Wow... sounds like we both started our business in order to care for our little ones.
Beautiful work!..
Take care and much success to you!
Your jewelry looks great! :) :) Good luck !
Yes, this definately the time that many people truly realize the value of SendOutCards. It really comes in handy during the holidays!! It's so nice to get out your personalized and hand-written holiday cards out in 60 seconds, no matter how many people are on your list!
Don't forget about my special - if you sign up before the month is over (yikes, that's soon!), I will give you $25 in stamps. :-)

Not only are Deidree's designs exquisite, they are affordable! She makes jewelry for men, women and children. I hope you can make one of her shows (or host one of your own), b/c the photos really don't do justice (and that is a fab photo, by the way!).
If you have a special occassion or an image in your head that you'd like to see come to life, Deidree is the woman to call! She's created and recreated a ton of beautiful sets for me.
And keep checking her website www.mishi.us for updates on new items! If you see something for sale, don't wait - you won't see the same thing twice!
p.s. Dee - I missed my goddaughter's birthday! She's 14 now (yikes!), so next time we meet up, I'll need to check out some stuff for her! Thanks!
Your Jewelry is exquisite I just love your necklace collections... and I see that you are in the Washington, DC are, I live in Leesburg, VA...I will pass along your website to my dearest girlfriends ...in the mean I wish you much....SUCCESS...
