~Ear Cuffs at Fret Knot Jewelry~

Ear cuffs are all the rage lately. So naturally, as a small-business jewelry maker, I've been dabbling in making them. Here are some of my current new guitar string creations.

I'm always making new designs....

And I'm always up for the challenge of a new idea, even if it's not something you would plan on purchasing.

Once the Fret Knot Jewelry page hits 50 "likes" I'm doing a GIVEAWAY! So don't miss out on the fun!

New Stuff at "Fret Knot Jewelry"

My latest favorite bracelet :)

   Have you been keeping up to date with some of the new things at Fret Knot Jewelry? Don't worry - I can barely keep up with them myself!

   For those of you who may have not heard, Fret Knot Jewelry is a little jewelry business I've been working on getting going for a while now. I make jewelry out of recycled guitar strings and sell them. Many stringed-instrument players I know are pleased to think that their old strings, that would have otherwise gone in a landfill, are given to me and turned into works of art to be used again.

This one actually isn't super new, but I thought you ladies might like looking at this one too :)

   I've been posting alot of new items lately, but I also love the adventure of custom orders.

   I invite you to come check out my page here and "like" it on Facebook. After we reach our first 50 likes, there'll be a giveaway! Yup! I said it! GIVEAWAY!! One of those favorite blogging words :)

For those who do
the "ear cuff" thing.

More Than Scrapbooking {Tips-n-Tricks Tuesday}

   Perhaps you scrapbook, perhaps you make hand-made cards, or perhaps you can't draw much more than a little doodle thingy. No matter. This is really pretty simple.

   Take a piece of scrapbook paper (or make a plain piece cute with your own creativity) and write a verse on it that is convicting to you. (Or ask someone else to write it for you ;-) ) Next add some flowers or some other embellishments for "eye-candy". Then stick it on the wall.

   By making it cute, it makes you want to look at it, and when you look at it, then you feel guilty if you don't read it. Or at least you BETTER feel guilty if you don't read it!!! So see, there is more things to do with pretty paper than just scrapbooking!

   Writing these out and posting them in the house reminds me of the familiar verses in Deuteronomy when God is telling His people how greatly He will wipe out their enemies in front of them.

 ¹⁸ “You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. ¹⁹ You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. ²⁰ You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹ so that your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied on the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens remain above the earth. ²² For if you are careful to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, ²³ then the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.
