Love Is In The Air


We are going into February and that means Valentine's day is only a couple weeks away. I have made some pieces recently that are inspired by romance and love and these items are available in my Etsy shop. The necklace shown above is just one example of what would be a perfect gift for you or someone you love. Another perfect gift for yourself or someone you love is the Have a Heart bracelet shown in my last post. Just scroll down and you can read all about why it is a gift worth giving.

Have A Heart 2008


This bracelet is not only pretty but it also has the power to help in advancements in science. When you purchase this bracelet 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Reeve-Irvine Research Center in Irvine California were scientist are working on a cure for spinal cord injuries. This is something that is very close to my heart because on February 16, 1996 I was injured and suffered a spinal cord injury which left me a paraplegic. I am now confined to a wheelchair and only have the use of my arms as the rest of my body is paralyzed. While I do not like the situation I am in I do feel very fortunate that I still have the ability to use my hands so I can create the jewelry that I conceptualize in my mind. With this ability to make jewelry I will always create special pieces in the beginning of every year in order to raise money for a cure not just for me, but for every person who is suffering and will suffer from a spinal cord injury.

The time around my injury has always been difficult for me and it was January of 2007 when I realized that what happened to me in the past is just that, in the past, but I am the one who has control of my future. It is more empowering knowing that I am doing something to help make the use of a wheelchair a thing of the past. But it is only possible with the help of people like you, so please Have A Heart and purchase a bracelet for only $15.oo. Every bit makes a great difference.
Thank you!

The bracelet is now available to purchase in my Etsy shop. Since this is for charity all sales on this bracelet are final and I will only accept payment through paypal as it is the quickest and safest method of payment.

Bracelet measures approx. 8" in length and has the most adorable silver heart and arrow toggle clasp. Champagne tinted faux pearls are separated by crystal fire polished beads with an aurora borealis coating for extra sparkle. Each bracelet purchased will come in a beautiful sheer organza pouch. Pouch measures 3"x4".

My Fortune


I have been working on something big for 2008 and since the new year is here I will share some of the details on my new project. This Christmas was perfect in every way. Me and my husband opened gifts, went to the movies and had Chinese food. It was during dinner were I received this fortune in my fortune cookie...


Your charitable efforts will be worthwhile.


After reading this I had to do a double take and share it with my husband because my big project for the beginning of this year is to raise money to find a cure for people living with spinal cord injuries. This is something very close to my heart and I can't wait to share all of the details with each one of you.


Happy New Year!

Teresa
