View Full Version : CDH Awareness Jewelry?

Some of our members have posted about CDH awareness jewelry and it's such a great idea it deserves it's on topic. Ok, everyone, how can we do this? Ideas? Suggestions?

Kim wrote - How about all those jewelry crafters out there? What about a beaded bracelet or pin that says CDH on it? Or even come up with a symbol that can be used as a bracelet charm?

Jeanne wrote - I am a jewelry crafter and have been trying to come up with ideas to make a CHERUB bracelet with crystal beads and letters. It could also be personalized with the child's name. Another bracelet idea is a charm bracelet that could be added to over time. I found a website that does custom engraved tags. If you are interested, I'll try to make up some samples and post pictures. I also have some ideas about making angel pins. Since I only recently joined, I don't know what ideas others may have proposed already.
The site for the charms is www.charmfactory.com

What about finding a nice chain and pendant with matching earrings depicting a CHERUB, or even the mother holding child that could be given as a gift to mothers of survivors and non-survivors, or grand mothers? Could we have it customized to say CHERUBS? I know that I have purchased the "bratz" at JC Penney after my children were born, but I had to act quickly because they were going out of style when my last son was born (2004), they came in 24K or Sterling Silver and were a little expensive.

Hi Jeanne, I saw your post on the RI forum. Just wanted to put in my
2 sense on the bracelet idea. I think swarovski crystals are a great idea,
along with the silver alphabet beads. I don't know much about
jewelry making but I going to throw some ideas at you. I was thinking
about colors: Maybe a rainbow of colors similar to the cherubs logo,
personalize them by birthstone, or pick a color similar to the ribbons
for all bracelets. Since it would be an awareness bracelet I was
thinking that it should say CDH on it somewhere. Either with the
alphabet beads or maybe a charm that says CDH on it. Let me
know what you think!!
Also, I just wanted to say i am very sorry for your loss. I think it
is wonderful that you have joined Cherubs to help support Corin and
your grandson!

treasure island jewelry company is an online wholesaler that does custom engraving.

Oriental Trading has custom rubber bracelets, lanyards and keychains for cheap. I purchase from them a few time. Sometimes it's cheesy sometime it's top quality.

The heart bracelet with Cherubs on one side and the child's name on the other would be cute.

I don't get it. I'm going to be a real poop here, but isn't one of the goals to be able to wear something that makes a statement and makes people aware of CDH. When I see a lapel pin, especially a ribbon, I automatically think "awareness to something". When I see someone wearing a bracelet, I don't bat an eye. Most everyone wears them. It's like its so common that its ignored. Don't take me wrong; I like bracelets, but I'm just afraid that it would go by unrecognized and that would defeat our purpose.

Tammy Pettus-Kopacz
10-17-2007, 01:01 PM
I get what your saying, but on the other hand. There are people who see an awareness ribbon as just another ribbon. There are tons and tons of ribbons out there. I think a bracelet is more personable. If someone is willing to notice it and ask about it they are truly concerned and want to listen. (just my opinion).

Besides, there are plenty of items already in the cherubs store that send an awareness message. That's why I also suggested, the rubber bracelets (also a million of them out there).

I was thinking of something like this bracelet as more of a gift to a mother or grandmother of a cherub.

Dawn Torrence Ireland
10-17-2007, 01:03 PM
Well, we could do ribbons too but they are trendy, every color is already taken and they don't last and well, why be like everyone else? ;) First it was the rubber bracelets and now ribbons. How many of us have broken and/or faded rubber bracelets and ribbons? We talked a bit about ribbons over at http://www.cdhsupport.org/members/viewtopic.php?t=749 and listed what all the colors mean and which organizations are already using them, etc. For example, at least 8 organizations use a red ribbon, 6 with silver, 13 for dark purple, etc.

Jewelry can be different, maybe a bracelet or a necklace or both. We can be bright and bold and DIFFERENT and catch the eyes of others and make them ask "Hey, what does that mean? What's that for?". Just a little creativity and we can do it. :)

Maybe glass beads in the 6 main rainbow colors that we use on our logo, with beads that say CHERUBS between them or CDH Awareness and on the other side of the beads your cherubs name, with 2 cherub charms on each side or something. We have to be careful with the rainbow colors though, as there is a very well-known organization for gay and lesbian rights that used the rainbow.

Or maybe like the logo characters we can use bright colors for the rainbows for some and pastel for other and then no matter what we wear, we'll always match. I'm big on matching my clothes, call me OCD but I have to have *everything* matching or it bugs me all day, even if no know one else knows or notices - so being stuck with one color ribbon on every outfit does not appeal to me.

