HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I can hardly believe another year has come and gone!  The much anticipated Christmas season is no longer being awaited, the decorations are ready to hibernate until next year, and the guilt we all feel from too much "holiday cheer" (disguised as a myriad of delicious treats) will soon dissipate into our New Year's resolutions.  ;-)  
I've had a fabulous 2010!  How about you?  What did you learn the most from this past year?  What's one of your most memorable moments?  For me and my husband, our most memorable moment was probably learning that we are going to be parents!  What a thrilling and life changing moment that is!  Next to that, it would have to be the joy of making the big announcement to our families (on Christmas).  Needless to say, we're all eagerly awaiting 2011 (July to be more specific) 
As 2010 is brought to a close, I just want to thank each of you for all the wonderful support you've given me.  I've been encouraged by so many of you, and I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart!  I can't wait to introduce new designs, and offer you even more variety in my handcrafted jewelry.  I love what I do and I'm honored to be able to design for YOU! I'm looking forward to a new year full of new designs, new inspiration, and new challenges.

I wish each of you a most blessed New Year!! 

Sincerely, 

~Lauren Elise

Are any of you wondering where this year has gone??  I truly can't believe that we're now in the month of NOVEMBER!!!  I have to say that I LOVE the Holidays and can't wait for them to get here, despite not feeling ready for them yet.  Like you, I still have a few gifts left to get (yes, I said few- I start my shopping EARLY).

Vintage Inspired Jewelry

I LOVE vintage inspired jewelry, in fact I love almost anything vintage inspired!  Right now there's a lot of clothing, jewelry, furniture, decor, etc. that lends itself to this style.  I have been staying extremely busy with my photography, but now that Winter is coming I will have much more time to design new pieces that reflect this personna! 
  I've also been making fabric flowers lately and love how each one is unique.  I have been incorporating these into various designs and love how they are turning out!  As Winter approaches, and I have even more time for jewelry designing, I will be blogging about these new pieces!  I will also be restocking my Etsy store with new vintage inspired pieces!  You won't wanna miss them!

  As many of you may know, I not only have this blog but Lauren Elise Designs is on Facebook!  Become a fan to see the latest designs, replica handbags, and special offers! ;-D

I'm looking forward to taking pictures of new jewelry pieces and getting them online for all to see!!  For now, I'm preparing for a BIG party on November 6th in Minot, ND!  I'll be busy preparing for that, but hope to have new pictures up soon as well as a freshly stocked Etsy store!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Sincerely,

~Lauren Elise

Do You Like To JUGGLE?

  Where did the month go??  I suppose we've all been busy, one thing I know for sure is that I am a person who has a variety of interests.  My main two "hobbies" right now are Photography & Jewelry Design.  I LOVE what I do, I have these businesses in addition to being a wife, homemaker, musician, etc.  Sometimes, I just have to say that I feel like I'm juggling.  Do you ever feel like that?  Sometimes I'm amazed at how quickly a month passes!  I had to chuckle when I realized that it had been over a month since I've blogged.  Wow, how quickly time flies!!  I guess time flies when you're having fun aka "juggling". :-)

  Recently, my town did a story on my photography business.  I thought I'd share the article with you, and allow you to learn a little bit more about me.  (click on the article to enlarge) Once winter is upon us, my photography will slow down somewhat and my jewelry designing will pick up even more.  Life is a juggling act sometimes, but I LOVE it (most of the time - haha)!  I'm looking forward to sharing new jewelry designs with you soon!!  I'll be stocking my Etsy store again, and offering a few incentives to making that Holiday shopping even easier. 

Happy October - (tomorrow!) :-D

Sincerely,

~Lauren Elise
