June Jewelry & July/August info

So, I'm going to be out of town for three weeks from the middle of July, to the beginning of August. I've been trying to figure out how to do JOM this month, since I cant transport all of my jewelry making supplies with me when I fly, so here's what I've come up with:

 I'm going to just do a group item (everyone gets the same necklace) for July, (to minimize the supplies I have to bring with me) and if you've already told me what you want for July, that will now become your August item. If you really don't want to get the "group" necklace, then you can get no jewelry in July, and 2 items in August instead. Hopefully this works out okay for everyone! Also, this lets me move the "customize" deadline to the first of the month, without inconveniencing you. This should be easier for you all to remember, and will also give me more time to find the pieces for the custom items you want. 

July: Group Item
NEW Deadline for August jewelry: August 1

April: What Everyone Got & May: Whaddya want?

Okay Ladies, it's that time again . . .  what do you want for May? This time, I'm going to be all in-command and take charge-y. Therefore, I decree that if you haven't let me know what you want by May 15, I will pick something that I think will look fantabulous on you and that's what you'll get for the month. Sound reasonable? And for those who already told me they just want me to pick for them, you have until May 15th to change your mind about that. . . ;)  

And now onto the good stuff. Here's what everyone got (or should be getting in the mail) this month. Also, for May inspiration/ideas, I included pictures of jewelry that I made this month for myself or for other people.  


Heather W.
I couldn't quite make what Heather originally wanted, so I made the following two pairs for her to choose from. Heather originally wanted a pair of earrings like the ones on the top, but that were the deep blue color of the ones on the bottom. 




Tami
Aura actually designed Tami's necklace: silver czech glass and grey seed beads

Aura

Marjean
