Can you believe that these beautiful ornaments from www.michiganeggconnection.com are made from real egg shells! Although made from egg shells, they all have coatings on them that make them just as strong as any glass ornament and some are even stronger than glass! Don't be afraid of these beauties. They will sparkle and show so well on your tree. There are glittered ornaments, silk print ornaments, smaller ones with other designs on them…. And all at wonderful, affordable prices. Start a new tradition and add egg art to your decorating or gift giving this year.
Another treasure at www.michiganeggconnection.com is the egg art pins. They are cut from thick shells called rhea eggs. Then the design is done with colored epoxy on front and a thick coat of it on back, so they are very strong and safe to wear. And also just added are pendants and earrings! So beautiful.
They all make great gifts… and there is so much more to see too.

Frosty The Snowman...
I would sing the song to you, but I will spare you the torture. Here is what I am so happy about...

Frosty along with some of his other "friends" can be found in the HOLIDAY section under Christmas Jewelry. Each of these designs are only available for a limited time since I have the beads made when an order is received.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Breast cancer is very near and dear to my heart...my Grandmother lost her battle to this horrible disease when I was a little girl. Unfortunately I was so young that I don't have any memory of her. Medicine has come a LONG way and they are making huge strides in the treatment of breast cancer. Early detection is best so PLEASE *pretty please with sugar on top* go get a mammogram! Because of my family history I got my first *baseline* mammogram when I was only 25 and continue to get them every 5 years until I am told otherwise. Thankfully I have been blessed to have my screenings turn out negative for cancer...but others are not so fortunate. Show your support to all women that have battled, are battling, and have lost their lives to breast cancer by wearing pink ribbons all month long.
I have a whole section on my website that is dedicated to "Awareness" with several designs for breast cancer. Visit it HERE. Also...click on the button in that section and help to give free mammograms to those women that are not able to afford them.

CONTEST!
I am having a contest because I am going to be making some changes to my website!
So many of you have purchased jewelry from me for yourself, friends, or your children. I would like to share pictures of you/your children wearing my jewelry with my past and future customers! I am going to pick 3 winners, one in each category..."Beautiful Baby", "Girly Girl", and "Marvelous Mommy" to receive a great surprise gift. So...get all "gussied" up and send me a picture to YJVG2002@AOL.COM making sure that the jewelry is in clear view. Be sure not to get too much background as this will take away from the most important part...YOU! Outside pictures are always great...the lighting is almost always perfect too. *Pictures may be edited for optimization* If you would like to include a comment I will include that too if it works with what I am going to do. Of course your picture could be plastered all over my website so if you don't want you or your child to be viewed by LOTS of people please do not enter the contest. I may want to put a name with the picture *only first names though* so please include that as well. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY SEPTEMBER 30TH. An email will be sent to the winner within 3 days of contest closing. I am in the process of creating a page on my website with the details of the contest...this is also where the winners will be announced.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU....this is going to be fun!

Got Shades?
Check out this sale....you won't want to miss it! Shannon with QT Sunglasses not only has cute and trendy sunglasses, but also has prices that all of us LOVE. Then the coupon....25%....WOW!
I don't know if you are anything like me, but I HATE to spend money on sunglasses...probably because my kids always find a way to break them. Like yesterday, I had these CUTE sunglasses, brown with lots of bling *because I have a "thing" for bling*....and they were cheap...you can't beat that! We were at Sea World, I had taken them off for a brief second and Sweet little L grabbed them and SNAP...broken right in the middle. Yes, I could have probably fixed them with glue *dork* or looked like revenge of the nerds and taped them, but I chunked them in the trashcan.
Needless to say, I will be paying a visit to Shannon too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It was 4 years ago that I started my business. I first started by selling to friends/family and then on eBay. I didn't seem to be getting anywhere so I took a big risk and opened an online boutique with yahoo and designed it myself using one of the free templates they offer and a logo that I had designed. My son G named the business because he would say to people wearing my jewelry "hey...is that one of MY MOMMYS BRACELETS?". I worked really hard getting it just the way I wanted and got my website to rank pretty high in the search engines.
Then I met Surjet from Tea's Treasures. She pointed me in the right direction by giving me valuable information about WAHMshoppes *my hosting provider* and about buying a custom template to change the look of my website. I took her advice, joined WAHMshoppes, and found Melanie at Auction Add-Ons that had the PERFECT template for my website. Then the work began all over again...listing products, designing new ones, trying to teach myself how to use the store and how to get to the top of google and other search engines. Once my business started to grow I decided that I needed to improve it even more. So, I had my pictures optimized by Kirsten at Online Image Solutions.
Now business is better than ever and can only get bigger and better! I am currently making more improvements to my website *thanks to Melissa at Where To Start Websites* and hope that you enjoy some of the changes. My business is what it is today because of many people...and because of you, my loyal customers.
Thank you everyone :hugs:

