing... LOL ;-)<br />
<br />
But I do live in New England right now so unfortunately my flip flops have to get put away for half the year and my hibiscus (another of my favorite things) are afraid of the cold too :-(<br />
<br />
But check this out.... My friend Faye and her daughter Lesli over at <a href="http://yeoldechandler.com/" target="_blank">Ye Olde Chandler</a> are introducing a 2 new products today...<br />

Aren't they sooooooo cute?? I'm VERY excited because this means that I'm going to be able to have flip flops and hibiscus all year long (even if it's just in the soap dishes in my house for now)!! </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are so new, they're not even up on the <a href="http://yeoldechandler.com/" target="_blank">Ye Olde Chandler website</a> yet! They're putting together a list of their soap-safe scents and starting off with Hawaiian Suntan and Tropical Romance. I have them both and they smell wonderful :) They're also available in different colors....</div>

If you want to order some of these amazing soaps for yourself, just send them an email and you can talk scents and colors one-on-one! You can email Faye and Lesli at info(at)yeoldechandler(dot)com and you can stop by their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ye-Olde-Chandler-Handmade-Candles/133648728519" target="_blank">Ye Olde Chandler Facebook page</a>, too. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The hibiscus soap is $5 and the flip flop soap is $4... a great deal because these are large soaps! The hibiscus soap is 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick! The flip flop soap is 4 1/4 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide and well over 1/2 inch thick... and that's not counting the straps and hibiscus! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They make great gifts! And you can use them for wedding favors, shower favors... lots of cute possibilities here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you're having a great summer so far! Enjoy!</div>

I know that a lot of you who follow this blog own your own businesses so I want to share a couple things you may find helpful.<br />
<br />
<b>First</b>, I've started a business called <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">aWAEHQn dreams Success Coaching</a> specifically geared toward Women Artisan Entrepreneurs and I'd like to invite you to join my community :)<br />
<br />
My mission is to give women entrepreneurs the knowledge and tools they need to successfully make a living from their passion and run their small business on a small budget while also empowering them to grow as big as they want to be and live the life they have imagined.<br />
<br />
I'm starting with a <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aWAEHQndreams" target="_blank">facebook page</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/aWAEHQndreams" target="_blank">twitter account</a> and hope to turn this into a bustling community with answers to all the challenges... business and personal... that you face as a woman entrepreneur.<br />
<br />
I just started on March 30th and I have so much to share. My fingers can't type fast enough...LOL. So, if you have or want to start your own business, <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">hop on over</a> to join the journey! You can catch up on the blog posts, read <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html" target="_blank">About Me and How aWAEHQn dreams Came to Be</a> and take a look at <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/p/explanation-of-la-carte-pricing-and.html" target="_blank">how it will help you and what I have to offer</a>. And please take a sec to say hello and introduce yourself and your business to the community :)<br />
<br />
<b>Second</b>... If you're looking for an all-inclusive business program to join, there's a fabulous one launching right now called <a href="http://wemastermind.com/?ap_id=DebiAuger" target="_blank">WE Mastermind</a>. (You probably already noticed the pretty ad over there on the right side and now you can learn what it's all about!) It's put on by two leading online entrepreneurs, Natalie Sisson and Natalie MacNeil. So, if you want to build a thriving online business doing what you love, take a look at the <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/p/want-more-dream-big.html" target="_blank">Want More? Dream BIG?</a> page over on the aWAEHQn dreams blog to find out all about it.<br />
<br />
Don't wait though... there's a limit to how many women they can accept into the program. Take some time between now and Sunday to invest in yourself, make an informed decision about whether this program is right for you and learn a whole lot for FREE while you do it.
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wemastermind.com/?ap_id=DebiAuger" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="WE Mastermind" border="0" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5596952/WE%20Mastermind/killercoaching%20125%20x%20230.jpg" /></a>
Go read all about <a href="http://wemastermind.com/?ap_id=DebiAuger" target="_blank">WE Mastermind</a>, the things you'll learn, and the opportunities you'll get. And look at the testimonials from women who have done the program. Yes, your truly is one of them ;) As you're reading this over, consider whether you think it would help you get to that perfect life you've been picturing.<br />
<br />
* MOST IMPORTANT * Please follow this link to sign up and <a href="http://www.wemastermind.com/webinar?ap_id=DebiAuger" target="blank">be my guest at the WE Mastermind webinar this Sunday</a>! It's being held at 4pm EDT on Sunday, May 13th. Now I know... it's Mother's Day here in the US. But, trust me, you don't want to miss it. Even if you end up deciding that <a href="http://wemastermind.com/?ap_id=DebiAuger" target="_blank">WE Mastermind</a> is not for you, you'll learn a great deal just by attending the webinar itself and it's FREE for you to attend. So, please take advantage of the opportunity.<br />

<br />
Ok I'm very excited... I can finally show you the piece I mentioned last time!! I decided last fall to add stamped metal jewelry to my repertoire because I LOVE doing custom designs and adding this option gives me soooooo much more freedom to do that for you! You saw my Island Girl test piece which was the very first time I tried stamping:<br />

