July, July, July

What can I say? It’s July and it’s hot as all get out in Southwest Louisiana. I have been working diligently on the website and crafting new necklaces. It’s entirely too hot to do anything outside, I go, I feed rabbits and chickens, I come back in. So I figured, with all this work and heat, something should pay off for you as well. The entire month of July, I am running a 20% coupon for all orders placed through the website. The code is “julypromo”, just enter it in the box for the 20% off.

I have also added lots of items to the “sizzling sales” part of the website. Some items are up to 50% off. I am making room for new inventory, so some of these items need a new home.

I also have a new section labeled “Baby Bling”. This section has necklaces for girls ages 2-12. I think you will like what you see.

Also add yourself as a fan of our facebook page. We are 6 people away from our 500th fan and that fan will receive some free bling. After that every 50th fan and the person who referred them will receive free bling. I am also going to give free bling to the person who refers the most fans. Should be lots of fun!!

Also, I will be leaving for a Teacher’s Conference in New Orleans on July 11, 2o10, any orders placed will not be mailed until after July 14, 2010. Please be patient.

Well friends, that is enough for now! Hope you are enjoying the site and the new creations!

It’s been way too long….

Ok, so I have the booth set up for The Lawton Ranch’s “He Paid Your Fees” Barrel Race at West Cal Arena. And you got to love this Louisiana Heat!!! We will be here “sweating” all weekend. Please come and join us. The first barrel race starts tonight at 8:00 p.m. Saturday Exhibition starts at 8:00 with a church service at 8:30 in the arena. The open barrel race starts after church. There will also be a team penning/sorting at 5:00 and then on Sunday there will be a team roping starting at 10:00. The booth will be set up until the end of the Barrel Race on Saturday. I will be going to see my favorite comedian Rodney Carrington tomorrow night. I am debating being here Sunday for the team roping, I am going out of town for a teacher conference (leaving that afternoon). I am just one busy girl.

I have also come to the conclusion that it has been entirely too long since my last blog because it just took me 30 minutes to figure this out.

I will be having some new and exciting items coming for the end of summer. There is just so much that I am overwhelmed and unsure of what I want to create and order. It is so hard to choose. So if anyone has any ideas, I am game to hear them. I tend to order things I would wear, so it will be neat to hear from some of my customers. We also have a facebook fan page and I would like to have some exciting monthly giveaways so if any of you have any ideas for that, I would love to hear them as well.

Well, it’s time to get back to “slinging bling”, if I am gonna be the “Bling Queen” then I gotta get to work.

Thanks again

A small update

diamondbarb — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:48:00 +0000

Hello friends and customers!!!! Things have been very hectic lately. We are finally finishing up our state testing at school, thank goodness that is over tomorrow. This weekend there is a Civil War Reenactment and Knap In at Niblett’s Bluff Park in Vinton, Louisiana. I will not have a booth set up, but will be at the Knap In, the entire weekend. We have so much fun there. My future husband and his dad are flintknappers, aka “arrowhead makers”. I will have some business cards on me though haha! Come check it out, it’s really neat!!!

Now down to business. I have been trying to update the website for over 2 weeks now. I did get earrings, pendants, and rings posted. I also have some items on sale. Hopefully I will get the new pearl necklaces posted soon. I also received some camo mini cell flat wallets that are too cute.

I am currently making a basket to donate to Our Lady School’s auction on April 24, 2010. There will be a zebra wallet with change pouch, a large silver/black ball necklace with matching earrings. And also a matching bracelet. And a zebra shadowbox ring with a crown. If you are interested in these items, please go check them out at the auction.

Our calendar is also very full in May. I am doing 3 events. May 1 I will be at the Little Britches Rodeo at West Cal Arena, May 8-DeRidder H.S.R at the Beauregard Parish Covered Arena, May 15-Lawton Ranch Horse sale at West Cal Arena. Please see the calendar for other dates and times. Plus, on the teacher side, we are getting ready for summer. I should have some new and exciting handmade items while I am on summer vacation.

Blessings,

Kimberly

Our first blog!

Well, this is my first ever blog!! Not really sure what to write, but here goes. I guess most of my customers would like to know what goes on in my little corner of the world. When I am not busy teaching, being a mom, a nurse, a teacher, a counselor, a daughter, a best friend, a fiance, and every other title I possess, I make, order, and sell jewelry, flip flops, caps, belts, purses, wallets, etc. We have been very busy around here. We just had family photos and engagement photos taken, which I will be sure to post so that you may have a little glimpse into my life. I also stay busy with church and Cub Scouts. I am an active member of Life Church, I love, love, love God and love our church. I put him before everything and I thank him daily for my blessings. Now onto some jewelry business.

I will be posting new items as soon as my new camera comes in. My other camera was not “Kyler Proof”!!! I will also have a booth set up the Friday night of the Choupique H.S.R, at West Cal Arena on March 26, 2010.

I will also be promoting my jewelry as soon as it dries up by taking some of my friends daughters and doing a photo shoot out at my Mom’s big red barn!!!

Then in May, I have the privilege of setting up a booth at the Lawton’s Ranch Horse Sale and Team Roping. I will post more information on that as the time gets closer. So be sure to sign the guest book, and let me know what you think about the blog and all. Hopefully, the more of these I do, the better I will get at writing them lol!!

And now, some photos from my life:
