Review of my Etsy Store and Giveaway

Rachel did a Fabulous job with her Review of my store. I am very pleased, she is a Really GREAT writer. Thank you Rachel : )
It's fun to read what people are posting re. what they think about my store. I sent 2 bottle cap pendant/necklaces for her darling girls and in return I have gotten a lot of New exposure. Definitely a Win/Win situation !
Contest ends Feb. 21 at Midnight.

Angels on Stage

I received a request for a Custom Etsy Order yesterday. I feel honored to be creating pendants for this Fabulous Group of people and just wish I lived near them in Northern California so that I could attend their upcoming performance of the Jungle Book. Please click on "Angels on Stage" above and it will take you over to their site. Thanks so much Nina for choosing me to make these for you.

I think it's amazing how we grow so much as people when we have a child with a disease or dissability. We learn not to "Sweat the Small Stuff" and Learn to Turn negatives in to positives. I have tried to Teach this to Cameron as well and he is an Awesome Student. He tells me from time to time that as much as Diabetes Sucks he is so glad that I don't work outside the home anymore. We are always talking about how if it werent for his Diabetes we would do this or that differently. I am so proud of him and think our family is stronger and closer beacause of him. Don't get me wrong there are bad days with tears and anger but the good definitely outweigh the bad.

More Diabetes Awareness Pendants

These are a few more I have finished. Cam's Favorite is Diabetes Sucks !

New Friends

I was recently contacted by a Blogger named Rachel http://screamandhug.blogspot.com/
She asked me if I would be interested in a partership of sorts. I donate products for giveaways every now and then and she does a review of my products on her blog. Now she is a real blogger ! I checked it out and she writes all the time. Oh and I forgot to say that she is Local which I love, She is in West Jordan.

I have added some recent pics of my work. You will probably be thinking "2 of those are not clay ?" That's right, My latest addiction is bottlecaps, scrabble tiles and dominoes. I call it crafting ADD, I Love trying new things and these are so much fun to make. I always go back to clay, but for now I am content with these.

Happy 4th - 2009

Happy 4th of July !

I am so grateful for all our Brave Men and Women serving in Iraq as well as other areas in the world ~ Thank you for protecting our FREEDOM !

The kids are out of school now as of last Thursday. Lacey will be starting Junior High as a 7th grader at Hunter Jr. High when she goes back to school in August and Cam will return at the end of this month as a 5th Grader. He is looking forward to being the only Paschall at Valley Crest at not having all of Lacey's friends scream out his name and give him hugs. Honestly I think he will miss them.

Mike got the boat out yesterday, checked out everything, made a couple of small repairs and cleaned it up. We are hoping to have it in the water in a couple of weeks.

Lacey will be at Girls camp all next week and Cam and I have plans to see movies, go to Hollywood Connection and the Centennial Park pool.

Next Month is Cruefest 2 and the Walk to Cure Diabetes at Wheeler Farm.
If you have made a Donation to JDRF ~ Thank you very much. I have had so much going on that I have not gotten Thank you cards out, but please know that we are very grateful !
I have tons of inventory and plan to have a fundraiser ~ I just need to set a date.

I hope you all have a fun and safe 4th of July !

My First Sale !

WooHoo I made my first sale yesterday on FeltCHicks ! It was a custom order for a watermelon Snap Hair Clip. I am giving myself a pat on the back because i did it in less than a week of being open. I just hope it continues that way.
I just listed the cutest flip flop keychain/chapstick holder. I added velcro to the top to keep items safely stashed inside.

