2012 & Giveaway!

2012 has easily been one of the best years of my life so far and I have a feeling it'll only get better! This year we went on so many great adventures..

Here's a few from out geographical adventures..




We've been on many journeys besides the geographical ones as well, namely, SoulMakes and it's been quite a success!




We've done lots of fun photo shoots, traveled for artisan fairs, launched our new website, had the amazing privilege to hand pick a plethora of beautiful rocks and crystals from a giant warehouse across the country(exciting!!), we've continued to make tons of new designs and we are more inspired than ever! 


Not to mention Trev and I have learned SO much from working together! We're such different people with different talents and we've been able to use that as our strength in building this business and we've carried a lot of these lessons into our personal life as well. We are quite a couple, if I do say so myself. I'm the luckiest girl in the world! We celebrated 3 years of togetherness this year :) Of course, there's not a single picture of us together in existence.. Here he is on one of our first dates, so handsome!


This year I've had the opportunity to nurture lots of growing relationships, especially with family..

(that would be the coolest big brother in the world)

 I've been able to get to know myself a lot better too! The wonderful journey Trev and I have been on with SoulMakes has given me new kind of confidence. To watch my dreams unfold before me has been the most amazing gift, I certainly can't take all the credit, but I've put in a whole lot of hard work. There's nothing for gratifying than hearing from our lovely customers and fans that they are in love with our digs! I've also made a habit out of eating healthy and working out a lot over the last year(although I've been slacking..only slightly). The combination of taking care of myself properly and sharing my artistic talents with the world has really allowed me to feel like a strong and respectable young lady. I think I've really grown into myself, if that makes any sense...A year ago you couldn't even get me to smile for a photo...


A truly amazing year comes to a close and I am so looking forward to see what the future has to bring us.  Here's a quick list of resolutions, in no particular order...

1. Continue to nurture my creative self and make lots of new jewelry!!
2. Rededicate myself to healthy living 
3. Show gratitude for this wonderful life with my actions

I will start # 3 right now with a giveaway for you!

  1. My most important New Years resolution would be to truly live up to my favorite quote, "be the change you wish to see in the world". I'm not quite sure how I will do this, but I'm dedicating 2013 to making a positive difference somehow, somewhere! Hopefully it's pretty epic!!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

  4. First off i want to say thank you for being awesome and creating such magic! my friend LOVED her gift i got from you guys. so kudos!

    I have always been there for my friends and people in need so aside from that, I guess my new years resolution is to keep doing and that to be there for everyone. my usual resolutions are about helping me but i wanna give back. i always enjoy helping out cause every time i do it gives me a good feeling inside and a smile in return. sometimes a hug too. 2012 was some year for me. (and i hope it was for you too btw) but i, and most people around here, think 2013 will be one for the books. i hope it will for me. and yes, for you guys too! keep it up! don't stop believing!

    so heres to 2013! happy new year!

  10. My resolution is to continue practicing letting my fears go on a regular basis. It is important to get out of my own way and allow myself to love openly and fully. When I love myself, I love all, we are one!

  17. I vowed to myself to join the WOOFer program and work on organic farms this summer all around the United States... I also promised that I would try to journal more in my sketchbooks and get back to the lost art of letter writing- which includes having pen pals and getting to know people all around the world.
