New Mother's Day charms from Jewel Kade!

Here's a sneak peek of what's to come this Mother's Day from Jewel Kade!!!  All items will be available for purchase March 15--so exciting!

The Timeless, Handcrafted Quality of Jewel Kade's Charms!

You know you're attracted to the inherent beauty of Jewel Kade jewelry, but what makes it so special?  Here are a few tidbits that will make you fall in love with it even more!!

• Each charm created by Janet Kinkade has an Old World craftmanship feel--beauty from handmade quality and timeless designs.
• Every single charm is handcrafted in the JK production studios in Alpine, UT
• The charms are each framed by hand in pewter.
• The flat glass is hand-cut.
• the artistic designs are printed one-by-one on artist's canvas.
• The designs are embellished by hand with dazzling touches like Swarovski crystals and German Glass Glitter.  All drops are added by hand.
• Each charm is individually inspected and polished before it's deemed JK-worth and shipped out.
• Because each piece is handcrafted, no two charms are exactly alike, adding value to your JK collection!

My Jewel Kade Vision!!

"Cross" my "Heart" and Hope to Fly! 

I have learned so much about dreams, vision, and leadership since becoming a Jewel Kade stylist!  Before I had clearly defined goals, I was running my business like a hampster in a cage--forever spinning, yet going nowhere.  Now that I know what I want and have it posted to remind me, I feel unstoppable and am succeeding like I never before imagined!  Let me share with you my vision:

• Always put God and my family first
• Help other women achieve their vision and change lives by sponsoring 2 stylists per month
• Be able to donate more generously to charities and family/friends and make $10,000 per month by Jan 2010
• Be able to travel back to Lisbon, Portugal, where I spent some time on a church service mission
• Be able to buy a new car for our family of 7!
• Grow personally in leadership and charity for others

These may seem lofty to some, idealic to others, but to me, it is my vision.  It's what keeps me motivated in the morning and able to get through whatever bumps in the road I may encounter!

Jewel Kade has opened my eyes to the potential of direct sales--think about what you could do with an extra $1000-5000 per month and create your vision today!  I would love to help you reach your goals.  That is my passion.  There's never been a better time to join Jewel Kade!  :-)

Introducing: Jewel Kade Jack Tags!

If you've been browsing this blog looking at all the gorgeous charms and thinking:  "um, cute, but not in a million years would I wear something that BIG" then have I got news for you!

Even though Jewel Kade is known for it's distinctive charms, they truly have something for everyone.  Sometimes less is more.  And that's where the "magnolia metals" come in:  personalized beauty without the bulk!  You can write up to 7 characters on one line of the "kate" stamps, or 2 lines with 9 letters on the "jack tags."  The Jack Tags will be available when the new catalog debuts March 1, and feel free to get creative!  Names are only one avenue--think school teams, inspirational quotes (i.e. "live strong", "be happy," "love life", etc), special dates, etc. I ordered one that says 5.27.99 on the first line, with the word FOREVER on the second--a meaningful reminder of our anniversary.  (And you know I'll be wearing that every day the week leading up to it for a "gentle" reminder to my husband that it's coming up!)

The Kate and Jack tags also make meaningful gifts for young girls and friends without breaking the bank!  At $26, the price can't be beat--the necklace is included!!

Jewel Kade's Retiring Charms Available til 2/28!

Gorgeous.

Going to the JK Vault Feb 28.

Get em before they're retired and become colletor's items!

Charming Girls from Jewel Kade

The "Charming Girls" Collection is not  just another name for a group of Jewel Kade Stylists!  It is quite possibly the most personal and whimsical collection in the catalog--tell me, which one do you identify with?  Is it the:

Garden Girl (she turned moths into butterflies)

Girl on the Go (shopping, salon, mall, party, movie, lunch, boutique, spa, gym, theatre)

Glamour Girl (hello, gorgeous!)

Rodeo Girl (Kick up your heels!)

