So I told her something like "oh, we'll have to see, sometime" planning to make her something for Christmas.
I really like what I came up with and the concept will be showing up soon in the shop, maybe even in "just a little one" size.

"Just a little one"
Last month Little Girl Friend was over for a Christmas movie and I was working on a custom order. She strolled over and wanted to know "whatcha doin?" She then proceeded, with cute hand gestures to ask if I would make her"just a little one"(she said this a few times;)). She likes jewelery, princesses and being girly just a bit. And the fact that she constantly "ooohs" over my jewelery does not hurt either.

With love to Moldova
I have not blogged for Regal beads in over a year? OUCH!
I will admit I sell more in person than online and gave up putting out all the online effort for quite some time. I find sometimes once my job is over for the day and we've eaten dinner, gone out or whatever is going on that week that sometimes I just don't have the energy! But, it's all about priorities.
Last fall I got pretty ill and during that time I had a lot of time to think and pray as I could not do much else. God convicted me that I was becoming greedy with the money I was making from my jewelery and also that there were those in need whom I could help with the talent He had given me. So, I decided from there on out to give 100% of what I make from Regalbeads to ministries.
This is the second year that the month of December has meant sending money to Moldova: there is a church there whom my church has sent funds to each Christmas for quite a few years. They help the disabled and needy who cannot work or do not have enough to have food in the winter. In the summer they eat from their gardens, but in the winter they have great need.
I don't know about you, but I've really never had to worry about food. I can't imagine worrying that my child will have food to fill their stomach.
Pastor Andrew (the pastor of this church) came and spoke to us the summer before last and shared pictures and stories of those whom we helped. To say it was moving does not begin to sum up the impact.
A woman asked if our offering provided them with enough food to last all winter. The answer? Well, not really but sometimes it's all they have so they are encouraged to make it last.
So, all of the money I made last December and again this year will be going to Moldova.
So, anything and everything you buy in my etsy shop or in person for those of you who live here will go to feed the needy.
Won't you help to fill this basic need?

HOLIDAY ETSY FEST
I have not been as great about posting lately, just not enough hours and energy.
Right now I am working up a bunch of earrings for a little show next weekend.
Anything I don't sell will be put up on etsy, but I think I'll just have to make more up for etsy , these are way cute :) They are a new design I just came up with.
AND NOW:
I am going to be running a sale along with a lot of other sellers!
MY SALE:
Along with my free shipping sale that I am running through Christmas, you will also get an additional 10% off!!
Shop for your sweetie, your daughter, your mother...and buy them something that will be unique, beautiful, and that will last a lifetime!
Also, be sure to check out the Holiday Etsy Fest Shopping Guide!

Help soldiers and their family's this holiday season!
I just ran across something that I had to encourage you to participate in:
something they are calling MSS (Mission Soldier Support).
Makers of handcrafted cards from the Etsy Greetings team are participating in the charitable project to support the troops.
Here's how it works:
You find a shop that is participating and purchase cards. Then write "MSS or Mission Soldier Support" in the note at purchase. These cards will then be sent on to the soldiers blank so that they can write in them and send them to their families.
This promotion runs through November 7th.
To find shops that are participating search for MSS.
Here is a treasury to get you started :)
