Happy Monday!

Good morning y'all! I have super exciting updates for you! I'm sure some of you follow Lauren's fabulous Life with a Lab blog, but you may not be familiar with her design services at Blue Lux. Let me just tell you... Girls, she is absolutely amazing! Right now, she's in the process of giving "Life, Love, & Labs" a much needed makeover and I couldn't be more excited for you to see it! She's very reasonably priced and wonderful to work with! If you've been thinking about sprucing up your blog (or need any other graphic design services), I highly recommend her!

A couple weeks ago I updated you all on why I'd been gone for so long and introduced my new line of jewelry to you all. I've had so much fun making all the different pieces and had the pleasure of working with some truly wonderful ladies to create custom pieces for a couple special occasions. I'm in the process of putting up some new additions to the site as we speak, but for now you might want to stop by Lori's Shopaholic in Alabama blog. There may or may not be a something exciting going on right now... just saying. :)

And here's why I've been gone for so long...

Okay, let me start out by saying that I feel absolutely terrible for leaving you all for so long... honestly. By no means was the following announcement (...anticipation!!!) intended to take me nearly as long as it did (I'll elaborate in a bit). Regardless, it's 99.9% complete, and I just couldn't wait ANY longer to share my news with you all! I think keeping this whole thing under wraps has been hands down the hardest part (especially since it took me so long!) about this whole process. So here goes... drum roll please!!! "Jewelry by Margaret" is fully up and running and open for business! (Insert huge smile!) For the past 2 months, I have spent countless hours making jewelry, photographing pieces, and getting all the details/descriptions up online. To be honest, I didn't even realize an entire 2 months had gone by. As I was getting the final pieces together last week, Robert asked me "When was the last time you updated your blog? I haven't seen you do anything but jewelry lately." Soo yes, I sort of got a bit addicted. And I'm really sorry... But hey, the hard part is all behind me!

So here it is! I would LOVE to hear feedback from all of you! If you're interested in some of my pieces, but would rather have a different color or stone, please just let me know! I absolutely love doing custom pieces and creating something that fits your style perfectly. Although I'm just getting things rolling, I hope to start doing bridal party pieces, and become a (very small) part of someone's big day! I could go on and on, but please do stop by my shop and take a look! I promise not to leave you all for so long this time... :)
