"Pearls and a Promise"

Well, where to begin? This blog and this idea is less than twenty-four hours old, so my head is a fuzzy bunch of swirling ideas!

July 22, 2012, at around 3:00 pm, my two daughters and I were winding up a three day "scrapbooking, jewelry making, journaling, card making retreat" at my home.  We hadn't done this kind of weekend for three years and their families graciously set them free of all home responsibilities and they loaded up and headed to "mom's place."

We had a perfect three days of creating, eating (that's a story in itself - more later on the food), laughing {uncontrollably at times), and late in the day Sunday, the idea of "Pearls and a Promise" was born! How did it happen? One thought floated by Shellie, another idea by Shannon, and we were off and running! In two hours we had a name, and had set up a website (the website is an address only for now), Etsy store, FB, Pinterest, Twitter and blog.

Now what? Don't have a clue just how it's going to unfold!

What is "Pearls and a Promise" going to offerWe will offer what we are already doing but will just be focusing some of our creative juices toward "custom jewelry for weddings" ~ for the bride and bridesmaids to wear in the wedding and/or simply unique gifts for bridesmaids, family, friends of the bride, flower girls, etc. We'll also offer personalized/custom wedding stationery - which will be described later.

Just needed to post this little blurb to be sure I didn't dream the whole thing!  More soon ~ from all of us!

Blessings!
the mom, Jayne