Felt CHicks

I am so excited that I have another ETSY store now ! It's almost up and running ~ YAY
For about a month now I really have not been feeling to well (Gallstone issues) I have rarely been up to sitting in my studio and working with clay, so I have been going a bit crazy. Anybody that has spent any time with me knows I love all kinds of crafts and have tried many.
I needed to think of something I could do to pass the time since I am no good and just sitting and watching TV or even just sitting still, so I started making things with felt and they turned out really cute. My partner in Crime (Jade) ...I mean crafts will be joining me soon, making Felt creations for the Felt Chicks store. I am making snap clips, headbands, keychains and more with them. I have checked out what others are doing on ETSY with Felt and there is tons competition with this type of item, so hopefully mine (and Jades)will be good enough to stand out and attract buyers. If not I guess we will just have a bunch of cute felt items to give out as Gifts ~ LOL

This was my first Alice pendant from Twilight (I have created several Edward, Bella and Jacob)and I think it turned out really pretty. The silver plated bail makes it ready to hang on any necklace. Available on ETSY * Search KBCC

I Have been really productive ~ YaY !

I feel so much better about myself when I am productive ! Yesterday I spent quite a while cleaning up my studio and even did a little rearanging. I also go caught up on some housework and still had some time to play with clay. This morning I got some listings done on ETSY and hope do get a few more listed later. I am really pleased with how my first ever bottle cap pendants turned out. If not later today definetely tomorrow. For now the weather is nice and I want to get out and enjoy it with the kids !

So far so Good.....

I am happy with my decision to re~open my ETSY store. In less than a week I have sold 2 items and I am pretty happy about that : ) I forgot just how quick and easy the listing process was, due to a far more simple layout. Another plus is definitely the cost to list !

I just listed(on ETSY) a M2MG (Made to match Gymboree) Jungle Gem Polymer clay Dog tag. I have not made any of these in awhile but was inspired by their latest line because the monkey is so darn cute. I think it turned out pretty cute.
SOLD

My Etsy Store

Due to my annoyance with Ebay, I decided to re ~ open my Etsy store. Selling on 2 different sites had gotten to be to much for me about a year or so ago and I went back to strictly selling on Ebay. Besides my Ebay annoyance I have recently noticed that more and more people are becoming familiar with Etsy. When I had first started with them very few people had ever heard of it. Hopefully I will be as successful this time around as I had been before ! FYI my stores name is KBCC/Kellee's Beaded and Clay Creations. You can check it out by clicking on "My Etsy Store" or with the link on the right side of the page.

Here it is.... My Twilight Bracelet

I just got my bracelet listed, I just love it. If you'd like to see more pics just click on the title (Here it is....My Twilight Bracelet)and it will take you directly to my Ebay listing.

Twilight Charm Bracelet

Chances are if you are not a Twilight fan you know someone who is. Due to the popularity of the books and movies I decided to create a Twilight movie themed charm braclet. I have not taken any pics yet, but will post some soon. I am really pleased with how it turned out and will be listing it on Ebay later on today. I started it off with 5 of my own Polymer clay image charms featuring images of; The Twilight Book Cover, Edward, 2 Edward & Bella & Wolf in front of the moon. I then added pewter charms and Sparkling Swarovski Crystals. It is Truly a OOAK/One of a Kind.

Lucky Ladybug Lanyard/ID Badge Holder

I just listed this fun Lanyard today. I love making these but don't make them as often as I used to because I don't purchase as many beads as I once did. Now that Spring is here I was in the mood to make some Ladybugs and once they were finished I knew I had to make this. I even made a matching ring to go along with it. If you want like to see more pics it's listed on Ebay, just search KBCC.

Sassy Swirls Refillable Pen

This Fun and Funky Refillable Pen is listed in my ETSY store(Search KBCC to check it out)SOLD. I love making these pens and I have gotten so much positive feedback from my customers ! I think the Swarovski Crystals that dangle from the top make them Extra special and Unique.

Do you Love American Idol ?

SOLD

I have to admit that I Love American Idol....in fact I call myself an "American Idol Geek". I was so sad to see Megan Joy leave 2 weeks ago and so Happy that Matt was saved by the judges last night. Later today I will be listing an image Pendant on Ebay with the face of the American Idol contestant that I predict will win ..... Adam Lambert. I Love Allison as well but think Adam will be the next American Idol.