Some of us have been wearing cherub / angel pins for years and are often asked why we are wearing them. I'm sure Judi can tell some great stories of all the pins she wore for years at work at the Pentagon.

Jeanne is coming up with a few ideas I think? And she posted a great link too - www.charmfactory.com

Dawn Torrence Ireland
10-17-2007, 04:04 PM
Thinking about this all afternoon.... if everyone really wants ribbons, let's do something no other organization is doing and something that will reflect our cherubs. How about light blue with white clouds and we can wear a cherub/angel pendant in the middle? Maybe we can find a magnet company who can do that and not charge us to make a ton of them up front. And a ribbon company that sells ribbon with clouds and we can order directly from them and each make ribbons for family and friends.

But I don't think we should give up on the jewelry idea - we can do both! :)

On www.charmfactory.com under the awareness ribbons section there are some interesting concepts. I like how for autism they used a standard ribbon but instead of it being a color they put puzzle pieces on it. What about something like sterling silver ribbons that have little cherubs engraved on them or something along that lines. It could be made into a pin or on our jackets or as a charm for a bracelet or necklace.

karahess
10-17-2007, 04:20 PM
Be careful with that rainbow beads concept - that's what the Gay Pride groups use. That might really send the wrong message :duh:

Dawn Torrence Ireland
10-17-2007, 04:47 PM
Looking at their site I kinda like the idea of a silver ribbon too, with a cherub silhouette on the bottom. Or clouds. Or something. I like how the Autism Society did theirs, it's original. We have almost 2000 people here, surely we can come up with something better than a plain ole color. We need something original. If we have a ribbon, it has to be one that catches the eye and makes someone say "I've never seen one like that before! I wonder what organization that's for and what they do".

Speaking of original, been looking at charms and ribbons sites the last half hour or so and can across a ribbon that said "Help, I'm being held captive in a ribbon factory!". LOL, too cute.

something I'd buy several for christmas gifts!!!

KateC
01-03-2008, 09:57 PM
I am so happy I found this topic! I hope to get it going again. I make crafts. I have recently been making jewlery. Funny thing is I was looking through my catalog today and found so many cherub charms. I thought, what agreat idea to make these for all of us. If someone could give me some ideas on what they would like, I could order the supplies, make a bracelet, post the picture and get some feedback. I can try and post some pictures of the charms. It is a little on the expensive side, sterling silver, glass beads. It would take me some time to make. Please let me know and I will get started on it as soon as possible!!

StephanieOlivarez
01-03-2008, 10:24 PM
I loved both charms and the bracelet.
I would love to be your first customer.
I also like the charms you where talking about....faith, hope, love, mom...the only other thing I would like to have would be an S for my cherub Shelby.
I love glass beads-how would you make a bracelet with those and the charms? Can that be done? I have no clue what it intails to make jewerly. But I am so interested.
Please let me know what we should do next?

KateC
01-04-2008, 06:10 PM
I have done so much research today! I even found Cherub jewlery boxes! There are ways to add the beads on. I am new to this still. I am meeting with a lady tonight to talk about everything. I have so many ideas running through my head! I'll order the supplies and try to make a couple bracelets. I will try to post some pictures of the charms and what I am looking at doing. Thanks so much for the interest Stephanie! I am really excited to be doing this!

How about birthstones added on?
I have one that simply says grace :-)
I also found the site that carries the business cards we made
www.colorfulimages.com
My angel one is gone ut they had some awesome ones that are 2 sided ...250 for 21$
I ordered one pack.
Dawn I can send you the 'random acts' cards for you to design.
( I know that just might be the straw right??)
Up top where it says search on the colorfulimages site, type in business cards.

Dawn Torrence Ireland
01-04-2008, 11:40 PM
LOL, Lise. Random Acts cards sounds like an awesome idea to me!!!! We could do those for CHERUBS to raise awareness and do good deeds all at once. Care to start a thread for that to get opinions and input? :)

StephanieOlivarez
01-05-2008, 11:51 AM
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with Kate.

Can someone explain these Random Act cards to me?

