Pull It Together Tuesday!

On this pull it together Tuesday,  I'm sorry to inform all of my Gods & Goddesses that I am taking a much needed hiatus from blogging.   From time to time, if there is something I absolutely have share with you all, I will.  I was so looking forward my son starting school, with the potty training, and pacifier fairy, it was hard but my son passed all of that with flying colors, only to be put in a class with teachers that are not a good fit for him, and because of this I've decided to keep him home with me for a year, and that involves me teaching him myself. I also need to push forward on my business plan, and I just have to much on my plate right now, so something has to be pushed aside, and blogging is going to be it... temporarily. 

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this:  If you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else!

Thankful Thursday!

On this Thankful Thursday, I'm reminded that no one on this earth can make me happy.  I have to make myself happy.  No one can nurture my family like I can.  No one knows what my son is feeling like I can (At least for now :-), know one can push my business like I can (that is no one will do it for free like I can :-)  So This Thankful Thursday, I'm Thankful for the beautiful Goddesses that reminded me of the beauty of my my work.  I'm Thankful for, The Isis Collections.  Designed to bring out the Goddess in you.

Pull It Together Tuesday! (I Need an Assistant!!!)

As a Mompreneur work never gets done!  There is always something to do!  Fun time with my Son, windexing, pledging, sweeping, mopping, laundry, vacuuming, fun time with Husband, shopping, paying bills, creating, sales, marketing, vending, etc.

Right now as I look around my apartment at the pile of business plan papers, catalog papers, ideas of new projects, laundry, dishes, mirrors with finger prints, dusty figurines, toys spiradically placed, and juice spots on the floor and carpet I can only shake my head, and feel the pounding in my head that is screaming I NEED AN ASSISTANT!!!!

She would be perfectly fine being  paid with Jewelry and food, she would love kids, and love beading new creations.  She would know how to put together a successful business plan.  She would love to go on walks with me during down time and throw ideas off of one another.  She would be a fashionista, in the loop of different events and parties going around Chicago, New York and other fabulous places, and know the next spot to go to Spread the word of The Isis Collections.  She would be a social networking queen!  She wouldn't mind baby sitting at least once a month so hubby and I can get our groove back.  She would not only be a value to TIC, but she would be my good friend...


*sigh* In a perfect world that would be great!  However  its back to reality!

What do you need to pull together?

Pull It Together Tuesday!

I'll be honest, I over analyze things sometimes, and this drives my Husband crazy!  I can over analyze things so much, that I can deter myself from my own dreams, and I kind of did that.  I have been letting loose ends and indecisiveness along with fatigue stop me from acting on my dreams of owning a store front, but now I'm back on it.

I've pulled it together this Tuesday!

I've made my phone calls, sent emails, and put some footwork into The Isis Collections, and I'm expecting some big positive things (Just to put it out there).

Only thing left to do, is grow, and make money!  Would you like to earn FREE or discounted Jewelry?  Book an online jewelry part today!  Click here for details.

Pull if Together Tuesday (Victorious!)

Continuing with change today on this Pull it Together Tuesday, when I quit my job in order to positively strengthen my marriage, nurture my son, and build my business. I knew that it was a huge step that involved major change in my life, but I had no ideal about the level of change. It is indeed a process that is very challenging to enjoy, but I can honestly say that I am enjoying the struggle, cause I know that the outcome for my family will be nothing but success, because my Father God is guiding me! These obstacles will be Pulled Together and we will be Victors!

This week, I'll be continuing to love my husband, and other family, potty training, registering my big boy FOR PRESCHOOL!!!!! Being active on Etsy, updating the measurement descriptions on the website, putting together this seasons newsletter (if u would like go sign up for our newsletters, click here.), working on my business plan, preparing for this coming weekends Custers Last Stand Arts Festival in Evanston, and getting my purses together for the RWOC Volunteer project at.

Whew! I can't wait til my vacation next week!

What do u need to Pull Together?

FINE JEWELRY FRIDAY!!!!!

Are you the kind of person that plays it safe?  Well, I think I am in some ways.  Sure, every once in a while I take a chance and leap out on faith, like when I snuck out of the house to be with boyfriends, or when I went away to  college, and when I married my husband, and even when I quit my job of 4 years, and became a WAHM, but lately I've been thinking I should do it again.  I'm tired of playing it safe. 

I feel that if you want big things to happen, you have to make big moves!  I absolutely feel that big moves should be researched, and be done with smarts. Soooo this is why I've decided to finally stop talking about it, and put some action to it. 

I'm going to finally start the 1st store to my chain of Isis Collections Stores!  However it has to start with a real functional Business Plan!  I have the template,  (The business plan I put together Junior year of college.  Yes, I have a BFA in Fashion Design/Fine Arts) now I just need to update it, and add my current logistics, and do some real footwork!

So any POSITIVE advice or comments, locations, etc. you have will be greatly appreciated! 

Fine Jewelry Friday: BOOK A PARTY TODAY!!!!

Are you Interested in having a party where you get Free Jewelry, Free Gift Certificates, and Discounts WITHOUT HAVING TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE? WELL BOOK AN ONLINE PARTY TODAY!

Here are the details:

Host an Online Jewelry Party...
The hardest part about hosting gatherings and parties is coming up with a date and time that works for your guest. Your guests have to go through the hassle of taking off work or leaving work early, finding a sitter, traveling into town, and then feel pressured into buying something just because they are there. It’s just a lot of work for our busy lifestyles! Well this is where hosting a stress free online jewelry party is fun! Saving you time, cleanup work, appetizers and the space for setting up!

