double for your trouble

I shouldn't be sitting here.  I should be working:)  There are nearly 1,000 orders surrounding me...1,000 in ten days!  How is that even possible!!!!!  How could I even begin to start working without first giving praise!  It feels like we just ran a ten day marathon.  The amount of convoes is astounding.  The number of things to keep straight...seriously unbelievable.  The ability to do this job with every single item being CUSTOM...it's a miracle.  Like literal miracle!!  We can feel His hands helping us.   


I'm always hesitant to talk about the success of my little business.  I never want to make anyone else struggling feel bad or competitive.  Because I know that yearning to start something.  I know that frustrating feeling of being a needle in a huge creative Etsy haystack.   I've been there...wanting so desperately to have my gifts shine.  To be using my talents.  To be selling my work.  I've felt that struggle...for years.  So when I talk about the business I pray you don't see it as bragging or pride.  There's none of that.  This little niche He's given is just that...ALL HIS!  I'm fully aware that FAVOR is given and for some reason it's been given to me and my little FGP family. I'm humbled, wondering why...feel so undeserving.  


Just thank you Lord for showing up every single time!  Thank you for exceeding my little goals.  For showing me time again what YOU are capable of.



From the bottom of our hearts...thank you friends for supporting us AND our giving vision!!!  Thank you for the sweet words of encouragement that come in with your orders.  Thank you for sharing your hearts...your stories.  I feel your love.  I wish I could write back to each and every one of you.  Just know you are a tremendous blessing! It's an honor to serve you.



Now I have some orders to fill...   





Blessings,









more than double the sales from last year!
friends that go above and beyond
spreading His love and light as a J.O.B.
feeling a giant bear hug from my heavenly Daddy
my momma who cries when I tell her 
for all her prayer warriors that lift us up
my precious family who cheerleads and gives up my attention for a few weeks...
for my little team of helpers...could NOT do it without you
TAMARA!!!

Our LAST open of 2014!!!!



**I'm going to share our November newsletter with you.  If you haven't signed up yet go to the "sign up" section at the top of the blog.  If you've read it THANK YOU!  


Hi Friends!!!!  It's our last opening of 2014. :)) We are officially open NOW until Fri., November 14th.  Thank you SO much for making this such a successful year.  We have been blessed to our toes creating meaningful jewelry for you.  I just know you are going to LOVE our holiday inventory.  


Please note we will NOT be opening again until early February.  If you have any special occasions between now and then...birthdays, anniversaries, etc...WORDS OF THE YEAR.  Maybe act now:)


We are going to be working around the clock to get these orders filled and hopefully ALL mailed out by THANKSGIVING to assure Christmas delivery:) If you want to speed up the process or if you're international and concerned about delivery times, a good idea would be to purchase the RUSH listing.  This pulls your order and puts it at the top of the pile.  








We are SO very excited to announce these special new additions to the shop:)  I've always wanted to do ornaments.  This year it finally happened!!!   We are offering the cross, heart and star...made from rusty tin metal and handstamped to say whatever your heart desires. 

What an easy gift idea for your:
  • Pastor
  • Sunday school teacher
  • Teacher
  • Babysitter
  • Mailman
  • Best friend
  • Bus driver
  • New baby
  • Newlyweds
  • Co-workers
  • Family scripture...creed
  • Gift topper
  • Secret Santa...ornament exchange
  • Teammates...Coach





Our last opening was our very first giving vision and we were TOTALLY BLESSED to be a blessing.  It's so much fun to give isn't it!!  This month because of the holidays coming up I really felt led to give to an Angel Tree organization benefiting children with a parent in prison. I have chosen to do this through Prison Fellowship.  A portion of EACH sale will go directly to buying Christmas gifts for those in need.  We are very excited to have a part in this.  Imagine Christmas morning in their homes!! Thank you in advance for partnering with us as we reach out.  If you want to donate directly click here.

Please watch the video...it will leave you wanting to do more! 



One my favorite things we offer is a sentimental cuff option.  You mail us that special person's belt (or just a belt that you love) and we will make it something that you and your loved one's will cherish.  

These can be mailed in to the shop AT ANY TIME...even if the shop is closed:)  The cuffs are $40 and buckle keychains are $25.  Depending on the size of the belt we can usually get 3-4 cuffs.  **If this is needed by a certain date we will do our best.  For holiday delivery we would need your belt in our hands no later than NOVEMBER 19th!!  If you have additional questions please convo us through Etsy.


If interested mail to:
Becky Strahle

Please include a detailed note with email address, mailing address, blank selection, word choice and any special sizing requests.  A TIGHT wrist measurement will be necessary if you need a size other than our standard. 




Becky loves the brown with denim ribbon because it's a perfect casual cuff for any special person in your life.  It would go with everything!  

The white one she already has.  It's her VERY favorite!!!




Tamara loves the turquoise for herself because she's a turquoise GIRL!  And the acorns SCREAM fall! 

The other one is sooo pretty and colorful and great for that creative spirit in your life:)





Adele is loving the brown because it has the pretty delicate little pops of color.  It's a safe bet anyone would love this cuff.  

She's been wanting a white cuff.  The little cutouts remind her of lace:)


Deanna like narrow cuffs.  She's loving the olive green color.

The brown cuff with string flowers would be so sweet for a cherished friend.

Be a blessing.
