Its That Time ~ " Lori Love Ring Giveaway "

I thought today would never come. So many are afraid to join blogs and websites because of spam now that you have to beg them to come. I even offered freebies and it took awhile. I will say I'm very happy with those that have decided to become members of my blog. I hope that everyone did understand that you had to JOIN the blog to win the " Lori Love Ring" and " $20 Gift Certificate to my Artfire Shop". 


First I will announce the winner of the $ 20 Gift Certificate. There was only one person that had someone come and share and say that they were sent So it was easy to pick the winner. The winner is :




Krafty Max

Link to Krafty Max Originals on Facebook

Link to Krafty Max Originals on Artfire

Link to Krafty Max Originals Blog



To all my Blog Members click the link above to see Krafty Max's shop. Her work is amazing, most of her designs are created with an amazing stash of treasures her grandma left her. I'm an owner of one of her beautiful pieces of jewelry. I hope you take the time to stop by her shop and tell her I sent you.

Congratulations, I'm so happy you won and I hope you enjoy shopping in my Artfire Studio.

Please Email me for your $20 Gift Certificate Code






Now for the winner of the " Lori Love Ring"  . Please note I had to wait for 51 people to join because one person joined as ME and there is no link for me to contact that person. I tried several times. So if you are ME?? or the second one that says  Please Join the blog with a name and a link so that next time you may be entered in any giveaways.

For the giveaway I used www.random.org

This seemed to be the most fair way and legal way. I send them the list of blog members in the order they joined, each member having a number with their name. I have to pay for this service so I do not have any choice in who the winner or winners are. The drawing is available to the public view. The winner is per Random.Org :





The winner of your drawing is…

 1st: #41 Lalinda Art Studio



    
Congratulations on the drawing! It was completed on Thursday, 16 August 2012 at 00:55:02 UTC The winner was drawn from a list of 51 entrants using true randomness, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. You will find the permanent record of the drawing here:

On Fire for Handmade!

This Month I joined this wonderful group On Fire For Handmade on Facebook & Etsy. We support each other, advertise for each other and blog about each other. The Leader of the group is wonderful. Everyday she has something new for us, she keeps track of it all( I do not  know how because its a large group). She researches each Artisan and then does a wonderful weekly feature on each member. I had mine last week and I was so honored that so many wonderful people took the time to share my Sites where I sell and Blog. Its so hard to get the word out there that you are selling and creating and this group sure does do that for you.

°º♥º°¨¨ º ¨¨°º♥º°¨¨ º ¨¨°º♥º°¨¨ º ¨¨°º♥º°¨¨ º ¨¨°º♥º°

First I want to Tell a little about the Top Lady :0) . Her name is Anne Hopfer, she is on facebook and is the heart of this wonderful group. Plus she has the time to create and sell. Here is her facebook link :

About the OnFireForHandmade Blog: Wow that is a busy site. Anne just recreated it. Which if you have a blog you know that is not a small task. I'm still figuring things out everyday. I love to blog and love to share my work and other work that I see other Artisans do. Handcrafted Art just amazes me. Its not produced in a factory. Real wonderful people put hours of time and love into each and everything they make. Sadly we are all so underpaid because it is so hard to compete with company's that mass produce. I know that every time I have purchased a handcrafted item it is 100 times better and I'm more proud to wear it and or use it than I am anything I purchased from a regular store. I support and shop Handcrafted now and I'm proud of it. The online shopping world it amazing. I'm handicapped and I just cant shop like I used to so to have access to handcrafted wonderful items is the best. This group has just about everything you can imagine. I like that because were all a bit different and we all support each other. Sorry I got off track there.

Here is the post on the OnFireForHandmade ~ Featured Artisan



http://onfireforhandmade.com/category/featured-artisan/

For the Share the Love ~ Bloggers Unite , Anne and her Staff makes it really easy she does the blog for you. Not for me. I like to do it myself. I love to look at all the artists work and their sites and create my own little blog. So bare with me as I don't follow the rules exactly. I just feel if this group is doing all these amazing things for me. Ten minutes to look up some great information on another artist is not a problem and very fun. So here goes.

A very sore and down couple weeks for me recently have turned wonderful. In many ways throught the love of creating and my creations not only has it brought me joy to create for others but also being acknowledged for those creations is such an amazing thank you. I dont have to win to be happy. Just being notices is an amazing thing. The first great acknowledgment is with one of the challenges I created for. Artbeadscenes monthly challenge for 7000 Bracelets for Hope. That challenge if you remember was Two inspirations 7000 Bracelts for Hope & Pablo Picassos painting "Two Acrobats and A Dog" . As a reminder here are my pieces I created for the challenge and donated to the amazing charity.

