I honestly do not know where the time goes?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Here at </span><a href="http://www.hammijammijewelry.com/"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Hammi Jammi Jewelry</span></b></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">, I usually make the teacher's some sort of meaningful jewelry in addition to a gift card or some other item. This year, I came up with two different bracelets for my sons' teachers. They are amazing and put their everything into their students. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">The first bracelet is very special. The kindergarden teacher has taught both of my boys and this is her last year at our school. We will miss her terribly but know that "every ending has a new beginning" and she will be enjoying much family time in her new location. She is moving to North Central Pennsylvania where her husband took a job. Luckily, I knew her son's name and birth month so I came up with this:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">The next bracelet is for my eldest son's fourth grade teacher. She has been wonderful and has really helped my son work towards his full potential. She's really helped him "bloom" this year and for that I am so grateful. So this is her bloom bracelet:</span><br />

Here in Pennsylvania it's been C-O-L-D! I mean, colder than it has been during the winter....it's actually flurrying here today. It you know me...I dislike the cold months. I much prefer the Spring and early Summer. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">To get me out of my funk, I have been creating some of my Spring and Summer line of jewelry. Flowers, butterflies, and beautiful colors are enough to get my spirits higher. And if you need more inspiration head on over to the</span> <a href="http://www.hammijammijewelry.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Hammi Jammi Jewelry website</b></span></a> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">and do some browsing.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the second installment of copy cat jewelry for my <b>FAVORITE</b> mail catalog.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This chain is oxidized sterling silver, but I could get most of the materials in this necklace and create it for a fraction of the cost.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">heart charms, and a pewter hamsa hand. This necklace is stunning for </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">everyday wear.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">I thought I would try to do a few blog posts on some copy cat jewelry.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">I have done stamping in the past with a standard font, but I recently purchased a new font (story book, if you are wondering) and have been having so much fun making customized pieces of jewelry. </span><br />

Today I had the honor of being the featured artisan at <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SpiritSistersLLC"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">Spirit Sisters</span></a>. </b>What a great little shop in St. Pete's Village; the shop is completely stocked with local artist creations. Robin, the owner of the shop creates aromatherapy jewelry. She carries my jewelry and several other jewelry artisans. She also has some handcrafted soaps, aromatherapy perfumes, smudge sprays, and apothecary items for adults, kids, and infants. <br />

Today, we even had the chance to get chair massages. $1 a minute in the peaceful surroundings of the Village...the windows were open and we could hear the steam flowing through the rocks and boulders. Tranquil is all I can say. The massage therapist is there pretty regularly on Sundays.<br />
<br />
If you live in the local area (or not), I highly suggest you come for a visit. The <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;"><a href="http://theinnatsaintpeters.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">St. Pete's Inn</span></a> </span></b>has rooms to reserve, a great restaurant with local entertainment. The <a href="http://www.saintpetersbakery.com/"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">bakery</span></b></a> is perfect for breakfast/lunch/coffee snacks. The bakery also has "make your own pizza" on Friday nights (year round) and Saturday nights (during the summer). My kids, locals and visitors always enjoy climbing around the rocks and making a perfect day of the Village.<br />
<br />
Thanks again to all who came out to say hello to me today. I really appreciate the support for the local artists and community!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17442641528037253510noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1247046639199444273.post-36661260885389869832012-07-24T18:35:00.000-04:002012-07-24T18:35:17.724-04:00It's been a little while......Summer time hits and I don't know where my time goes....<br />
<br />
We've been to the beach (twice), had friends and family visit, my parent's 40th wedding anniversary festivities, and had several camps. I don't think I've been home all that much....well maybe just long enough to make a few pieces of jewelry and to do wash!<br />
<br />
I am usually pretty good about posting pretty regularly on my blog, but it's been almost 2 months, so apparently I'm not THAT good! I am pretty good at posting on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HammiJammiJewelry"><b>facebook</b></a> page so you can keep updated on my new items that way. Be sure to go there and "like" my page if you haven't already done so.<br />
<br />
One of my college besties recently visited me with her kids. She commissioned me to make a few items for her. Let me show you what I made (and if you are a facebook liker of Hammi Jammi, I apologize for redundancy).<br />
<br />
The first piece is a magnetic hematite wrap bracelet:<br />

The next item is a beautiful necklace made with vintage lucite rectangular beads, silk ribbon, smokey glass beads, and some Swarovski crystals. LOVE LOVE this piece:<br />

It always blows my mind at all the different things you can come up with using the same beads.<br />
<br />
I promise it won't be another two months before I post again!!!<br />

My eldest son, who is in 3rd grade, is finishing up this week. He has had the most wonderful teacher this year; she is enthusiastic, keeps the kids thirsting for knowledge, and is just a great human being. This is the first time that my son has said that he is really going to miss having a teacher. I have such praise for all teachers who are the caregivers of our child's minds all year long! If you get a good one then the thirst for knowledge will not be hampered!!! <br />
<br />
I wanted to make a special present for Ms. F. and I am having trouble deciding on which one to give her. Your help is needed in making the decision. I will pair the necklace with a gift certificate as well. <b>Please help me out!!!!</b><br />

<b>Necklace #1: </b>Thanks for helping me BLOOM!<br />

Teachers plant the seeds, water the seeds and watch them grow. I think this leather flower necklace made with rhodochrosite, twisted Czech glass, acrylic, and Swarovski bi-cones will remind Ms. F. of all the children she's helped BLOOM!<br />
<br />
<b>Necklace #2:</b> Thanks for making me WISE!<br />

Teachers give a HOOT about education and this whimsical necklace made with coral and some rose quartz with a handcrafted ceramic owl pendant will remind Ms. F. how her wisdom is imparted on each and every child she teaches.<br />

With the end of school for the preschoolers and the end for elementary students quickly approaching I thought I would share a teacher present idea with all of you. I was nominated to take up a collection and come up with the teacher gift. I had approximately $40 to work with for each of the teachers. Mrs. N and Mrs. M have been wonderful mentors for these young minds all year long. I am truly sad that this is my last experience with this preschool (insert sad face here....)<br />
<br />
So I came up with this great idea:<br />

I got some perennials and a black monogrammed pot using a sticker and added some some ribbon. I got 2 gift cards (one for Target and one for Wawa) and made gift card holders out of scrapbook paper I had lying around the house.<br />
<br />
One the tag I wrote, "Thanks for helping us bloom!" <br />
<br />
Feel free to steal my idea. Both teachers loved the class gift and best of all, they can enjoy the plants for years to come.<br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Hematite grounds and protects us. It strengthens our connection with the earth, making us feel safe and secure. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">It endows us with courage, strength, endurance and vitality. A "stone for the mind", Hematite stimulates concentration and focus, enhancing memory and original thought.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Hematite utilizes the magnetic qualities of our yin-yang energies to balance the meridians within the body and to provide a stable equilibrium between the ethereal nervous system and the physical nervous system. It focuses energy and emotions for balance between the body, mind and spirit.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Dissolves negativity and prevents you from absorbing the negativity of others. Haematite is strong, supporting timidity, boosting self-esteem and survivability, enhancing willpower and reliability, and imparting confidence. It helps to overcome compulsions and addictions, treating overeating, smoking and other forms of overindulgence. </span></div>

Even other flowers-like these magnolias-are piled into lotus shapes.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

This is understood as being just like the lotus flower, bringing beauty and light from the murky darkness at the bottom of the pond.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Poets use this to represent a close unbreakable relationship between two lovers or the members within a family, showing that no matter how far away they might live nothing can really separate them in heart.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