<br />
Well, I'm very happy to say I did my first commissioned stamped metal design!!! I can't share just yet though because it was purchased as a gift and I don't want to ruin anyone's surprise so I have to wait a bit :) I think I'm going to make something else tomorrow, too. It's fun!<br />
<br />
There is something I want to share with you though. I know a lot of you probably own your own business... or maybe want to... so I want to take an opportunity to tell you that I've started a new business and welcome you to join me because it may interest and help you.<br />
<br />
Oh don't worry I'm not closing Designs by Debi. I'm still doing jewelry. As a matter of fact I'm doing some re-focusing, adding some new product lines and taking some things away, and refreshing and improving the website and blog at the same time. It's currently a work in progress :)<br />
<br />
I've started aWAEHQn dreams Success Coaching with a <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aWAEHQndreams" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> and Twitter account (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/aWAEHQndreams" target="_blank">@aWAEHQndreams</a>) for now, although there are many more awesome things to come. WAEHQ stands for Women Artisan Entrepreneurs HQ. My mission is to give women entrepreneurs the knowledge and tools they need to successfully make a living from their passion and run their small business on a small budget while also empowering them to grow as big as they want to be and live the life they have imagined.<br />
<br />
You can read all about where the inspiration for the business came from, why I'm doing it (hint = it's all about YOU), what I have to offer you and a whole lot more over on the <a href="http://awaehqndreams.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>. I hope you'll join me! And please spread the word if you have friends who have or want to start their own business!<br />
<br />
Thanx much! I'll be back asap to show you that stamped metal piece :)<br />

<br />
Well, I FINALLY did it. I finally made time to try metal stamping today!<br />
<br />
I started buying tools and design stamps last fall because I decided I wanted to add stamped metal jewelry to what I offer at Designs by Debi. I'm fine tuning the focus of my jewelry business and getting ready to upgrade the website. Quite a few new product lines will be added, and there are some things I've decided not to offer anymore.<br />
<br />
Stamped metal jewelry is something I've decided to add. It works with my love for designing and making personalized, meaningful jewelry.<br />
<br />
Well, I finally tried it today. Here is my very first attempt at stamped metal jewelry.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6477ps9z7I/T5DCIdLhMbI/AAAAAAAAAr4/5nhf8Wc3yGU/s1600/island-girl-1st-metal-stamping-design-19apr12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6477ps9z7I/T5DCIdLhMbI/AAAAAAAAAr4/5nhf8Wc3yGU/s320/island-girl-1st-metal-stamping-design-19apr12.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Obviously I need a whole lot more practice...LOL... but not bad for a first time! I'll be practicing, learning more techniques and adding to my stamp collection so I'll keep you posted and share my progress with you as I go along :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's FuN and I'm really looking forward to doing more of it and having the ability to offer truly personalized designs beyond what can be done with sterling silver letter blocks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do you think? Do you like stamped metal jewelry? What do you or don't you like about it? And, most of all, what would you like to see??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll be checking back for input ;) Have a great night!</div>

<br />
Wow, it's been awhile! So sorry. Things got a bit out of control here. My dog, Niko, had surgery, then my Dad had major surgery and then I got sick. I haven't had time to do anything more than keep up with orders... and I thank you very much for all of them ♥ Things are calming down a bit so I'll have more time.<br />
<br />
I'll be making up for my absence with some giveaways on Facebook so keep an eye on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DesignsByDebi" target="_blank">Designs by Debi Facebook page</a> ;)<br />
<br />
I've had a few of my items included in some Member Collections on ArtFire lately and it inspired me to create one of my own today to cheer on my Patriots and I thought I'd share it with you....<br />

I hope you'll be enjoying the game tomorrow too! And, of course, I hope the Patriots bring home the Lombardi Trophy for Myra... it would be a perfect end to a season dedicated to such a special lady.<br />
<br />
Go Patriots!!<br />

See you soon with more great news!<br />

</span></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, today is the last day of Exploring Handmade. I scheduled it to end today so I could put together a nice re-cap of all the artisans you've met along our journey and have it ready just in time for you to do your </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cyber Monday shopping :)</span></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'd like to thank everyone who is attending this event, supporting the artisans and shopping with these small businesses this holiday season...and every day... </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>we're here year round for your gift-giving pleasure... </b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">even when the gift is a treat for yourself ;) </span></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I truly hope that I've been able to show you that the notion of handmade from the old days... construction paper, Elmer's glue, popsicle sticks, etc... is SO very far from what handcrafted means today.</span></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'd also like to thank the artisans who participated in the event.

</span></div><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've only been able to show you a small sampling of the full range of talent that these wonderful artisans possess so please visit thier websites, studios and social media sites to see all the wonderful treasures they have to offer you. Most artisans do custom work as well, so you have endless possiblities within this reference. Remember though... custom work takes time and an artisan's time fills much more quickly at this time of year, so don't wait until the last minute :)</span></div><div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