I have a decal on the back of my car almost exactly like yours! Yours is huge tho!!! I gotta get my cdh ribbon! My wallet is in the car and I forget to bring my credit card up( i know excuses excuses)
The bracelet is so pretty. You just add the charms right?
If you go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby they sell some really cool charms and usually have 50% off in the paper

JeanneNava
01-09-2008, 11:11 AM
I have already designed a bracelet and have made one for Corin. I took a picture of it and will try to post it tonight. I've been away on vacation and don't have the ability to put pictures on my old computer. The one I made is with Swarvoski crystals and sterling silver spacers and alphabet beads (CDH) , but is not a charm bracelet like the one Kate is making. I have also attached a sterling silver awareness ribbon to the clasp. I will be selling mine for $30 (my cost is $20) and I will donate $10 of each sale to CHERUBS. I don't want to compete with anyone for sales, I am not making any money from this so it doesn't matter to me who you order from. It looks like this will give everyone a couple of different styles to choose from. I am happy to see that there is so much interest in this subject.

JeanneNava
01-15-2008, 12:36 PM
Thank you for the compliments. They are made with Swarovski crystals and sterling silver alphabet beads(yes, they say CDH). I wish I could come to the conference but July is a busy time for me at work, it's the end of the fiscal year for us. I'm not sure if I can get the time off. I usually have problems getting vacation time in June and July. I'll have to wait & see. A beading session would be fun!

Hi Stephanie,
Yes I am taking orders for the bracelets. Anyone who is interested should send me a private message.
I received your package yesterday afternoon. I will call you tonight when I get home from work to discuss the options for the quilt style. I'm not sure if there is a time difference between Indiana and Rhode Island but I usually get home about 3:30.
Talk to you soon.

I finally got the supplies/charms for the bracelet. I started putting it together today. I wasn't pleased with some of the charms, so I am going to order some more. Just wanted to keep eveyone informed.

I also may order those cellephone pulls, maybe get some earing? Anyone interested?

JeanneNava
01-18-2008, 04:09 PM
Kate,
This is Jeanne, the other jewelry maker. May I ask where you buy your supplies? So far I have purchased from Firemountain Gems and Artbeads.com. I've had good luck with both these companies. Firemountain has a flat $5 shipping fee and Artbeads ships for free.I am always looking for new sources for supplies. The prices in the retail stores are just so expensive and most of the time, they don't have what I need. I look forward to seeing your finished charm bracelet.
Hugs
Jeanne

StephanieOlivarez
01-18-2008, 07:31 PM
I am interested in earrings for sure!!!!!
I also like the cellphone pulls idea.

I can't wait to see your bracelets Kate!!!!!

KateC
01-18-2008, 07:57 PM
Jeanne, one of my friend started making jewlery. She ordered from Firemountain gems. So I started :) It just seemed awhile for everything so get in (it might of just been me though) I am doing great on the charm bracelet. Some of the charms just didn't look right with the look I was going for, so I'll use them on something else. I'm always craftin little things. I paint, I looove to make clay figures, now I started jewlery. If I need help, I may have to pm you!!! It's such intricate work!! I also found little Cherub laquer boxes, did you see thos ein the magazine?? I think it's 12 for like $11??? I thought it was soo neat!! I'm using the 4mm beads and I can barely see anything anymore!!

When I put in the order for the new charms, I'll get some earings and the pulls too!!

StephanieOlivarez
01-18-2008, 08:17 PM

Kate-will you post a picture when you are done?

Dawn Torrence Ireland
01-18-2008, 11:03 PM
Jeanne and Kate, I'm working on the new CDH Awareness section of the site and want to include the jewelry. I'd like to post photos and either your contact info and prices or directions on making them and where to get supplies, etc. Whatever you'd like to do. Just let me know.

KateC
01-19-2008, 10:00 AM
Great! I am still in the works on mine, but this would be such a great activity for famillies. You can do such simple bracelets even for kids!!

Have you thought of birthstones??
I was at Michaels today w/ Nick( he has to make a cell: neucleous, cytoplasma, reticular something or other) and I saw those block letters. Do you know they come in colors? I have a bunch of round letters . I got ours at Hobby Lobby. I have never seen them at Michaels.
I'll go thru my box ~ if you want them i'll send them to you???

KateC
01-20-2008, 01:43 PM
That's awesome Lise, thank you. I haven't been to Michaels recently, the store relocated a bit aways from my house, I will have to check it out though. I have not looked at Birthstones anything yet. One day I would just like for people to tell me what charms they like, me roder them and put the bracelets together. If you want birthstones, you'll get em! :wink: Just have to look for some. What month/color??

I was just downstairs in my daughter, Victoria's room looking for our box 'o beads. Couldn't find them. I knew I took them away when emmie started to crawl( Victoria truly needs a maid) :-)
Then i was at the wet bar helping nick w/ a science project and there was my beads!!!
I have lots of small beads w/ letters in color. They are about the size of the zero in the numbers on the keyboardabove the O&P...maybe a tad smaller.
They are flat on both sides but round in shape. If you would like then i'll mail them to you.

