First of all, I really think the idea was a download from God. How do I know? Well, I was praying about a new business idea for several weeks... just wanted to help out our family budget a little (and eventually help other moms help their own family budgets by being involved in jewelry making).
I've had an Etsy shop for a while now, but never really tried to promote it or anything. I love to make jewelry, but hate promoting it. But now I'm realizing that I've got to do both in order to keep doing the part I love-- jewelry making. I just felt like I needed something unique and worth sharing.
That's where these new designs come in...
The Story
There I was, sitting at the gas station dwelling on this whole quandary when this idea just popped into my head! Make jewelry out of pennies. Yep, that's how it happened. I had been thinking a lot about the poor widow in the Bible who gave her last two copper coins in the offering... and how Jesus noticed her sacrifice. And I was thinking about how pennies are so often discarded in our culture as worthless-- just like those widow's coins. Then my dear friend mailed me a "widow's mite" necklace charm... out of the blue. Bam! I was convinced.
The rest is history:
Aren't they cool??? See, I told ya I was excited!
So, here's where you guys (and the giveaway) come in....Will you help me get the word out?
Just share my etsy shop Stones of Remembrance with a friend and/or "like" my page on Facebook and you'll be entered to win your very own "Jenny Penny" earrings or this "Trust In God" necklace. (Your choice)
Leave me a comment telling me how you shared and don't forget to check out my shop!
Thanks so much guys! I can't wait to hear from you! : )
Oh, I am particularly liking the "Forgiven, Redeemed, child of God, ...." bracelet! Very well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love your new stuff. Very creative and beautiful. I liked your page.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I noticed the trust in God one isn't in your etsy shop. I'd love to order one of those. Let me know how :)
