Bling for B

My latest obsessions: Sea glass and mermaids!

Excited to be designing and creating again! A big thank you to my friend, Bridget, for letting me design something very special for her! Pictures to follow once I'm done, but in the mean time, can you say, "m-e-r-m-a-i-d"? This beauty should keep her 'dreaming about the sea'! ;)

DO YOU KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS???
Bling for B is more than an on-line boutique. Bringing awareness to Type 1 Diabetes is also a passion and life-mission of mine. Do you know the warning signs of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)? My husband and I didn't and it nearly cost us the life of our 4 year old son. Please read these warning signs and learn them. You could save the life of someone you love. Caringly, Christine

Undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes leads to death. It might not be the flu.

Brandt, I love you with all my heart, passed the moon and back, times infinity squared, rectangle, circle, pyramid, cylinder, obtuse angle, acute angle.....forever. XOXOXO