My first CDH bracelet. The charms are sterling silver it's an elastic cord, so it can stretch and you can get it wet.This one has light rose and crystal beads. I have light blue beads if someone would like that better. I will incorporate both for the charm bracelet. Just waiting for some more charms to come in. I like lighters colors and tried to stay very innocent like.

Hi, I'm back. I've been busy all weekend and haven't had a chance to log on. To answer your questions:
Dawn, of course you can post a picture of my bracelet with the price and contact info. I think my g-mail address will be the best since I check that one more often. It is byjeanne@gmail.com. (That's the one I use to be notified of new posts on this subject)
Kate, I got the alphabet beads at artbeads.com. They have free shipping with no minimum purchase. Of course the more you buy the better the price.
Lise, the crystals come in many different colors including birthstone colors. I can make my bracelets in any color you want. They can be one color or any combination. Just ask.
Stephanie, I will also order some of the cherub boxes from Firemountain. I'll ship my bracelets in them too!
If there are any other questions, feel free to pm me.

Jeanne that is such an awesome site! They have so many charms! Thank you so much!
I thought Lise was askin about birthstone charms LOL, I can be flighty!

We should start a little CDH jewlery site! That would be so awesome! I was thinking, you know how you can rent tables at craft shows? Rent a table sell the bracelets, and include CDH info packet!! Or I know there are craft stores where you can rent a table for however long and bring your stuff in, people buy it at the store, and the store gives you your money!! If only the hubby would let me quit work! I would do this 24/7!

01-22-2008, 09:09 PM
You should check w/ local elementry schools to find out when they have craft shows. Or churches. Renting a table for 25$ sometimes...Maybe going in on it w/ someone.

I did ask about birthstones...:-)

****QUESTION*****
Have we ever thought of getting a silicone bracelet made?!? Now that's a good idea! Guys love to wear those! I even heard that Kenny Chesney wears them at his concerts while singing "Who'd you be today" If you send them to him? I love him! (For those that don't know, he is a country singer)

A guy at work had one made after his niece died. He said it is real easy to get made? What does eveyone think? Have we looked into this? If not, should we?

I mean, they are pretty cheap, and we could give those to so many people!

karahess
01-22-2008, 10:05 PM
Silicone - I'm sorry, I'm clueless as to what these look like. I can't possibly imagine. But of course, I'm not much of a jewelry person, so I'm probably way duh about this subject altogether.

Any good links that might give me a better idea of what its like?

KateC
01-22-2008, 10:12 PM
This one is copyrighted, but it was the only one I could think of off the top of my head. This is a different organization's bracelet. We could get a tie die one (all different colors), the says Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness??

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u273/shannonsmommy/silicone_bracelet.jpg

I just like the fact that guys love these things . . . so it's good for Daddy's brother's Uncle's whatever!

karahess
01-22-2008, 10:20 PM
Needs more diamonds and sapphires on it :c6

Corin Nava
01-22-2008, 10:40 PM
I think I remember this being suggested before around the same time we were discussing awareness ribbons....but I could be wrong. They might be something worth looking into.

StephanieOlivarez
01-22-2008, 10:45 PM
Great minds think alike.
I had asked Dawn about these and she said, well I don't remember what she said. Dawn, do you remember this discussion?

LiseDill
01-23-2008, 02:57 PM
I know we talked about them on boh way back when. But nothing ever materialized from it.
I like the idea but just wonder how outdated it is.
I'm a glitter girl Kara!!!! :-)

karahess
01-23-2008, 03:05 PM
I haven't a clue as to if they're outdated or not, but in my region of the country they are worn not by adults but by kids in the 6-14 year old range. Whenever I see one, I think about kids.

Maybe that's a whole nother idea . . . . . a few months back someone on here was talking about having CDH fashions for the pre-teen and teenagers. Was that you, Lise? Would these bracelets go well in that category?

LiseDill
01-23-2008, 03:12 PM
Probably....Was it that long ago? Where'd I put my memory pills???
:-)
Hey kara, can you email me at my home?
dill6@cox.net

KateC
01-23-2008, 04:22 PM
I thought a lot of people wore them? I know a lot of guys I work with do. Then again . . . kids, men, is there a difference?

I know teenagers where them. If we got a tie die of all colors, I am sure they would. I think these will reach people who may not like to be glitzy, plus ther are cheap cheap cheap 2, 3, 4 bucks max?

