❤💖❤ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!❤💖❤

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day, whether you spent it with your significant other, spent it pampering yourself, or with friends.  I've always felt today's holiday tends to be over commercialized towards couples. Yeah, I know ... LOVE! Right?  But, have you heard the words, "Love yourself as I have Loved YOU"?  Love isn't just about the love between couples.  I believe before we can love someone else we truly need to learn to love ourselves.  So, hopefully. if you find yourself checking "single" or "it's complicated", you did something special for yourself  your pet (what a great day to volunteer at a pet shelter/rescue), volunteer to assist the elderly, homeless, our vets ... a great day to pay it forward.  Also, what a great excuse for a Girl's Night Out, like we need  more excuses for those nights!  Valentine's day isn't just for couples' in love.  It's no longer the 18th century!  Speaking of Hearts ... I've got soooo many GORGEOUS lampwork hearts to make into pendants and earrings for you that got pushed to the side when my tablet crashed and I had to order my new laptop. I WILL be working on them and getting them out to you, as I take my 30 day Photography Class, beginning tomorrow. I'll have to make some designs on which I can practice my new photography skills.  I'm so sorry for being so technically challenged. Just wanted to keep you updated and wish you a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

My name is Monica, the designer/assembler of my jewelry; and I have to give credit to my wonderful husband for assisting me in various ways, esp emotional support!  I've always loved jewelry for as long as I can remember, the very first piece being a tiny brooch of my Mom's that was a painter's palette.  She worked in a private owned jewelry store when she was younger; and so the tradition continued, as I became of age as a young teenager, with me working for the same jeweler during the holidays.  My love affair with sparkly bling only intensified as I continued my job there as their Holiday employee, plus there's something extra special about Christmas that makes the bling more intense & exciting!  As I entered college, I decided on a career in Dentistry

Good Morning .... Sorry to have neglected my blog again. You'll be pleased when you see all the new pieces I've been creating since my last post. Some will be going to the store in Pikeville,  Rustic Roots on Second , and some will be going to my new website that I've been working to get published. It's ready to publish; just need to get my merchandise listed on it ... Not the easiest task. I need to update my Facebook page with my listings as well.
