Ok I haven't been good at blogging.....My my new goal is to at least write one line every day.  I have been busy making personalized photo items. I am loving this.

Friend's Photoshoot

My friend's daughter volunteered to model some of the wares in Jubilantwares and so my very creative friend did a photoshoot.  The photo's are very creative  thought I'd post some here.

Donate for Haiti Relief

I think like many of you I have been watching the devastating pictures and stories coming out of Haiti since the earthquake. Every time I see the face of a child I see my two children's faces. I wanted to do something to donate whatever I could. Monetarily I could not do much, but discovered that Paypal was connected to Save the Children Fund. So I was able to donate and decided that 20% of whatever sales I make on etsy will go to the Save the Children Fund.

I also created a bottlecap dedicated to Haiti relief as a statement/ encouragement for others to donate. I had never made magnets out of the bottlecaps before and decided to try that as well as a paperclip bookmark. I donated one each of these to the etsy store Hearts for Haiti ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartsforHaiti?ga_search_query=hearts&ga_search_type=seller_usernames ) where 100% of the sales go to Doctors without Borders and the sellers are donating all the fees as well as shipping.

My husband who has been to Haiti as a child was telling me how even $1 would go such a long way in this devastated country so I would encourage you all to donate that dollar you are going to use on a candy bar, coffee, mocha or a cigarette to one of the reputable charities.

Upcycling Bottle caps

All the bottle caps I have used so far has been unused new ones. One of my co-workers heard I was making stuff with bottlecaps and she bought me a bagful of beer bottle caps. I kept them in a box for awhile and then just found them while cleaning the closet. So I decided to try and make little christmas ornaments. I glued them together and painted and put varnish and sealed a photo of the kids. I think the next one I do I will have more dangly things to spruce it up. But it was so fun doing this I think friends and family you are all getting these ornaments this year!!!! maybe I should call them Tree-Caps or something. Hmmmm maybe I can draw on them as well.....ok my mind is going a mile a minute!!!...Let me put up some pictures first!! what do you think?

I seem to have hit a wall...I am not sure where to go next with jubilantwares. I love the buttons and bottle caps but I am not selling much. I am not sure what I should do next. I did manage to do a photo pendant and am currently working on the bottle cap bracelet. I need some inspiration and advice as to how to push along.