Nothing ever hurts to try I guess! Any one mind if I look into it for poops and giggles?

Kara - teenager stuff was Dawn and Lise a couple weeks ago I think . . . talking about clothes?

StephanieOlivarez
01-23-2008, 04:45 PM
I would be interested in these. Yes-please do get the information and let us know.
I know kids and men and women would wear these.
Even at the two hospitals we go to- they sell them in their gift shops.

karahess
01-23-2008, 05:07 PM
Isn't that funny how styles vary across the country? I betcha less than 5% of the population in my area wears them. They were really big about 3-4 years ago with the kids, but still the adults never wore them. Too tacky for them, I guess. It's so much more cool to expose your underwear :oops:

As for me, I haven't worn a bracelet since 1990. . . . . . I'm such a minimalist with jewelry.

karahess
01-23-2008, 05:49 PM
Kate, can you come up with any keychain awareness idea?

StephanieOlivarez
01-23-2008, 05:59 PM
Good question Kara.
I love the 2 keychains I have. It took me months to find just the ones I wanted and this would be one I would want. Remember Dawn had said something about Zazzle.com? I am going to re-look at it.

StephanieOlivarez
01-23-2008, 06:05 PM
Just looking under CDH awareness keychains at zazzle.com and there was none. I believe Dawn had stated this.
This would be awesome.
I did see boh stamps. They were nice.
Are we still interested in the stamps?

KateC
01-23-2008, 06:46 PM
I just posted on the stamp thread about making keychains :)

I could make one with a Cherub angel on the end, awareness ribbon, any sort of charm. I cannot however use a generalized CHERUBS sort of picture on the end. Let me order some thing and see what I can come up! I'll still check on the silicone bracelets.

What the heck is zazzle.com?

StephanieOlivarez
01-23-2008, 07:10 PM
Sounds good Kate.
You are good to be able to do all these crafty things.
Go check out zazzle.com. It is cool.

karahess
01-24-2008, 10:35 AM
What about using letter cubes in the keychain that would spell out CDH?

KateC
01-24-2008, 07:24 PM
Great idea!! I will order some!

KateC
01-24-2008, 09:11 PM
Any way we can get a fund going to purchase silicone bracelts if we get enough interested in them? That way, we can sell them and strictly CHERUBS gets the money in sales? Can we sell them on cafepress if we would buy them? You can buy 100 for anywhere bewteen 120-150? You can also turn those into keychains and buy them? Just some ideas? What all can you put on cafepress? Is it for items they can make only?

Dawn Torrence Ireland
02-12-2008, 06:33 PM
Cafepress doesn't offer them. Yes, we can only offer items that they make, though I just created an account at zazzle.com for postage stamps and keychains.

Since I have t-shirts and cookbooks still overtaking my house that we're trying to sell after ordering them years ago... I'd rather we didn't order anything else in bulk for a while.

What's the latest on the jewelry? Did our 2 jewelry makers get in touch and make a plan yet? (yes, that's a huge hint! lol).

StephanieOlivarez
02-12-2008, 06:50 PM
I am going to check out zazzle.com!!!How exciting!!
Are the recipes from the cookbook from members? When was it made? Is is still for sale?

Dawn Torrence Ireland
02-12-2008, 06:58 PM
Keychains are up at http://www.zazzle.com/cherubs

Nothing fancy but they are there if anyone wants to buy any.

KateC
02-12-2008, 07:04 PM
I have finished my bracelet, earings and the lanyard chains but I just haven't had time to get a picture of them. I have to remind the hubby to bring home the camera from work. It is beautiful, I swear I'll get a picture by this weekend. I was thinking of making different bracelets, too. Birthstone ones, I just have to order the beads and suhc for it. I can't wait to go part time at work. Plus I have class Mon-Thurs. My days are SOOO exhausting. I am fixing up the house we are moving in to, too. I wish there were more hours in the day!

KateC
02-12-2008, 07:05 PM
Oh Dawn I love those keychains!!!

StephanieOlivarez
02-12-2008, 07:10 PM
I love the Keychains too!!!!
Where are the stamps? I could not find them!!

Kate-I can't wait to see what the bracelet looks like. I bet it is beautiful and the earrings to. Also the lanyard chains.
I wish there were more hours in the day also!!!!!

Corin Nava
02-13-2008, 10:19 AM
The keychains and stamps look great!!!!

KateC
02-24-2008, 03:54 PM
I finally took pictures of the jewlery - took me long enough, I have been done with these for a month!

