And that's final!

I know I can be indecisive. Trust me. I know.

But I most usually come to a final conclusion and stick with it. Usually.

This time it's final for real:

I am combining this blog and my personal blog.

I tried it once before and changed my mind almost immediately. But the past several months have brought about changes that make combining my two blogs not only a good idea, but downright necessary.

I'm busy! I need simplicity.

Also, I'm getting a better idea of where I want my little business to go and what I want the focus to be. Combining my two blogs... or better, adding this blog to my personal blog, just makes much more sense with my vision for my business.

So with all that said, head over to The Jacobs Journal and follow me there.

And that's final! I hope... :)

I like presents

It's my birthday month! I've always loved April for being my birthday month, but hated it for being in the midst of tornado season. Now I'm beginning to not like the part that it's my birthday. I've developed a growing fear of getting old. So here I go again, turning 25 for the 3rd time.

Of course I would be sad to not have a birthday month because I am a fan of presents. Who isn't, really? Christmas is about giving and celebrating Jesus' birth. Birthdays... those are all mine! A perfect excuse to be completely selfish.

To counteract this possible selfish attack, I'm giving stuff away! (Okay really I'm giving these away because I want to. It's my birthday, I can give if I want to!)

Not only is there this ridiculous spring sale going on over at my shop, I'm giving away one of these cute and dainty rings with every single order this month! Woot woot!


You can choose blue or green or silver or copper (all will have the silver wrap) and of course whatever size you'd like. I could even make it as a toe ring!

So for your next order during the month of April, tell me your color and size choice in the "message to seller" and it'll be like a happy birthday to you! :)

Teardrops

Have you ever seen someone smile through their tears? There's something so beautiful about that kind of smile. This picture portrays one of those smiles to me -


That's my husband, his grandma, and our son who is named after Gram Jacobs' late husband, Jack. It was a precious moment when she held baby Jack in her arms, overwhelmed with emotion. A perfect depiction of smiling through the tears.

The Teardrops Dangles are a celebration of such beautiful moments.
