I have been chastised...

Hey ya'll, it's me - Jaime Mac!  Remember me?  Huh?  Do ya?  Bueller.... Bueller?   

I'm still around & kicking....just kicking a bit slower lately.  Last week I was still getting over my cough from my sickness & then B-rad got super sick.  He doesn't get sick often, but when he does, it's ba-ad.  

I had a jewelry show with a lot of familiar faces Saturday night.  Jami was kind enough to let me come & get her some free bling!   I had hecklers & everything & I loved every.single.second.of.it!  Keeps me on my toes!!!!  (I do NOT like doing shows where everyone is just blankly staring at me with drool coming outta their mouths!  Boring!)  

Premier is really big on recognizing jewelers' hard work & in the past, they gave us pins for our accomplishments.  But they've updated them & decided to give us a charm bracelet with charms for all our accomplishments to date...for free.  How awesome is that?!  We got our bracelets at Rally & I didn't blog about my bracelet because a) I was feeling sick & just wanted to get through the rally post & b) I was feeling sick & for some reason didn't wanna brag.  Oh.the.humanity!

But I'm over my sickness now & I decided to show it off share with my friends Saturday night.  I was quickly chastised by blog stalkers that I had not blogged about this bracelet.  Like I said - hecklers!  But they were absolutely correct - this deserves blog attention.

So-here's my charm bracelet with everything I've done so far with Premier.  Strangely for me who pays no attention to details, I put them in chronological order...

Starting from left to right.  The first charm is the 'We Will Remember' charm for our co-founder, Joan, who passed away.  Next I got my Quick start 6 (worth $200 in free jewelry), if we did 3 more shows in the same time frame as the 6, that's the Quick Start 9 (I got another $100 in free jewelry for that!), next was the 25 home show club (no bling for that, shows just start accumulating to get that free stuff!).  Then the amethyst level of the crown jewel ($200 free), then the Queens Court last May (I got a free ensemble & a special charm bracelet).  The last 3 are the ones that made up my most recent free jewelry.  100 home show club, Builder & Sapphire level of crown jewel.

Ain't it purdy? 

 I've also changed up a few things at my shows.  I like to keep it fun & fresh.  Look at what I came up with?  I found these tags online.  I had some zebra ribbon so I got the bright idea of offering 'featured items' for booking a show.  I put the featured pieces on these stands & explain they get to pick one for free if they book a show.  Look at me...

 Saturday afternoon I high tailed it into Target to pick up this little gem right here.  Swoon.  I haven't watched it yet which I know is total insanity...  Butterfly got me a gift card to Target for Christmas & I used that to buy it.  Merry Christmas to me!

Also at the show Saturday night - I got a gift given to me!  I'm not used to that!  I was telling Tracey about my purchase & she said, "OH, I have something for you & Jami!"  Score!  Thanks again, Tracey! 

 And in other boring news, I am WWF (that's words with friends, NOT World wrestling federation) fan & today for Valentine's day (I'm assuming?) they've updated their notification.  Imagine the giggles when I saw this pop up on my phone?!  Tee hee...

 Lastly, I decided to do my nails Sunday.  I get bored...  (Please, don't be blinded by my wedding ring bling...focus on the nails.)  Are you amazed?  Can you believe I did this all by myself?  (Here's a secret - they're press on.  Yea, baby!  A pack of nails costs like $4 & you can get a huge thing of glue for them.  Call me ghetto, but I think they look great.  They last about a week & then you can take them off.  No nail salon, no $15 fill in fee, no Asian nail tech grinding your nails & cuticles down to the quick & no real commitment, just a week!)  However, I only had enough 'alike' nails from previous packs to piece together 9 fingers.  Whoops.  Eh, my lack of attention to detail thingie kicked in so I just got one nail from a different pack.  Can you spot which one of these isn't like the others?
