At this year end I'm sending out hugs and a big Thank You to all my 2013 customers. You may or may not know how wonderful it feels to have someone like you! love one of my artisan jewelry pieces enough to let go of some of your hard earned money in exchange for something I've made with my own two hands.
It feels fantastic!
It feels that way to me no matter how much you spend.
Each piece can be comprised of my:
*joy*
*zen*
*fun*
*pain*
*love*
*angst*
*pride*
*success*
*trepidation*
*excitement*
*appreciation*
I could go on.
But when it is sold it's nothing but happiness.
Thank you!
Something else I wanted to share is my 2013 donation to Action Against Hunger. I share, because those of you that made your jewelry purchases in November and December of this year made this donation possible. A payment of $34.28 was given to ACF International. This gift was doubled again due to some Corporate Sponsors!
Below is a portion of the donation acknowledgment:
