Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've been busy producing these new custom birthday cupcakes! Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure (also can be viewed in my gallery)

My beautiful new sterling silver and black silk chain options. =)

Also...I held a contest on Deviant Art: Contest...Impress Me! I was just delighted by all the entries that I received!! I decided to make 6 winners instead of two.

Here you can view the Round One Winners and here is an image of what they won...(Raspberry Parfait, Yummy Dessert, Jello w/ Whipped Cream)

I'll be announcing the Round Two winners shortly. But in the meantime...I've decided to hold another contest!!! =) Contest...CHIBI ME!! Go check out the cute entries so far.

Also, I will be sending out my first newsletter to all my Tiny Cravings fans...if you aren't sure if you are on the list and would like to be, just send me an email to jeanine@tinycravings.com

April Updates

Fri, 06 Apr 2007 07:00:44 GMT
Well my new birthday cupcakes are going over quite well! And apparently...lots of people have birthdays this month!! I've been quite busy, and everyone wants their items yesterday of course ^_^ Also...all of my Limited Edition Cupcake Necklaces are either sold or reserved, so unless those two "reserved for 1 week" spots open up...that's it for those!!

I'm really happy with everyone's enthusiasm with the Limited Edition necklaces and can't wait to start production on them. =) Also, if you are still interested in getting one of the necklaces...let me know...and I'll put your name on a list for next in line in case a spot does open up.

Anyways, considering the work load, the number of new items I'm planning on adding, and the production of the Limited Edition necklaces, I've decided to change the default availability for all items from "ships in 5-7 business days" to "contact us for availability". Most likely, it will be more like 8-10 business days before items ship. I've also added a note in the About section about Rush Fees if you need your item sooner...just send me an email and I'll see what I can do. ^_^

Cheers

New Items On My Site & Gummy Bears!!

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 22:32:35 GMT
Alrighty...well I put my new birthday cupcakes, and the others up on my website, so if you were wanting one...have at it! :) Cupcakes!

And I created some gummy bear charms. I made two different versions cause I wasn't really sure which I liked best or which would work better. I still dunno which I like most. I suppose the ones on top look more realistic? Anyways, I'll be using these for different colored charm necklaces, bracelets, and earrings...coming soon! ^_^

Chat Box

Sun, 01 Apr 2007 04:45:16 GMT
I added a little chat box over there on the left *points* so that anyone can leave messages, thoughts, comments, etc. on my blog. ^_^

Just been working on a few more new items...hope to have pictures soon...and hopefully I'll be able to add the new items with their special features as well onto my store soon.

Cheers!

New Item Samples!!!

Fri, 30 Mar 2007 23:16:18 GMT
*rubby hands* ...I just LOVE being able to share my new creations with you guys. Especially before they are even put up onto my website. ^_^

I'm adding some different themed sections...and themed items to my site. I'm really excited for one section in particular that I think will be awesome because...well...you'll see! Anyways, I spent last night working on a few prototypes of different cupcake designs.

Here are some... (and no, these are not real food!! hehe)

I'm going to add a whole section for fully customizable birthday cupcakes and cakes. I'm even going to add an awesome feature for gift wrapping, and an option to purchase and personalize a card! This will probably be the same for all my special occassion themed cupcakes that are coming soon. =)

This is a prototype for an item that may be in my Dark Cravings (gothic inspired jewelry) section. It's an awesome Thorned Cupcake Charm with black roses and sprinkled with shimmer powder to give it a crispy frozen sort of look. I just love it! I can already tell that I'll probably do a few different variations of it before I'll be ready to put it up on my site for sale. ^_^ I actually got the idea for this cupcake from a kick ass image of a thorned wedding cake that I found online and knew that I just HAD to do my own version of it!

Also, I'm realizing that I am getting alot of visitors from my Tiny Cravings Jewelry website, but I doubt many of you have accounts with xanga, so you couldn't comment even if you wanted to. Sooo I need to figure out what to do about that. >_< I might just add a chat/shout box or something so that anyone can leave comments.

Cheers!!

Yey...I'm so excited to be featured on this site. It's a fantastic site, full of tons of amazing little rare finds you should definitely check it out! She chose to feature my Maple Bar earrings, which I'll admit is a little surprising...but then again I suppose cupcakes aren't the most rare thing in the world, eh? Hehe. This is already opening some new and exciting doors for me...so I just want to say thanks so much to Sharla for featuring me on her awesome site!! ^_^

Exciting Developments

Sat, 24 Mar 2007 19:59:58 GMT
Well I got a little mention in someone's Deviant Art journal here: http://twosilverstars.deviantart.com/journal/12296189

Also...a friend who's an executive producer at a tv station here is keen on putting my jewelry on tv! That would be pretty awesome. Hopefully I'll have updates on that soon.

I've been working on my Dark Cravings...hmm...but I think I've hit a bit of a creative block at the moment. So I'm going to take my time with it...and it might take longer to introduce my new items than I would like, but oh wells! Lots to do! Orders to make! I may be having a cupcake sale soon as well. So stay tuned...

Latest Items...

This was specially commissioned. She wanted one of my "designer" style of cupcakes, but in hot pink colors to match her hair!! hehe. So I made her a Red Velvet-ish designer cupcake in hot pink rather than red velvet. And she wanted the cherry. Didn't turn out exactly as I wanted...but I do still like it. When I do a real Red Velvet cupcake though, it will probably look quite different. She's also reserved one of my Limited Edition Cupcake Necklaces!

Ever since I read Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince I wanted a bottle of Felix Felicis to wear around my neck!! But I actually made this specially for a friend who really loves Harry Potter. I've added this Felix Felicis necklace to the Sugar Free collection on my store and I've already sold 3 of them!

Filled with sparkley gold...just like the gold potion vial from the Harry Potter book! ^_^ ...the perfect good luck charm! I'm thinking about making a bunch of these to sell to people waiting in line to get their copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.
