Blue Room Gems Jewelry Giveaway! CLOSED

There is this scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where everyone is freaking out in the restaurant. The girl is chasing the diamond and Indy is chasing the antidote. The girl sees the diamond and jumps for it, but a bucket of ice falls and obscures the view of the gem.

Now if there wasn't a mob scene in the restaurant, I bet she could have found the diamond, but what's wrong with wearing a piece of ice around one's neck? Nothing... nothing at all.

That's what I get to do with this necklace from Blue Room Gems. It really does look like a piece of ice, and I LOVE wearing it around my neck. Dressed up or down, it's unique and fun!

Jen, the designer behind Blue Room Gems, picked up jewelry making spontaneously... and Jen is a planner so this was something new. She loved jewelry so much but couldn't always afford the quantity of items to match the quality and one day the little voice inside her head said she could make her own.

Jewelry making began as a hobby, an incredible creative outlet. It was the first time Jen ever felt like an artist, and she plans to continue making jewelry until her eyes and hands give out... seriously that's what she said. She officially became a jewelry business owner last summer and has been blessed with some success.

Jen's creations are inspired by beautiful beads. Her goal is to highlight them and make them the focal point of the design. She favor gemstones because mother nature is the ultimate artist! The colors and textures found in natural materials are more stunning than anything man-made.

Jen's goal is to create beautiful, well-made jewelry for women who, like her, live on a budget. And she would like to offer one of you, your choice of item from her shop up to $20.

Creepy Crafts Giveaway! CLOSED

I don't have a costume for halloween this year. Usually I do something slutty because it is of course the one time of the year when it is acceptable. This year I shunned the slut and welcomed the dark fashionista...

I've got a great outfit that would be perfect for all my party invites as long as I added some creepy accessories. I couldn't think of a better place to look than agonysdecay's Creepy Crafts on etsy. Jenny, the designer, makes very cool, very creepy, very fashionable accessories for any dark affair.

She began designing jewelry in her late teens. Initially, she only made jewelry for friends as gifts. Then she began selling on Gothauctions and Gothicauctions and began making jewelry to sell.

Jenny finds inspiration in the darker, more macabre side of life. It is Halloween all year round in her world, and she likes to create pieces that reflect that. If you're having a gothic-style wedding, birthday, or get-together, Jenny can absolutely custom-make pieces for all members of the party! If you are looking to make a large order for your wedding, birthday, or get-together, please give Jenny an ample amount of time before your event. This way she has time to get your spppoooookkkyyys to you on time!

Jenny's designs are unique because they are shared by a limited amount of people... People who see past the mundane, or are curious about the darker side of life. Each item she creates has a song, person, or moment in mind. She has an overwhelming list of things to create but there just isn't enough time in one day!

Jenny custom-made the Gorgeous Spider Lace Ribbon Bracelet Wrist Cuff With GID Spiders that you see in the picture, but she has too many more amazing items available in her shop... and she would love to share them with you.

Jenny has generously offered to give ONE of you $15 Bones (dollars) of merchandise of YOUR CHOICE from her shop!

A little case of fashionable jungle fever

At first I thought it looked a bit creepy, conjoined giraffe heads wrapped arount my hand. But it's incredibly unique and spruces up most of my outfits.
