Bet you didn't know ...

I started a new Etsy shop. Yes I know I said I would cut back but this shop isn't really for me, it's for others. This came out of me wanting to help my friends and family in need. I have a lot going on on both sides of my family at the moment, people needing help and in financial difficulty. Major life changes are happening and we're not all sure we're ready for these things to happen. My art has kind of taken a back burner lately and I think this is one of the reasons why. I never have my own money when it comes to wanting to help others so I came up with the idea to make and sell jewelry and if it profits (I am praying it does) then I can help my loved ones. Every little bit helps right? I'm faithfully making jewelry in the evenings and spending time with my kiddo during the day. Next day if I can I post them in the shop and on my FB Fanpage. Please check it out when you get a chance. I've had one sale the second day my shop was running, boy was that encouraging! Another idea I had was to put one piece of art in this shop and the money would go towards a missionary friend I have who needs financial support. (still working on this one)
I've named my shop Impress 2 Bless. Please spread the word for me. I may do a giveaway from time to time on here as well. If you would like to donate old beads or anything jewelry related I would gladly welcome it and turn it into something new! Just let me know. You can follow me on Twitter as well @impress2bless

Deuteronomy 16:17: "All must give as they are able, according to the blessings given to them by the Lord your God."

Here are a few of my favorites in the shop now:

LoLo Land is up and running!

LoLo Land, originally uploaded by creativeFlutter AKA MazerDesign.

I am sitting her bleary-eyed because it's super late but I got that email I had been waiting for all weekend today! What email you ask? The email that told me I could open up my sweet LoLo-Land for business!!!!! So of course I HAD to stay up late to list my items that I have been working on for months!!!! Those fabulous pieces many of you have commented on in my flickr photostream are now listed for sale!!!! They are all one-of-a-kind (OOAK) originals so when you see what you like you better go for it because there won't be another one like it ever again! I'm so happy to be able to list before Cyber Monday too! Hopefully I can generate one sale from one of my 3 online shops! Business has been super slllllllloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww!! I know art is one of those things you don't always need but I promise it will make you happy when you see that piece that spoke to you staring back at you on a blue day. I know that's how it works for me! So what are you waiting for? PLEASE go see my creations and what I'm so very proud of!!! I learned these techniques from the very TALENTED Suzi Blu! Check her out on the web she's everywhere! Thanks Suzi!!

Anyhoo off to sleep for me, long day tomorrow!

A very excited Mazer!
