Life gets in the way sometimes...

Hi there! Remember me, haha? It's been a while since I've had a chance to post. Sometimes life gets in the way, and boy has that been the case lately.

Now it's time to get back to the fun of creating! I can't believe it's only a month left to my exhibit in Mission Viejo, must get cracking. On the business side, I finally sent the specs over to Michael today who is doing the graphics for the postcards that you will be receiving next month announcing the show and giving all the details. The printer is all set up and ready to go with 2-sided recycled postcards. It's somewhat unbelievable how quickly I have gone through business cards as well - have to start thinking about getting those done again!

I am excited about taking a metalworking class early next month! I've been learning so much about how to make jewelry, I suppose I should actually make some more, eh?

On the press side, I have been told that the Hollywood Chamber Magazine had a photo and small profile of Pop Culture Princess in it, am eagerly awaiting receipt so I can share it with you all.

OK, off to go broil in the 105 degree heat!

Whirlwind of activity!

Wow, there has sure been a lot going on around the Pop Culture Princess studio (aka: the downstairs area of my townhouse, haha). And all this during/after I had the flu - hopefully no more sickies around here for the rest of the year!

Right after my last post, I found out one of my dear friends wrote about my jewelry on her blog - so nice!

"This is so neat! My friend Joan has found a clever way to recycle CDs...make jewelry...SUPER COOL! I love the idea of repurposing items rather than sending them to the landfill."

And then, another friend was kind enough to say good things as well!

"J’s jewelry is very beautiful, super modern and also very affordably priced. Please check out more of her work and consider purchasing her jewelry for yourself or as a gift..."

I've been trying to get the word out, and it looks like it's working! Hoping to have some interviews in the next couple of weeks all thanks to YOU GUYS for passing the word around about eco-friendly jewelry.

In other PCP news: Pop Culture Princess is now a member of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce (yay!) Next stop: star on the walk of fame (I'll just be standing on one with a cocktail, lol).

Later on this week, I'll be putting my cousin to work on prep so there should be plenty of NEW items for Holiday season and the upcoming exhibition! I have so many new designs in my head and on paper waiting to come out!

Oh, and if you get an email from me, don't delete it - please pass it on! Am starting in on sending emails to y'all every couple of weeks with sale information, discount goodies, upcoming non-profit beneficiaries and all sorts of info. Thanks!!!
