Jewelry wishes…
It’s about that time again… time to get my holiday to-do list going. Last year, I was making jewelry right up until the end of the season, which added some tension to a fun time for me. So this year, I’m changing my plan.
And I’m offering a discount to entice people to order early… (though, Mike would tell you that I barely charge enough to cover materials anyway and that a discount isn’t a good idea… if he asks, tell him I charged WAY more than I did, ok?)…
Anyone who wants to order a custom jewelry piece from me to give as a holiday gift (to yourself, if you so choose… Santa and the dog have both given me really amazing gifts through the years), leave a comment and let me know.
I’ll send you an email and ask some questions about what you want… a necklace, bracelet, name bracelet, eyeglass chain, earrings, funky wunky, whatever… and some questions about the recipient so we can come up with a really original piece of jewelry.
And if you’ll leave me that comment by Nov. 15, I’ll give you a 10% discount. So, go to Created By Chel to get some ideas of what I’ve done in the past and of what you might want, and leave me a comment. If you want to share the love, just tell other people about the big woohoo Chel discount.
And if you want to work out some sort of swap like my Swap Me, Sell Me, Chai Me, let me know that, too, and we’ll see what we can do.

I’m off work tomorrow! Woohoo!! Now, I’ll pay for that day off at work on Monday, but today, I just don’t care. All I can see are three days of glorious jammie-wearing laziness.
And because the fates are looking kindly upon me, there’s a “What Not to Wear” marathon tomorrow. I love that show! Now, I sometimes think I shouldn’t watch it because it reminds me that I’ve kinda let myself get all slobby with my attire at work. But maybe it’ll be a good incentive to work a little harder with the way I present myself (or course that always makes me wanna go shopping).
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my self-image. We’re scheduled to make a trip to Arkansas in August to see my family, and visits with them always remind me of how overweight and out of shape I am. Now, those are negative thoughts. Of course, rethinking some of how I think about myself and my appearance probably wouldn’t be a bad thing. If you do a search of my blog and ’self-image,’ you’ll come up with quite a little listing.
But Kellie at La Vida Dulce wrote a really good post this week on the numbers game of weights and measures which came at a really good time for me after my little numbers rant last week. She mentions the True Campaign, and it’s an interesting concept. It’s actually a theory that mirrors my own philosophy about other people’s appearances. It’s my own that needs a little acceptance. 
So maybe tomorrow, while I’m wearing my jammies and watching WNTW and smelling the smokey yummy smells coming from Mike’s grill, maybe I’ll go into my closet and see what I can do to update and enhance my current look.
Or go shopping. You know, whichever.