Our summer vacation...
Since my oldest G finished kindergarten with perfect behavior and wonderful progress/test scores we promised him a vacation. Since he loves to learn about everything and anything we thought the ultimate vacation close to home would be Houston, Texas, home of the Johnson Space Center *NASA*. He had a blast! He learned alot and was just simply fascinated with the moon rover...of course.
Then it was the dreaded 4 1/2 hour drive home....not too bad actually. L slept most of the way and G watched movies and played his leapster. I was so glad to be home....it was a great vacation though.

When it rains it pours...
Ok...I mainly use this blog for "business" and fun freebies. Well, today I need to vent...my poor babies are so sick. The DRAMA started Friday when I went to G's *my oldest son* school to give him some medicine b/c he was having problems with his allergies/asthma. I walk into the cafeteria and he turns around to look at me and his right eye is full of nasty yellow/green gunk...OMG it's PINK EYE! So, I take him home and start him on antibiotics ASAP. Then he starts to get a fever, not just a little 99.5 fever, but it was over 103 and all he wanted was to go to sleep...and he did, after Tylenol of course.
Now it's Saturday...both kids are now running fever and G still has a nasty eye. Thankfully L *my youngest* doesn't have pink eye yet. So...we deal with the fevers all through the day and into the night. Meanwhile G's asthma is not too hot...so he is pumped full of steroids.
Sunday...G wanted to go fishing BAD and had been waiting all week. So...he goes and all hell breaks loose...he is stung by a wasp *he is allergic* and my husband doesn't have the epipen, but does have benadryl and gives him a dose...then come the ant bites...and worse yet, a tick on his "well you know". Pink eye has now started in the other eye and the asthma is still bad. BUT...after all that he caught a HUGE catfish and was so happy.......made it all worth it. L now mind you is still running fevers and has so much snot that I had to open another box of kleenex. BUT...no sign of pink eye.
Now yesterday...both boys have fevers, coughing and a sore throat! So I pack them in the car...drive to the doc *an hour away* while they poke a HUGE qtip down their throats to give me the news I already knew.....STREP, BOTH OF THEM! Nice....
So, they are on antibiotics and G continues having problems with asthma today. He has stayed home from school now 2 days and I am not too sure if he will be going tomorrow either. He has lost his voice *not such a bad thing* and L is getting that way.....you mean I am going to have some quiet??????
My husband and I have not slept in days...we are beat.
Thanks for the vent....back to your regularly scheduled program.......................LOL!

Between orders *thanks y'all*, taxes, 2 of the most active kids on the planet, my part time job with my Mom, and just being Mommy/Wife I am pooped! So...now that taxes are done and orders have slowed a bit, as they usually do this time of year, I can play on my blog. YAY! I have a few new things coming up soon that I am excited about...first I am adding some new baby bracelets including a precious BIG SIS/LIL SIS bracelet set. Second I am adding some handstamped jewelry, it's going to be FABULOUS and I can't wait! Have a great night...until tomorrow!
