Hello all!  It has been a TERRIFIC year so far.  Amazingly so!  I am really pleased with how things have been picking up for me.  I have been doing a record number of custom orders and making lots of stuff for the gallery and for etsy.  I even started listing jewelry on etsy, too.

I wanted to mention something very exciting!  Last month, I learned that former President Bill Clinton purchased some of my jewelry for Hillary and Chelsea at the gallery in Little Rock.  Apparently, he shops there every holiday season and saw fit to bestow his lovely ladies with some jewelry made by yours truly.  It was quite a surprise for me!

This necklace is one of the pieces he purchased.  He also purchased two bracelets that are very similar.  I am very honored and very humbled by this and I hope that Hillary and Chelsea enjoy the jewelry.

All's well here otherwise...  Just busy as a bee and I am even considering hiring an assistant.  I have to look into the ramifications and legal aspects of that, but I am at least in the thinking stage.  This is what happens when you have enough work for 2 or 3 people and not enough time.  Such is my life! 

Am I blessed?  You betcha!  :)

Hugs!!! ~ Debby

Hello all! My show season is officially over for the year and I'm planning to go light next year so I can focus on creating enough inventory - many new ideas - to cover one or two really good shows... Well, that's my plan anyway...

Life in general has been pretty busy.  I've been working a LOT this year as a graphic designer, which was my "day job" before I took up lampworking full-time.  Now it is still not quite my "day job" as I am doing it only on a freelance basis, which still enables me to have a flexible schedule and do all the things I need to do.

Last month, my middle child, Chelsea, got married to her high school sweetheart, Matt.  The wedding was beautiful and everything went well, but now that it's over, I can BREATHE.

Breathing leads to other cool things like restocking my etsy store and updating my website, so here I am...  :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hugs!!! ~Debby
