A Spoiled Christmas

There was a time I hated the word spoiled. It implied that somehow I thought I was better than another. That I somehow received things that I didn’t deserve. And although spirit placed me in a home with my grandparents, where money was in abundance until my teenage years, I never felt any of those things applied to me. I have always been grateful for the gifts I received in life.

My email address for years has been simplyspoiled@hotmail.com

Spoiled is a state of mind I embrace with a spirit of positivity and spirituality. It means I am worthy of having things I want. I am deserving. It is my birthright to live prosperously. To live a life thats beautiful, rich and plentiful!
I am even more blessed to understand the deeper meaning for humanity–that you too can be spoiled if you are grateful… And allow it!

Give thanks for your blessings all year ’round!! And share your stories of blessing you have received based on your being grateful “through it all”!

Alone, but not lonely

The other day I was sulking about my personal life.  My 15 year relationship went ka-put in April, and I’ve been searching for ways to fill a void.  I haven’t even done much crafting.  My theory is that it’s best NOT to craft when I’m not in  happy place.  (Ya know, like the movie Like Water For Chocolate?).  My mood is transferred into the garmet and/or jewery.

But, knowing that you are right here (reading my post in cyberspace) is a comfort.  I find  joy in sharing my journey.

Thank you for your support!

Still fabulous…

HELP??!!  My earrings have taken over. How do you store your earrings, bracelets and necklaces??

I’ve decided to do the Salvation Armys Gingerbabies Craft Show Event in Salinas, CA in November. . Nothing like a craft show to get the creative juices flowing!!

I’m heading to a baby shower tomorrow. What are your favorite gift ideas? (Other than MadeByAmber earrings for the new Mommy, of course!)

That’s the rub about running ur own business: when things are going well, it’s all because of you. But if a client is unhappy…it’s all because of you! . Amber=still a work in progress.

Sorry I’ve been so quiet. The quick sand of the economy almost took me down. But I’m still here. Get ready for some exciting changes from MadeByAmber!!

The 25th person just asked me if I have a video tutorial for making my earrings. Guess it’s time to give the people what they want!! So, tell me what you DEFINATELY don’t want me to skip over. What’s most important for you??

I’m working on “greener” packaging!!

Ok. My 10 yr old daughter is about to get us shot singing “pants in the ground” in Little Ceasars about the customer in front of us looking thug-fabulous!! I can’t stop laughing!!! Darn you, American Idol!!
