Lise,
I am charging $30 for the bracelets, which includes postage. I will donate $10 to CHERUBS for each one that I sell.
Stephanie,
I can call you later on tonight. I have ulimited long distance from Verizon so it won't cost me anything to call you. How about 7:00 my time or is that too soon?
Jeanne
-
Jeanne-that sounds perfect. I'll talk with you soon.
-
Jeanne-
I really enjoyed talking with you this evening.
I am so excited about the quilt you are making for Shelby. I know it is going to be beautiful!
You are so kind to do this for us.
Have a great evening.

MY birthday is coming up...I'm telling mark :-)
-
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?
-
what was wrong with the ordered ones? Were they angels...I forgot what your charms were supposed to look like....
-
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
-
I am interested in earrings for sure!!!!!
I also like the cellphone pulls idea.
I can't wait to see your bracelets Kate!!!!!
-
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!!
-
What do the CHERUBS laquer boxes look like?
Kate-will you post a picture when you are done?
-
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.
-
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!!
Steph I'll post a pic of the boxes when I get home (I think I am going to be late for my app)
-
Kate-how are you today? I hope your day is filled with happiness.
-
I can't figure out how to post pictures . . .
Here's the link of what the boxes look like

It would be a great place to keep CDH bracelets or any important jewerly.
Thanks for posting the link.
Are you ordering the boxes?
-
I am going to , if you want here's the site I buy from:
http://www.firemountaingems.com/?wt.srch=1&engine=overture!3013&keyword=Fire+Mount ain+Gems
I am going to put the CDH awareness jewlery in the boxes to ship out, isn't that a cute idea?!?
jeanne - where did you get the block letters? I can't find them on firemountain??
-
I think that is a cute idea.
I have placed my order with Jeanne and can I place my order with you?
-
No need :wink:
I am making a couple, I'll post pics of the one I just made, it's simple, but I like the other charm one I making making!!
I plan on making ones for kids, grandmas, parents . . . I just need to find those block letter charms for those....
-
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???
-
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.
-
I don't want to take them if you will be using them, but if you're not, sure I will!!
-
we haven't used them in 4 years. If it's not something you could use, you can say so :-) I promise I won't be offended.
Nothing offends me ....except Mark :-)
-
Lise- GO Patriots!!! They played a great game yesturday and off to the super bowl they go!!!!
I bet you guys are excited.!!!!!!!
-
I know!! I cannot watch tho. Only if they are winning by alot. I'm so stinkin' Italian I get nervous for a bunch of men in tights that I don't even know!!!!
My favorite cousin and her hubby are huge Giants fans so this is great. They are in NYC ..I wish we could watch the game together :-(
I thinkit's amazingt hat they have been undeated, setting like 7 or 8 records because of this. I like them cus they pray. I'm a much for a man who prays
-
I agree on the praying. We have talked about this before and it proves prayer can take you a long way!!!!
-
Yea as much as i'm a 'much' for a praying man....it should be a MUSH...:-(
-
Men in tights, huh? Interesting visual!
-
Kara- your cracking me up!
Men in tights!!!!!VERY interesting visual. I am smiling while I type this!!!
-
Dirty minds LOL!! It is great to see @ the games tho. I must say I have to boo Patriots (Go Steelers, even though they whopped us like little girls!!) I do hope they win the SB again though!
Lise, please send them if you are sure you won't be using them!
-
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.

I think it is BEAUTIFUL!!!
It is just perfect.
I can't wait to see the charm bracelet.
You did a fine job.

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!
-
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!
-
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?
-
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/u...e_bracelet.jpg
I just like the fact that guys love these things . . . so it's good for Daddy's brother's Uncle's whatever!
-
Needs more diamonds and sapphires on it :c6
-
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.