Sorry if the pictures are not the best, I could not figure out how to get zoomed in close enough without it getting blurry. I need to invest in a new camera before the twins come!!

StephanieOlivarez
02-24-2008, 04:05 PM
Kate-EVERYTHING looks great!!!
I want to place my order-one of all!!!!
I LOVE the box with the two cherubs and one of the cherubs is kissing the other. DARLING!!!
The pictures look good.
You have done a FANTASTIC JOB!!!!

KateC
02-24-2008, 04:08 PM
Those came out so small!! Well, try this website and you can view them full size.

http://good-times.webshots.com/album/562598259aHpFle

I hope that works better!

StephanieOlivarez
02-24-2008, 04:21 PM
Kate-Good call on putting them on that site-you can click on the picture and it comes up great and the details are easier to see.
I looked at the bracelet and it is beautiful!!!!!

StephanieOlivarez
02-25-2008, 06:57 PM
I ordered keychains from zazzle.com and they came today. They look AWESOME!!!
I ordered the one with the new CDH logs (it is way cool) and I ordered some for the ATV Ride for CHERUBS and they turned out fantastic!!!
Thanks Dawn for getting keychains on zazzle.

KateC
02-26-2008, 09:51 AM
I forgot to tell everyone that everything is sterling silver. So if anyone is interetsed in them, let me know!

Dawn Torrence Ireland
03-03-2008, 03:26 PM
First time I've seen the photos (sorry I've been so slack on keeping updated, just swamped right now)... Kate, they are GORGEOUS!!!!!! Just beautiful!!!! Ok, how can we reproduce these? Are you giving instructions? Selling them? Fill me in please. :)

They are beautiful!!!!

KateC
03-03-2008, 03:33 PM
Thanks Dawn!! If someone that is crafty would rather make it themselves, then I could have the directions for them. If someone is not so crafty and would rather just buy it, then I can do that, too! It was easy to make the earing and laynards! I have to order more supplies, I would like to make birthstone bracelets, too. Maybe I can order more charms for different earings and such. I haven't really thought of prices. I am not too good with that sort of stuff. I guess I should probably think about that . . .

KateC
03-13-2008, 10:45 AM
I am sorry, I never posted prices.

$30 Bracelet

$10 Earrings

$5 Cherub laynards

A portion of the sales will go to CHERUBS. The rest will go to pay for supplies/postage.

I am making a page on Shannon's website today for everything. Hopefully, I can include bigger pictures LOL.

E-mail/PM me if you are interested!!

If you are crafty, and would like to make everything yourself, e-mail/pm me and I will send you a supply list and directions!

Shanell Browand
03-15-2008, 01:01 PM
I have had a couple of braceltes that are silicone and I love them. I found this site where you can create your very own customized bracelets. There are many other sites that we can choose from, but I just thought I should share this with you

03-15-2008, 01:12 PM
It looks like our color is turquoise or teal for the CDH, so what if we got some angel wings, either turquoise, teal, or silver, and then in the same colors on the braclet, we right " CHERUBS" or something, I found this site

http://www.craftsnscraps.com/awareness/tealribbons.html

KateC
03-15-2008, 01:12 PM
Shannell that is awesome, and you don't even have to buy them in bulk!!! I looked at trying to get some, but every site I found you had to buy 100 plus . . . this is just great! I have to bookmark this site and get some made up! Thanks so much!!

StephanieOlivarez
03-15-2008, 03:25 PM
What are they going to look like Kate?

KateC
03-16-2008, 10:13 AM
Oh I have so many things I am working on right now!! I am ordering supplies for three new bracelets. One will be a birthstone bracelet with the cherub's name on it (just like Lise had asked about) the other is a bracelet that will say "Mother to a Cherub" I can change Mother to anything though, I am just starting with that, It can say Aunt, Grandma, Sister, whatever....it will have CHERUBS colors for the beads. I will also be working on a survivor bracelet for parent/child/teen with pearls. I also order some silicone bracelets from the site Shannell gave us. Those will be rainbow that say CDH Awareness and CHERUBS website on the back. They are pretty cheap, about 6 bucks for one. Ew just wait, I have so many ideas running through my head!! I am also trying to get a page set up on Shannon's website to post the pictures. I have not gotten very far. Betwenn the pregnancy, fixing up the house, my puppy, the holidays, school and work, I am going bonkers. I should probably be at the othe rhouse right now doing something, but I like posting on CHERUBS more. Steve may not like it, but he doesn't have to know that's what I have been doing all morning LOL!

