Been Busy but Blessed

Well, I have had a few people ask if I've posted anything new on my blog, or why I haven't posted anything new in a while. I've had to respond that thankfully, I've been keeping busy filling Christmas orders since my last post. Christmas season is usually the busiest shopping season, and I'm so blessed that it has also been busy for Cara's Creations as well. Many people see one of my creations and say, ooh I love that style, but I need it in purple... I prefer not creating an exact replica of a previous item if I can avoid it, so when I get a request for a certain design I've made but in a different color, I will usually change the pattern up just a bit along with the color, so that the new piece will be a little more unique.

For instance, one of my customer's - (I won't say her name just in case the person receiving an item as a gift looks at my website, but I'll call her Ms. S.) - saw me wearing and liked this red and gold bracelet design, but needed something in purple. (The red and gold bracelet is still available btw)

I kept the same basic double pearl layer design but changed up some of the other beads, the metal spacers, and chain to give it a slightly different look with these deep dark, deliciously purple glass pearls.

And I like to give my customer's a 'pre-view' of what I am making for them, just in case it wasn't what they had in mind etc., and make sure they like it. I'll bring in the partially completed piece so they can see how it will turn out, but the finishing touches haven't been made so I can change it up if need be. So I brought in the partially completed bracelet to make sure Ms. S. would like it, got the thumbs up, and made the necklace with the same design. I also put in the addition of a third layer in the front piece of the necklace for more attention grabbing impact. She loved the finished look! I think it turned out fabulous! This purply passionate bracelet and necklace inspired her and I so much (my favorite color just happens to be purple), we both said we might have to get one ourselves lol! In fact, she ordered more bracelets in purple, hunter green, red, and orange - thanks Ms. S. for your orders! Hope you will like it too. 

If you would like to order one, I can make it in many colors - see colors below), just email me at caras.creations@yahoo.com and let me know which color you need. When planning your order for this bracelet or necklace using one of the colors of the glass pearls below, you might want to make sure to allow additional 3-4 days on this item time for shipping of the pearlswhen considering the time frame the Cara's Creation piece is needed.
