Personalized Keepsake Bracelets Make a Perfect Mother's Day Gift
Hello!
I know that for many of us this is Easter weekend, but Mother's Day is also not far behind. Have you gotten something for your Mom yet? Still trying to decide what to get? My Personalized Keepsake Bracelets make the perfect Mother's Day gift. They come in 5 Designs, 12 Styles, 90 possible bead combinations, a range of prices and can be a single strand or up to four strands. Choices, choices, choices!!
You can find them on my website in the Personalized Keepsake Bracelets Boutique. You can also find them in my ArtFire Studio (look under Studio Sections on the right side ~ the top 5 choices are the Keepsake Bracelets in various designs). Want a quick peek at each? Ok...
The first design is the Name/Birthstone Keepsake Bracelet. Here's a sample of one of the Isabella Styles:
If you're not sure what to do for a Mother, Grandmother, Nana or Godmother for Mother's Day stop over and take a look... one of these bracelets might be just the thing. They're a wonderfully meaningful gift that will be treasured for a lifetime. The easiest place to start is with the Personalized Keepsake Bracelet Ordering Guide that I put together because it will guide you through selecting the design, choosing your options, price lists, etc. You can check out the Personalized Keepsake Bracelets Gallery to see some of the ones I've done and get ideas. And, of course, if you have questions or need help, I'm right here..... Contact Me anytime.
Have a Happy Easter!

Follow Me As I Create a Custom Jewelry Set for a Maui Wedding ~ Part 2
Hello!
Ready to see the spec sheets for the wedding jewelry? In addition to a lengthy email explaining my ideas, I sent these spec sheets with photos to make it easier for Julz to visualize her options and make her selections.
The first page shows the original bracelet and earrings that she saw labelled with my ideas for hers:
The second page has photos of some of her options for adding white beads into the design, each strung with four different colors of seed beads:
The third page shows more seed bead choices, natural shells, clasp choices, earring style choices and a dolphin charm:
The last page is a copy of the necklace design I sketched labelled and showing different design elements I thought of using:
We continued discussions by email to fine tune the design, more photos were sent when I found beads I thought she would like to use and once all was agreed on, I ordered the parts I didn't have in stock and started stringing the designs on temp wire to get her approval before starting the final product.
Next time I'll be showing you the photos that were sent for Julz's approval...
Hope you're enjoying following the process. Thanx for reading :)

Follow Me As I Create a Custom Jewelry Set for a Maui Wedding
Hi!
Since I specialize in custom orders, I thought you might find it interesting and helpful to follow me through a custom design project and see how easy it is to have me design jewelry for you. I just completed a wonderful project... a necklace, bracelet and earrings set for a wedding.

We chatted by email about colors, beads and design elements... gathering all the info I needed to begin. I was excited about the project and ideas just flowed. Before I knew it I was sketching, stringing together samples and putting spec sheets together for her.
In my next post, I'll be showing you the spec sheets I put together..............
I hope you enjoy following this project :)

Calming Ocean Waves Bracelet Featured in Collection on ArtFire
Hello!
I'm so excited to have my "Calming Ocean Waves" bracelet featured in this collection on ArtFire today! Thanks to AuntiemBoutique for including me :)
Isn't it great? The colors are wonderful. I love the ocean and the photos she included in the collection are beautiful... I can hear those ocean waves. Very soothing collection I must say.
The bracelet she included is actually one of my Jewelry for Charity Bracelets. I made that one to raise money for a man in my community who was stabbed in the back for no reason by a 16 year old boy. This man who was the picture of health is now a paraplegic, confined to a wheelchair in excrutiating pain. The bracelet is still available for sale. You can find out more about it on my website: http://www.designs-by-debi.com/jewelry-for-charity-piece-aug-2010.html.
Well, I'm off to watch a rerun of Hawaii Five-0 .....anybody watch it? I love, love, love it!! I look forward to it every Monday. The whole cast is great but seriously.... Alex O'Loughlin and Hawaii... could there be a better combination?!?! OMG!
Need I say more??

"Sending Healing Aloha" ~ April 2011 Jewelry for Charity Piece
Hi!
Well, better late than never, I finally got the April Jewelry for Charity Piece up on the website today! It's a beautiful OOAK Hibiscus Lampwork Necklace... yup, necklace this time... first time I do a necklace for a charity piece. AND I did it in gold... another first (I don't tend to do very many designs in gold.... I prefer silver and copper).

AND I did it in gold... another first (I don't tend to do very many designs in gold.... I prefer silver and copper).
I made this piece to raise money for Friends of Keri to help a high school friend of mine who slipped and fell into a pool last summer breaking her neck and leaving her paralyzed from the chest down with only limited use of her shoulders and arms. All the money raised by Friends of Keri goes directly to Keri and her family (husband Kevin, son Kyle and daughter Paige) to help with the extraordinary medical bills and the cost of conversions they've needed to make to their home. You can read more about the necklace and Keri on the April 2011 Jewelry for Charity Piece page on the website.
