It's Over...the Start of Something New?

Well the holidays are over. All that rushing around and the busy days are over for another year. I had a lot of fun taking Christmas themed pictures of all my jewelry this year. I think it made my online store look really festive! It always seems so sad when the holiday decorations come down, but it is a good time to really clean and make things feel new for the start of the new year. I have had so much fun making all sorts of jewelry this year, and I wanted to do something exciting for the new year. So.............I decided to start an offshoot of my Playful Kitten Jewelry store. On January 2nd was the grand opening of the PKJ Cancer and Awareness Jewelry site. As a cervical cancer survivor, I know how hard it is to find jewelry to show support for your cause. The only things available for many of the lesser well-known cancers are those rubber bracelets, so I decided that I would create some pretty designs. I will also be donating 10% of the proceeds for the sales of the jewelry to the appropriate research charity for the disease. I decided to start with cervical cancer and kidney cancer jewelry and to expand out to other cancers or awareness jewelry as the requests came in. Here are some of the designs I have created.