Dawn Torrence Ireland
03-16-2008, 04:02 PM
Silicone bracelets.... can we find a place that will do the baby colors with the clouds? Turquoise... ugh, let's just avoid that drama, besides that color is already used by several groups. Rainbow... that's the band for the Gay Pride group right? If you all really want silicone awareness bracelets, ok, but let's find something we can say is just ours. But personally, I think the beaded bracelets are sooooo much prettier!!!! :)

To Our Jewelry experts here.... is there any place you can recommend that would make our ribbons on charms? Enamel over metal or something? I put in estimate requests to several places but if any of you know some place that can do this, cheaply, let me know please! For the bracelets, pins, etc... we really need some ribbons.

Barbara and KevinWagner

This is a pretty neat site as u can put your own graphics on dog tags and other stuff here!

KateC

I LOVE your work!! That i a great talent to have!!

Dawn Torrence Ireland
03-16-2008, 05:09 PM
Very cool sites, looking at them now. Will e-mail them for estimates as well. I wish we could find a site that could make the ribbons for under $10 each (under $5 preferably) and put them on charms and pins for us and sell them from their site like the bumper stickers are sold. I don't want us to have to buy 100 or 1000 of these things and then resell them. You guys know I'm slow on mail already! :)

Barbara and KevinWagner
03-16-2008, 05:12 PM
LOL Dawn! I am looking for a site like that. I will keep searching!

StephanieOlivarez
03-16-2008, 08:07 PM
Kate-everything your working on sounds beautiful!!!
Don't be pushing yourself to hard!!!!
I am so into wearing anything to support CHERUBS and CDH---Barb and Dawn--do let us know what you find.
Kate-when you get the pictures up--let us know!!I am super excited to see what you create and you know whatever you make is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

KateC
03-18-2008, 04:04 PM
Dawn, I will email a lady who had special awareness beads/charms made to see how where she had them done.

KateC
04-08-2008, 08:01 PM
Well I was a little busy the past week but was able to make another bracelet. This is the Birthstone Bracelet, $20 for adult, $10 for child. Birthstone beads plus the name is blocks. Lise has asked about it so this one's for Lise and Grace!

I am not a good picture taker. I have to say though, I love this bracelet. I had to order more supplies for the other bracelets I wanted to make. I keep changing my mind, but what else is new . . .

KateC
04-08-2008, 08:03 PM
I almost forgot, there are two awareness ribbons, one before the name and one after. I am still working on putting these on Shannon's website. I move slow...

Barbara and KevinWagner
04-08-2008, 08:09 PM
Oh Kate! It is beautiful!!! how do we order?!?! Please please let me know!

DanielleGolding
04-09-2008, 03:45 AM
You are doing a beautiful job with your jewellery making Kate. I was on a website earlier that had a lot of beautiful beads with various coloured ribbons. There was a teale one there but from what I can gather have we dropped that idea??? I thought I'd make one for Lily. I liked the idea of the silicone bracelets too but that's just me. Anyway I'll see if I can put in a link to that site for you. It's also got some different sterling silver ribbons.

04-09-2008, 04:27 PM
Oh Danielle that is wonderful!! I love all of those beads!! I will have to think of something new now, that are so neat!! I just bought some shell beads to see what they would look like . . . thank you!!

StephanieOlivarez
04-09-2008, 05:17 PM
Kate- as usual--you have outdone yourself!!!
They are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
I will be e-mailing you soon!!!!
Thanks for working on these bracelets!!!!

KateC
04-09-2008, 05:26 PM
Aw thanks Steph!!!

DanielleGolding
04-09-2008, 05:35 PM
So is teale the colour for CDH???- if so I was thinking of getting some of those little glass beads with the teale ribbons.

KateC
04-09-2008, 05:40 PM
I don't think we are using teal because BOH uses it. I think Dawn is more trying the yellow pink and blue, like our ribbons. When I order them, I will probably get all three of those colors. Am I correct on that Dawn? I wish we had our own personalized ones! That would be so neat!

StephanieOlivarez
04-09-2008, 07:46 PM
No, teal is not our color. We as CHERUBS have a BEAUTIFUL ribbon--that members voted on!!!
It is simply BEAUTIFUL!!! I will get the link to it--please give me a minute.
But--to share - it is without BEAUTIFUL.

DanielleGolding
04-09-2008, 07:50 PM
That's fair enough, thanks for clarifying. Yeah I think I'll do a charm bracelet or something with all three colours. I'm with you though, it would be great to have our own personalised one!!!!

