My creations are taking on a new look!  I've been adding a new line of decoupage jewelry to my line.  The pieces are coming out really cute, if I say so myself, but I leave that to you to judge.  Some of them will have rhinestone accents.  All can be done with an initial.  Just let me know if you have a preference.  These are fun and funky--something out of the ordinary.

I invite you to check out the beautiful jewelry my friend Tabatha Payne has been creating: www.InspiredbyKarma.etsy.com.  Awesome baubles!  Been drooling over them for quite a while.

Welcome to Gayl's Goodies!

Welcome to Gayl's Goodies!

I'm just starting my blogspot today.  Keep an eye on this site 'cause ya never know what Goodies I have to share with you.  So many ideas, designs, and so much joy and you won't want to miss a thing.

John K is a truly inspired young man whose story both shocks and amazes us.  At four years old, he witnessed the brutal murders of his entire family and the horrific genocide that claimed his home city of Kigali, Rwanda.  He survived with a bullet in his leg and was left orphaned and homeless.

At 22 yrs of age, he is finally getting his long-denied education and is a rising star in jewelry design.  His work is inspired by his strong walk of faith with his Savior, Jesus Christ. He creates some of the most colorful jewelry I have ever seen, using wood, shells, seed, beads and paper beads which he makes himself.  I'm listing four of these tonight in his shop, www.fromUgandawithLove.etsy.com  The second from the left, I'm buying for myself.  BTW, these are woven with stretch cord.  Learn more about him there.

In future posts I'll tell you about my addiction to Vera Bradley and JHFabrications handbags.  Ugh.  I'm such a girl!  Shoes and purses...  So many items, so little space.  If you are a Vera Bradley lover, I encourage you to keep an eye on my eBay store, http://stores.ebay.com/Longedfor where I am listing a tremendous number of retired and hard to find Vera Bradleys--most at ridiculously low starting bids.  Trying to downsize.

Oh, and I have an active coupon code in my etsy shop www.GaylsGoodies.etsy.com .  Use MAD4MUM at check out and you'll save 20% off any purchase. Lots of Goodies to check out.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you an awesomely Blessed day!
