Deployment No. 3 and News!

Hi, it's been a while since I wrote my blog.  I always plan on discussing my journey during deployments because you really see a lot of growth during them.  We are 2 months into our 3rd deployment in 5 years of marriage. 

During our first deployment together in 2009, I was working as a Walmart Cashier and saw a customer wearing a lovely necklace.  I asked her where she got it and what it was.  It was a hand stamped necklace.  I instantly was intrigued.  I began searching for tutorials and etsy.  At the time, it was a new "craft".  The letter stamps sets were way out of my budget at $225 a set for Uppercase and lower case was sold separately. At the time, I filed it away with hopes I could try it one day. Well in 2011 I found a cheap set and again was challenged because I couldn't stamp on the hard metals.  In 2012 I found a Facebook group and learned about stamping on Aluminum!  It was heavenly and I was hooked!  I created my own shop and have bought A LOT of supplies.  I am excited to have something to work on and look forward to while I go through this deployment! 


I am having a "Grand Opening" of  Blue-Eyed Girls Jewelry Etsy Shop on April 15th!  I will be unveiling dozens of new designs and to help celebrate, I am having a $30 Gift Certificate Giveaway when I reach 250 likes on my Blue-Eyed Girls Facebook Page !!!

I am very excited to put together lovely and new pieces for my friends and family and fans! Thanks for your support! Sincerely, Courtney G.