JeanneNava
04-10-2008, 11:36 AM
Stephanie, with all this talk of bracelets, I wanted to remind people that I have bracelets made with the Cherubs colors and CDH beads. They can see it in my photo section. Yours is finished and I will be putting it in the mail to you tomorrow. I'm really sorry it took so long, but I've been busy since Christmas dealing with medical issues (my own and my parents'). Also, Makayla's arrival has taken up a lot of my crafting/sewing time as I've been making some basic baby essentials for Corin.
I have some free time now so if anyone wants a bracelet, send me an IM and I'll get one right out to you.
Thanks

StephanieOlivarez
04-10-2008, 12:23 PM
This is great news Jeanne.
Please don't be saying sorry----I know how it is being sick, having to do with helping parents and you know you have to make things for that sweet baby Makayla!!!!!She is darling!!!!!
I will send a check for $30.00 to you today or tomorrow.
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

Here's the new bracelet I have made:

Matching Earings:

The charm on the bracelet:
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u273/shannonsmommy/artbeads_1998_300492293.gif

The bracelet is an "In memory of" bracelet with the little angel charms. I made this one with baby blue pearls for a little boy, but I can also make one for a little girl in this rosaline pearl:
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u273/shannonsmommy/artbeads_1995_106918649.gif

The bracelet is $25.00. The earings are $5.00.

I will be making a survivor bracelet as soon as I get the charm. They will look exactly like this bracelet just different charms. You can have either color, too. I will post pictures with the rosaline beads. Here is what that charm will look like:

04-24-2008, 06:46 PM
I totally forgot to say this . . . To order the bracelets you can go to Shannon's website. Look for the jewlery page. You can order the bracelets using Paypal. It's quick, safe and easy!

Donna Easley
04-25-2008, 07:54 AM
Kate-They are absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be sending my order in soon.

StephanieOlivarez
04-25-2008, 09:21 AM
Kate-as usual everything looks great!!
Can I add on to my order for the survivor bracelet and the earrings?
They are again BEAUTIFUL!!! Let me know what I need to pay on paypal.
Did it go through yesturday?

I want to say that I received my CHERUBS bracelet from Jeanne and it is also BEAUTIFUL!! The beads are the colors of CHERUBS-the bright colors and they shine and I have received SO many compliments!!
I can't wait to be able to wear Jeanne's and Kate's!!!
Thank goodness I have two wrists!!!!lol

Thanks Ladies for working so hard on the jewerly.

DanielleGolding
05-03-2008, 02:09 AM
Kate,
I really love your jewellery. After Ethan was born I bought a 'mummy tag', like dog tags. It has his name and DOB. Brenton said he'd get me one for Lily for Mothers Day and the place in Aust where I got it from doesn't order them anymore.
Anyhow I did a search and found a UK site. I'll add the link here because I thought that you and others might be interested.
They have a gorgeous guardian angel remembrance tag also that I thought you might like for Shannon.
Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Anyway you might or might not like them but just wanted to share with you and others xxxxx

KateC
05-04-2008, 12:05 PM
Thanks Danielle, those are beautiful! I bookmardked that. I will have to order when when I get some extra $$$$

AmyMiles
05-04-2008, 05:48 PM
You ladies are so crafty! I wish I could be that crafty!

Kate- My sister bought me matching bracelets mother/daughter before Faith passed. They had the same type of clasp as you have on yours. We buried Faith with her bracelet and a CHERUBS ribbon. have you thought about making little ones for parents to give to their CDH babes?

StephanieOlivarez
05-04-2008, 07:40 PM
I received bracelets from Kate yesturday and they are BEAUTIFUL!!
She even made one for Shelby and it is also beautiful. Shelby loves hers and I love mine.
I am honored to be able to wear Kate and Jeanne's bracelets.
You both have such a great talent.

Thanks

karahess
05-05-2008, 12:19 PM
Another site that has some pretty and personalized jewelry is
www.generationgems.com

I like how you can have the name of your children and their birthdates engraved onto the beads. Very cool!

KateC
05-05-2008, 08:40 PM
Amy, that is so sweet. I actually just had a friend do the same for me. I am going to keep Shannon's in her keepsake box. I like that Faith was burried with that, that is so special. I have thought of that, but I am not really sure how big baby's wrists are :) (Just ask Stephanie, I am sure Shelby's was a bit big LOL)

Kate,
Girl, we completely understand. You take all the time you need to get ready for these girls. Don't forget to take some time for yourself.
