Cray CRAY!

Pictured: Necklace (it's just one but has a lot of chains) designed by me, new short(er) hair, and my room! Yes, my room in Manila is a bad ass rock climbing mini gym. -- No, that wasn't a joke
 Sorry for not posting. My life has been, as the title says, CRAAAZY! And not in a good way either. Because of all the craziness that's happened, I'll be here in Manila for the next few indefinite months (so yes, I shall be a blogger living in the Philippines for a bit), and since I won't be in the US, I unfortunately won't be able to blog for Claire's this coming August. Which of course SUCKS, but hopefully when I get back, I'll be able to do that. 

On a high note, I now have a lot of free time to work on the jewelry line (and then some), make up the lost time I have with my family and friends, and basically rediscover my roots!

This coming week, I'll be having a shoot with some of my jewelry, so I'm crossing my fingers that I can start showing you guys some more stuff, and start having items for sale!


And I'll end with a picture of my dog and my boyfriend's dog :) I miss my puppy so much!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

    sucks you wont be able to do the claire thing! so im betting youre still there till august!

    I have to admit I'm stuck with my jewelry, because there are few problems which takes time and I'm so impatient, I have waited already so long. Yeah, but still have to wait.
    Oh, your room in Manila sounds exciting!