Vintage Girl (Aged to Perfection)

I gotta say, each of these look absolutely DIVINE, I say, on a strand of chocolate and champagne pearls.  Did somebody say chocolate?  Janet, may I request a "Chocolate Girl" charm that says "Anytime, anywhere, for any reason" on the back?!  Food for thought....mmmm

Join the Jewel Kade Fan Club!

Dare I admit I was once a high school cheerleader?  Well, now that that kitty is out of the bag, I guess I will tell you in my day we actually had fan "pins."  Hello, people! I don't think anything has been updated to such a classy stature in such a short amount of time except maternity clothes.  INTRODUCING:  The Jewel Kade fan club line!  Be a fan who means business with your child's photo on front and their school colors and number on the back.  Oh yeah, your kid is gonna feel some kind of special when they see you sporting this! (no pun intended!)  Then you can add to it with cute lil charms indicating their sport--from footballs to crystals in their colors, man, you are going to be the talk of the team!!

And you know when team pride rises, well, so do the score boards!!

Jewel Kade Inspirations--Truly Charming!

How is it possible that the Jewel Kade "Word Sticks" designed by Janet Kinkade can speak to so many people with so few words??!  Truly baffling.  Hmm.  Maybe I should speak less, and let the charms do my talking.

"just breath....fresh air"

"go barefoot....be carefree"

"be inspired....fly higher"

"love freely....love life"

If those spoke to you, wait til you see what she's got in store for us in the new catalog!  I'm going to give you just one little teaser:

giggle....to laugh in a silly, often high-pitched way

Now if that didn't make you at least crack a smile, well then, maybe Jewel Kade is just what the doctor ordered!

Be the first Jewel Kade Stylist in Hawaii!!

 Jewel Kade is a phenomenal opportunity wherever you happen to live, but it's especially AWESOME if you're the FIRST in your area!  (which happens to be a lot of places!)  Hawaii is fertile ground, my friends...Be the first to sign and I'll send you one of these charms as a gift--you choose!!

Break ground wherever you may live, and begin reaching your dreams today!!  I am so excited that the new catalog has a new Hawaii "City Stick" charm to celebrate the islands!  Especially since my husband was born and raised there--Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart!!

My 19 month old boy was feeling the Hawaii vibe as I was writing this....he just spilled a pint of Aloha Shoyu all over my kitchen floor!  Oh boy....



The Jewel Kade Catalog has something for everyone!!!

When I think of Jewel Kade, usually hand-crafted charms and luxurious pearls come to mind first.  If those don't make your skirt fly up, just keep turning the pages in the catalog, because trust me, something will!  Actually, when I first laid eyes on JK, I was attracted to the "magnolia metals."  These are individually hand-stamped mini charms that can be paired up with just about anything!  Birthstones, pearls, drops, pewter charms such as pineapples, owls, hearts, keys, just to name a few....I wanted a "mommy" necklace to celebrate my children (and to remind myself that yes, they are a blessing!).  I told my husband what I wanted, which was 5 stamped circles with each of their initials on it, with their birthstones.  To my utter amazement, he replied "Why don't you just sign up yourself?"  I couldn't sleep for days.  But he was right--I hadn't been that excited about something in a really long time, and now I'm on the journey of a lifetime!

Pick your favorite and let me know what speaks to you!  (remember, each comment adds $1 to my weekly giveaway pot!) Why do you love Jewel Kade??

Jewel Kade Jewelry, Chains, and Charms, OH MY!!

I must admit, before my Jewel Kade days, I was a minimalist (at most!) when it came to wearing jewelry.  But there's something different and unique about each of the pieces designed by Janet Kinkade, they instantly won me over and now I feel naked without them!  Picking the jewelry pieces that speak to you is part of the joy--each one is hand-made and truly one of a kind, and many of them contain little quotes and quips that describe you or the ones you love.  Find which one speaks to you and let me know!  I love hearing which ones are people's favorites!!   (by the way, if any of the ones in the above picture catch your fancy, order before Feb 28th as they are being retired and on their way to becoming collectibles!)