My Second Great News for the Month

I reveived an Email today : This is just a small part of it.

copy paste ~

"Hi Kimberly!
We received your beautiful, blue inspired bracelets today, we love them all. I especially love the charms you attached. I think your designs would be wonderful for an upcoming event we are hosting and I'd love to share a few with those attending . Would you be interested in making a few bracelets, for our upcoming Tribute Gala? "  The rest Im saving for the reveal of the bracelets I create :)

This is only part of the exciting email I received. There is more but I want so save the best parts for later :). The email was from the 7000 Bracelets of Hope Director Lisa James. They loved my donations (the four bracelets I sent this month) and they want me to create for a special Gala Event in September. I dont know all the details but they are choosing a few artists for this even to create for the 50 Patient Advocates that are being honored at this event. They want special items created for them and they like my designs. I was so thrilled. What an honor. I was sent an inviation to the event which is held in California . Sadly it is not possible for me to go, but just the thought that they loved my work and wanted me there is such an honor. Even more of an honor they picked my designs with some other artisians handcrafted designs to create for these Honored Advocates. Wow what an honor. So I emailed back happily asking for more details and what they need me to do. Of course I will happily help and create for them. :)  They sent me these new links that go with the Gala Event to add to my site.

Here is just a few Highlights from the Gala Invitaion. It is too large of a file to add and Im not sure I am supposed to share all of it.

Butterflies & Beyond

Im always asked what inspires you. One of my favorite inspirations is:
 ჱܓƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ  Butterflies Inspire Me Daily ჱܓƸӜƷ
Unknown Artist, A walk in a field of butterfly trees, Imagine the inspiration. Amazing!


ჱܓƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ When I Create With Butterflies I Relax and I Truly Feel Peaceful ჱܓƸӜƷ


Butterflies are Breathtaking, Inspiring, Free and Worry Free. Wouldnt it be amazing to be a Butterfly?  Never have to worry about a bad hair day or gas prices. Just lift you wings and fly wherever your heart takes you. Take your time, just glide around, enjoy the simple things around you, smell the flowers. Hmm Maybe we all could learn some things from butterflies.

........

 
ჱܓƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ My New Favorite Butterfly Photo ჱܓƸӜƷ
I am not sure who painted this or where it came from It was in a random group of photos when I was looking for butterflies a few months back in butterfly clip art. Its lovely. If anyone knows anything about it let me know. I would love a print. It reminds me of my daughter Ashley when she was little. We went to Sea World and it was so hot her hair turned all curly like this. She is beautiful just like this fairy and the butterflies.

ჱܓƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ My First Favorite Butterfly Picture ჱܓƸӜƷ


This photo means alot to me. Everytime I look at it, it reminds me of my sister. She is an angel in heaven. She passed away in a car accident in 1997. She love lilacs and these look like lilacs. Both of us like butterflys amongh other things. The funny thing about lilacs is. She loved them but I used to wear lilac deodorant, teen spirit used to have a lilac one and she hated it. She said the smell of it ruined the smell of pretty flower. LOL  So when I smell or see lilacs I think of her, how she loved them but hated smelling my pits. LOL. I know right now she is rolling her eyes at me. But I love her bunchs. When I create with butterflies I think of her alot. I dont know why but Im relaxed when I create with them. They bring me peace and they are lovely.

ჱܓƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ My Beautiful Clay Butterfly Colors  ჱܓƸӜƷ



ჱܓƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ All of These Amazing Colors Are Available  ჱܓƸӜƷ

I now make dangle earrings, Stud butterfly earrings, Butterfly rings, Flower rings with butterfly accents, bangle bracelets, Cuff filigree Bracelets, Pendants, Pin/Pendants, Headbands, Filigree Headbands, Beads, Keepsake Tins, Barrettes, Hair Pins, Alligator Hair clips, Butterfly Bobby Pins, pretty much anything you can think of I will put a butterfly on. I love them. So far every customer that has purchased one has come back for many more. I have updated some things. Every artist experiments with glues and glazes. I have finally perfected things to where I am extremely happy. Found the best glue last month. Works awesome. Great new pin/bails for each pendant and pin so you can wear your purchase more often. I love creating. If you have an idea that you want a butterfly on, I love a challenge. Email me and we will create your vision together.
