Our Tag Line

Good morning!!

  I held a jewelry bar this past weekend, and again I was fortunate to meet some very nice ladies. Helping them to create a locket with charms that have meaning to them , again, is so rewarding! Birthstones are my most popular charms.  Wearing a locket with all your children or grandchildrens birthstones close to heart, will make you feel all warm and fuzzy! What other jewelry will do that?

 I would like to share a picture with you of my locket, but my new camera is not cooperating to upload pics from the new program. Again, I'm still learning how to do new things.

But my locket is a medium Rose Gold, it has birthstones for all my grandchildren , at this time it has 7 and I'll be adding 2 new ones this year. I also have a little silver heart that says Nana, and a dangle clipped to the chain with the tree of life on one side and "Life is a gift" written on the other side. Can you picture it?

I also love the new Tag line we rolled out in November, very popular with teens and young adults!

This is just an example of what others have made. Thankfully I already had them on my computer.
What would you choose for your statement, using our TAG line?
Hope you all have a super day! maybe next time, I'll have this camera figured out :)

My Book

  Good morning! I think I mentioned it before, that I kind of wrote a book. Not a story book, but a useful book, which will help you to keep all your website info together. It took a while to write, edit, rewrite and edit again...and I learned a lot of things along the way. Not as easy as you would think. But after playing with it, publishing it, and receiving my first copy, I realized it I had forgot a few things, .. like my name!
  So I had to edit and receive another copy and I'm happy to say, It's done, and is now available on Amazon.com.
   Anyone with a business or just anyone for that matter, who works or plays online, has lots of different websites they may interact with in any given day. I've always had a little notebook to keep all that important stuff in. Account info, security questions, company phone numbers, notes ect.. So please check it out, the link is on the right. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
---------------------
I'm still learning this blog thing, trying to get my page the way I want, learning how to do new things when I'm technologically  challenged. But I'm having fun. Anyone who knows me, knows I usually just say what I want. But I'm working on my blog, thinking of dedicating 3 days a week to specific things on certain days. I hope you'll stay with me as I learn and grow .

As always, I wish you to have a super day!!

 I'd like to share a story about one of my customers. He's  a truck driver! He's on the road driving across the good ole USA delivery products, about 4 weeks at a time,  obviously he's not home much. But back home is a woman he really cares about. So since he was going to be on the road during Valentines Day, he called me and I helped him to create a locket for her. I can't tell you .. again.... how rewarding and heartwarming it is, doing this business.

  It takes time to look through the charms and pick out just the right ones to fit that persons personality and match up the things in their life. After picking out a birthstone, a medical charm,  a silver cross and initals, we had to pick a locket. I love the Rose Gold. It's shiny and beautiful and I love the way it looks with the charms. Once it was done, I sent him pictures of it to get his approval! He loved it too :)  So I packaged it up, put in a little note   from  him, and mailed it.
  She was thrilled, and all her friends loved it, she even posted pics of it! Which just warms my heart ! And that is another reason why I love this business!

 Business is good! I'm meeting a lot of nice woman and I'm having so much fun helping them to earn free jewelry, or to help them start their own business with Origami Owl Custom Jewelry. I must say it truly is rewarding! Where else can you meet new people, make them smile, and make a nice income while working from home on your own time? With so many companies closing down or moving out of our country, good jobs are scarce, and daycare is expensive. I think more and more people, are looking for a way to stay home with their kids. I think there is less stress involved with home business too. You can schedule your appointments around your business and not worry about the "boss" giving you grief for missing work, after all, YOU are your own boss.

I wanted to make a blog to promote my business. I still haven't shared my blog yet, because I'm not done setting it up. Technology always gets the best of me. But as with most things, I'm learning as I go. My friend Robyn has a great blog, I love the way it looks and she's such a great writer. I hope to not bore you all in the future, and I give you a reason to keep coming back.

In the meantime, as I had said before, I always promote my favorite websites, ect.. so if you have time, please check out Robyn's blog, I really believe you'll enjoy it.  http://robynlindsey.com/

I guess that's all for today. See you soon :)

Robyn Lindsey's New Book

My friend Robyn is launching her 4th book,  SnapShots in Time Please come share in this special day!