At The Isis Collections, we make it fun and rewarding to host a Jewelry party. Hosting an online Jewelry Party is very similar to a traditional in-home party. Really, the only difference is that it is conducted from our website, and can be maneuvered with a little help from Facebook instead of in person in your home.

Here’s how it Works...
Your online jewelry parties last for up to 14 days and you get to invite as many people as you would like with a minimum of 10 invites. Your first step is to contact us at shawnte@theisiscollections.com , and pick a date you would like to start your party to see if it is available. Once a date is chosen you will gather the emails of all your invites and send us the list. We will then send out an invite to all the people you have included on your invite list and we will notify them with the date and time frame of the party along with a promotion code. We can also set up a facebook invite for you so that you can invite your friends & family with your online party information on the invite. Guest will receive 10% off their total before shipping and handling charges.

Why Do it...
The purpose of hosting an online jewelry party with us is to introduce your friends to new trendy items at low cost. For the duration of the party, you and your guest can come and go on your website as they please, at their own convenience. This is the key to success of an online party: There are no demands on the guests' time, no heavy sales pressure, no getting stuck in traffic on the way. They join the party whenever it is convenient for them, shopping from their own computer and at their leisure, and the more your guest shop, the more discounts and free Jewelry you as the Hostess receive!

YES!!! You do get something out of this deal! You as the Hostess receive Hostess incentives of discounts and free Jewelry, just like in a home party! Each host will be rewarded with a $10 Gift Certificate/Credit after your first $200 Guest purchase! Plus, for every additional $100 purchased at your party you get 10% off of your purchase! At the end of the party the hostess will be informed of how much their invites have purchased and will then be given their total incentives of discounts or free Jewelry!

Also...
CUSTOM ORDERS ARE WELCOME!!!! EMAIL US WITH YOUR ORDER; IT DOES GO TOWARDS THE HOSTESSES INCENTIVES!

Ask us about our different levels of hostess incentives!

Silver, Gold & Platinum incentives!

Pull It Together Tuesday! (My Etsy Store)

I'm slowly learning that I am not Super Woman, and I cannot do everything all in one nap time my son is taking or one morning.  So, everyday this week I'll be convoing Etsy members, joining Etsy teams, listing new items, updating old items, adding measurements, etc. 

I'm tired of neglecting my Etsy store, and I'm turning over a new leaf!  I feel like Etsy is a great way to put The Isis Collections out into the world, and I'm going to give it my all!  So if you're looking for something vintage, or handmade, or supplies, Etsy is the place for you!

Come by and add me to your circle, make a purchase, and don't forget to give me feedback!

Faith & Doubts

This post is my Thankful Thursday, and Fine Jewelry Friday rolled all into one. I'm so thankful to have been given the opportunity to attend an Oprah show taping yesterday (I'll post my experience, this weekend), and also on this Fine Jewelry Friday, thanks to Tamika Martell over at A-line Style Services, I'm so thankful to have been given the opportunity to have my jewelry pieces photographed at a Frock Shop Photo shoot!

So right now I'm running on a quarter full and this Chicago weather is not helping. I'm praying that I make it through this day cause I'll be running literally from 6am til about 11pm with a small break in the evening.

With all thats going on in my mind, and my sometime negative thoughts battling my postive ones, the saying, all that glitters isn't gold pops into my mind. Pondering all that, I've come to the hypothesis that this saying, I think, was created by a negative person, cause I feel like my life is glittering right now, and I can't wait to see, and embrace the diamonds!

Have a great weekend Gods & Goddesses!

Wordless Wednesday

Music Monday (Bruno Mars)

I had a wonderful weekend of meeting potentiall friends and clients and am looking forward to do custom pieces for the lovely brides I met yesterday.  So all this weekend, I've been hearing the vintage voice of this artist, and I just LOVE IT.  Here's to Bruno Mars, ENJOY, and have a wonderful week, everyone! 

Oh, also, if you don't happen to hear from me this week for Pull it Together Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, or Fine Jewelry Friday it's because this week is POTTY TRAINING BOOTCAMP for my son.  So I'll be concentrating on any accidents :-). 

Fine Jewelry Friday!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but it's confession/venting time!  My head is screaming and spinning right now.  I'm so happy to be about 80% done with the new Jewelry, scarves and headbands, but I wish I was 100% done especially since I have 2 shows coming up this weekend!  The Vintage Clothing & Accessories show in Grayslake, IL and the  Bridal Expo, but I still have to put all of these items on the website, so if you want to order something new, you will have to email or call, and I'll email you an invoice for payment. 

I'm so upset that I've neglected my ETSY store.  I really need to be on top of this!  Does anyone else out there have this problem of letting life and facebook stop you from tending to your ETSY store?  I'm also upset that I ordered labels about 3 weeks ago, and they have yet to come, so some items this weekend will be sold without labels, and that kind of making me angry, as well as my last order of beads haven't come yet, so tonight I'll probably be up all night, and to top it off I'M SO SLEEPY, and this foggy weather isn't helping at all!

I'm so incredible thankful for my gift, and these opportunities, but I think it's just time for a nap.  Then I'll wake up and feel the imaginary sunshine on the FINE JEWELRY FRIDAY!  Have a great weekend Gods & Goddesses, I KNOW I WILL! Only to start Potty Training bootcamp with my son on Monday.  Talk to you later!
