New Earrings

I want to thank all of you for purchasing my earrings.  I wasn't sure if it would be worth my time, but you all have been so generous!  I love the bond that is shared between adoptive parents!

I have been working on some new earring designs.  I will post them here and then over on the sidebar.

Here we go......

Let me begin by saying that I am not now,
never have claimed to be,
and never plan in the future being a professional jewelry maker. 

I am a mom. 

A mom who is longing to bring her daughter home from China. 

I am a creative person. 
I love to make things. 
I love color and texture and the satisfaction of completing things.

That said, I have been piddling around a bit with jewelry making.  It's turning into alot of fun!  And for kicks, I thought I would throw a few peices out there to try to contribute to our adoption fund for Abbey.  Here's what I have so far:




Item #1
I was feeling like red today, I guess because it's almost Valentine's Day.  These are made with a matte dark red and clear beads, strung on silver wires. They are 1 5/8 inches long.  I have 3 pairs of these.  They are $10.00/pair.

Ok so here is how this will work.  If you are interested in buying any of these earrings and helping bring Abbey home, simply send me an email to crosseyedmama@gmail.com specifying which item number you want and your mailing address.  The first email I receive will get to purchase.  I will then send you an email back telling you to send me payment through paypal.  There will be a $2.00 shipping charge added to each order.  You can use the paypal button at the right to submit payment.  When I receive payment I will ship the earrings to you.

Remember, I am not a professional and these are handmade earrings.
Therefore all sales are final.
