New necklace

I have been eyeing this shop on Etsy, www.MintyFreshFusions.Etsy.com for so long! I loved looking at all her pendents and necklaces, but could never decide what to get. She has the most wonderful looking Fused glass pendents, upcycled bottle top necklaces and neat spoon rests made from wine bottles. One day I thought of putting my logo on a pendent and knew where to go! I convo'd Jen at MintyFreshFusion, the amazing artist behind it all, and asked her if she could do just that. She was so kind to work with me ensuring I got exactly what I wanted. After I checked out it only took a few days for her to finish my necklace! Since she lives close to me I went right to her house to pick up my order! I was in love,I got into my car and put it right on! Her work is so amazing, I am so happy that I have a unique one of a kind necklace made just for me.


Not only do I have an amazing new necklace, I now have a great conversation piece. When people ask about my new necklace I can tell them about my Etsy shop and MintyFreshFusion!! Here are some pic's of me and my new necklace made from my logo!

Summer.....

I wish I had more time to blog, but right now it's summer and I have enjoyed the time with my family. I am lucky that my husband has summers off and I just work from home. We have made many day trips to fill our days with tons of fun. We went to the zoo, the beach, and boating with my parents. We also have a pool and spend lots of time splashing around!! Most of all we have been relaxing, reading, cooking and hanging with friends and family. I have been working on my shop to get ready for Christmas. I will be going back to school in the fall and my husband back to work, than it's homework, housework, picking the boys up from daycare, etc, etc. that will keep us busy. I have set a goal of blogging at least once a week and I have plans for my posts!! I hope everyone is having a great summer. Here is a picture of my boys, Aidan and Eliot at the Farmers museum in Cooperstown, NY

Promo packets!

There are so many great shops on Etsy, too many for me to name! I wanted to show all my customers some of them, so I put together a promo packet for all my customers to include with there order for free! Whats in them you ask? Well it changes from time to time as new cards/items come in the mail to me almost every week! But they can include:




  • Business cards/post cards


  • coupons


  • soap samples


  • magnets


  • tags


  • stickers


  • and other small fun goodies


I place all the goodies in a bag, right now it's plastic but I will be switching to paper bags soon since they are better for the Planet. With a sticker on it that says "Thank you for your order. Please check out these other great Etsy shops". My customers give me great feedback on the packets and I am honored to be among such great talent! If you would like to be included in my promo packets send me an email at Twinsmomma27@gmail.com or send me a convo through my Etsy shop http://www.purenaturalminerals.etsy.com/
