Lots of pages!

I am so in love with Blogger right now!  I've been looking for a way to add information about my services to my blog.  That's why the "pages" option is such a dream come true.  As you can see, you no longer need to visit my website to sign up for the newsletter or to inquire about parties, wholesale, custom, and side projects.  Heck, you can even shop from my blog.  I mean, really, who even needs a website anymore? (-;   

New Logo!

As you can see, we've got a new logo. If you venture over to the website, you'll notice that has changed completely as well. Don't be alarmed. I think such changes are necessary every few years as we progress in our work. Here's a teaser of our new setup. Now go check it out!

married!

so if you don't already know, i'm getting married this august. i'm so excited. i'm trying hard to figure out how to feed my wedding blog from my wedding website to this one. i can't figure it out. i need to get better at, number one, blogging and, number two, cross referencing all of my web presence.

anyway, i'm getting married. you'll hear about it as soon as i conquer the mystery of blog feeds. i will be victorious!

Did you know about the Newsletter?

Did you know that you will get a "can't pass up" offer if you sign up for the newsletter on the main website? Go to www.chrystalynjewelry.com and find out how generous we are. You'll be so glad that you did. In fact, you will probably tell all of your friends...

Happy customers, listen up!

That's right, folks! For the remainder of February, we're doing a little
promo revolving around your apprecation for Chrystalyn Jewelry. All you
have to do is take a snapshot of you and your favorite Chrystalyn piece and
email it our way. You'll not only be posted modestly (unless you love the
limelight, of course) on the Testimonials page of the website, but you'll
also be added into the mix to win the hippest accessory on the block, the
Shape of My Soul Coral Necklace (formerly Valentine Coral).

Details
Drawing will be held on March 1 so be sure you get your snapshots submitted
by the end of February. If you've already submitted your most glamorous
smile, then rest assured because you'll be automatically added to the
drawing. Now grab the camera quick...!

book now button

So there's this new little gadget that I'm all sorts of excited about. It's called the Genbook and it's a site that manages appointments. Click the link to schedule a shopping party, to make a custom design date, or to sign up for a jewelry class. Oh yeah.

Gift certificates, you don't say...

Yes, you heard me correctly. Chrystalyn is now offering gift certificates on the website. I know it's exciting, but try to breathe deep and slow. One, two, three, one, two, three. Head over now and check out the setup: gift certificates!

You can purchase any dollar amount you wish. Just print out the GC and stash in the stocking or a sweet handmade card. The lucky recipient just goes and buys what they like and then imputs the code and *voila* makes a purchase that makes them happy!

PS... New customers get a $5 gift certificate with any purchase over $50. Mention that you've never purchased before (don't lie!) and you'll have a reason to come back and see us!

Creatively,
Chrystal Lynn

why i haven't called you back lately...

the reason i've not called you back lately is b/c i'm working full time again. you wouldn't know it by the fact that i'm blogging during business hours on a weekday, but i really am working. seriously. i'm temping @ an agency in town as a receptionist. sometimes i have tons to do and sometimes i have nothing. doesn't that sound a bit like my life right now??? so from 8-5pm minus lunch breaks, i am predominantly unavailable. however, if you live in the area and you'd like to have a lunch date, i could make that happen. (-;

i'm also exceptionally busy b/c, as stated in my most previous blogs, i am getting things up and running for the holiday season. i'm arranging some marketing materials as well as some new techniques. i am, yes again, revamping my website. if you've not already realized it, i am a lover of the trial and error method and thus much of my life consists of said method. i wouldn't have it any other way. so back to the website. you will now find the shopping link very useful on www.chrystalynjewelry.com. the page itself features a feed that allows the most recently uploaded pieces from my etsy site to be showcased. you click the link and you're ready to go! you'll also notice a few new links as such as custom, testimonial, & bridal. the testimonial link is all about customer appreciation. there will be photos of clients in their pieces as well as quotes. the custom section is an invitation to design w/ chrystalyn jewelry and also makes reference to repair work. and finally, the blog page is an actual page rather than a link to a page. w/out leaving the site, you have access to the most recent jewelry blogs @ your disposal.

alright, enough jewelry plugs for now. i am also excited to say that i'm going to be rockin' it roadtrip style to kansas in a few weeks. the dates, @ this point and b/c of my job, look like i'll be gone the 2nd & 3rd week or so of october. not only have i never been to kc, i've also never been to ihop (international house of prayer). i'm going to be going w/ danny and his dad, gary. woohoo. this should be interesting. apparently, we'll sort of be touring the state. we'll be visiting a few small towns, one of which danny grew up in, as well as kansas city itself.

continue to watch for details about events where chrystalyn jewelry will be appearing. one already confirmed is redding's november holiday shophop. on saturday, november 15 from 10am to 7pm, i'll be out @ monica's vintage inspired on athens showcasing my ingenious ornaments & wine charms. please come out and help us jumpstart the coming holiday season!!!

love and miss,
chrystal