Sometimes, things don't always go the way we want. I seem to struggle finding my place in this world. As you know, I like to keep busy. I love to socialize. I love meeting new people. But some situations terrify me. I try to "fit in" but I become uncomfortable. Other times, I feel right at home, depending on the situation.

When I'm quiet,  I don't always have a lot to say. People then think I'm snobby or sad,  I'm not snobby or sad. I'm just quiet. Why do people have to pre-judge? Why can't they just get to know me first?

I used to be a lot of fun. (Funny, "used" to be. ) I still am!!. Especially when I'm around people I know, people I'm familiar with. I love to joke around, I LOVE to laugh. I know my attitude has changed. It happens when things happen in your life you have no control over it.
But I try. I'm actually a very fun positive kind of person. I try to keep my private life private. Funny, since I'm now venting on a blog. lol

I'm trying to socialize more. Trying new events, trying new websites to promote my business. Since it's hard for me to actually get out into the world, the web has become my outlet. Someday things will change.
 But for now, I struggle to fit in. I stay busy.I'm trying new things. oh BTW, I just wrote 2 books. Well actually one, but 2 different versions. And it's not really a book you read, like a story, but more of a help book.

My Favorite Websites  & Websites, Passwords, E-mails and more  is not available yet. But will be on Amazon. It's just a book to keep all your passwords and website info.

I got the idea one night, while rewriting my own little notebook that I keep all that info in. I figured why not? My friend Robyn wrote a few books, and she's always encouraged me to write something. I started a recipe book on family recipes I've used and made, but still haven't finished it. But I finished my 2 books in a week. So, I'm proud of myself.

Well, enough for today. I have things to do. Hope you all have a super day!!

It's Monday

    It's Monday. Yup, a new week. My weekend had some challenges. Some with family, some with trying to catch up with friends, some with trying to make a book. Not write a book, but I'm trying to make a useful book. And yes, of course I'll share, when it's done.

    I know at times I take on too much. Well at least it feels that way. I have my Mom I care for, she lives with us, I try to stay connected with fiends and family, make time for my husband, and sometimes my grandson stops in and spends the night. I'm also trying to build my business and help others with theirs.  Of course there's keeping up with e-mails ( I have 4) feeding the dog and cats, doing housework ect... (sigh) Sometimes it seems like I'm always busy, but nothing gets accomplished. I guess I'm just having " one of those days."

    But it's Monday, the laundry is almost done, I closed on a party, gave my grandson a ride to school, folded clothes and I actually put them away, not just left folded on the bureau because I got distracted. I'm also  trying to clean the clutter, ( do you have clutter?) I have no idea where it comes from, but it's got to go! So I have someone coming to get some of my clutter. I'm sure they'll make good use of it, and I can check that off my list.

  My goals for the week are to help 3 people get started with their own business. This is my favorite part. It's so exciting! And I want to finish my "book". I also put on my (to do) list, to find a computer class to help me learn how to use WORD or NOTEPAD or EXCEL , well you know what I mean. If I'm going to work on the web, I guess it's time to learn a few things. And to think, back in high school, I was so mad, because we had to buy a calculater, ( which were expensive back then) and I couldn't understand why we had to use a calculater, instead of our brains. I bet most kids have no idea how to divide on paper. I think computers are bad. But, it's so common now, it's hard to be without one. I'm just as guilty.

Seems like I was more organized when I had 3 kids to pick up/ drop off at scouts , basketball, friends, and work 3 jobs. But those days are gone. I love my time at home, I love being with my mom, I love being able to work from home, but I sure don't like being so unorganized. Have you ever heard the saying.. " The faster I go, the behinder I get" ? That's me lately.

 We've had a mild winter, but I'm axiously waiting for spring to get here. I want to start on my garden. Then the caring of the garden and the compost bin, and mowing and picking of flowers and planning cookouts with friends and family. Ahhh I must say, I love staying busy !!

So may we all have a productive week. Time to add to my To Do List :)
