Say What??

*Updated with new items and pictures (I didn't mean to repost it, just to update it..oops)*

So a few months ago, after Chase was born, I really wanted to get myself a "mommy necklace." You know, the kind with your kids names on it. I looked around and finally decided to buy myself one, even though it was really expensive! When I got it, I LOVED it. Everyone loves personalized stuff! I got to thinking about Christmas and who I could buy them for... everyone! And then the bill started racking up in my head.. ouch!
So my little wheels started turning and I thought, I could probably make these! I did some research and watched a few videos, ordered myself a metal stamping book and dvd, and learned how to stamp on metal! I invested in a quality set of stamping letters and numbers and a few designs and started practicing. Hey, it turns out I am pretty good at it! I have always been pretty creative, and the impatient side of me loves seeing start to finish results in just minutes. After practicing for a few weeks and making necklaces for all my friends and for both grandmas, I decided to take on the world!
I launched a fan page on Facebook and posted some pictures of my work and created an Etsy shop to sell my jewelry. I wanted to keep the prices AFFORDABLE unlike all the ones I have seen on the internet. The quality is still good (the discs are sterling silver) but the prices reach a larger market. Just in the first weekend of "opening" my store, I had 10 orders...and more are coming every day! It is so much fun and very therapeutic (you know, banging hammers and all). And it gives me something to do when my kids are sleeping and my husband is working besides watching trashy TV :)

Here are a few examples of my work.. For more information, you can become a fan of SayWhat Creations on Facebook or you can visit my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/SayWhatCreations
