Facebook Winners

Life has been hectic, know y'all can relate. Not only does life not slow down but my computer did...to a complete stop! I think it was a little hint that I need to set limits and that working at home does not mean that you work the entire time you are at Home. Well computer is back up and running and so are I and even better Dylan Blue NEVER stopped. Have no fear , while I was away from y'all here, we have been working diligently and with a PURPOSE...the purpose of making people happy and Spreading our Jewelry Piece by Piece as far as we allow ourselves to imagine. That is a nice thought huh?
First updatee... we have made another sale...which we are incredibly proud of because, one, it has been a slow across the board pretty much and two, well it was our first INTERNATIONAL sale. The celtic blue piece is on it's way to the United Kingdom! Thanks to our VALUED Customer!
Also John has been working his tail off, we came up with a line of Local Football Pendants for my local area, Valdosta GA, TITLETOWN USA...ok a little bragging there. But it is Known fact we take football very serious here in South GA and they play to WIN and WIN they do. I will have a post showing you the finished set coming soon.... got more to share. John has also been doing some fine art work...amazing stuff that I am super proud of and will also share coming soon, I promise IT IS gonna BLOW YOU AWAY! And while I am talking about John and production, I have items sitting that are ready to be listed so he is crackin' them out, while along filling wholesale orders for places such as book stores and for retail shops and boutiques....while working his "real job" aka the one we want to get rid of!
And last but not least....WE have a winner to our contest we ran on our Facebook Fan Page. We are so thrilled at the turn out and gained 46 fans in the allotted contest period. I ran the contest through a site called RANDOM.ORG . Where I typed in the numbered ordered list of entries (each entry was the person and the fan they got to join) and ran it through. Below is shot of WINNERS.... who are DUM DUM DUM (that is a drum-roll).... Elizabeth M. Duquette and Mike Watson! Congrats guys, I will be in touch and I can wait to see what you pick... plus I have stuff to list like I mentioned...so we will definitely chat!. Wow that was fun (even if I was running behind). We plan to run other contest in the future..probably with a totally different idea. Have a good idea...leave us a comment.Go ahead and become a fan of our FACEBOOK page we refer to as Dylan Blue Community because we could not do this without y'all NOR would we want to. We are also constantly thinking of ways to use ourselves and things we learn to be of service to others.

Call For Action

I think that there is way too much talk about doing good things and not enough DOING good things. John and I have been discussing ways to make a difference, like I have mentioned before, we are not out to change the world, just make an impact on little parts. SERVICE- that is what it is all about. One word...it is an ACTION....to serve....to DO SOMETHING. I tell my boys on the way to school each day, "Do something nice for someone today, DO a RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS" (I am a KARMA Officer for Valdosta GA, lol, big title for simple concept....do RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS and spread that message...you can read more I wrote about it here) anyway, my boys report back to me what acts of kindness they have done. Today on the way to school my son said "Mom, sometimes it is hard to find something"... I replied "You will see it, the more you look the easier it will be....and it does not have to be something major."
John told me about a Facebook group that embodies this in every way. Team Max well , I will let you read what the first paragraph on the page says- it states it best ~

"Max Rose's friends and family are continuing his work of service by forming "Team Max." Team Max has no rules, no bureaucracy to fund, just one idea....to give...to serve...to continue and build Max's legacy of service." They go on to say "Team Max is an intention. We will carry on Max's intense desire to serve the community. Team Max is a "strike-force" showing up to serve when opportunity presents itself."
A "Strike-Force"... there again...ACTION! This group was formed after the Max was taken from his Earthly Family and Friends and joined his Heavenly Family and Friends. The group not only formed, they ARE DOING IT. They Are Making A Difference. I ask you to please, if you are on Facebook, please become a member of TEAM MAX... read the board for a HEARTWARMING story on the Marshall's, read Beautiful poems written by Max, see his Smiling Face.... you will feel it...you will get IT. You can find all that on the TEAM MAX Page. Oh and if you are not on Facebook, why? This is worth joining for!
MAX DID!!!

What's Your Sign?

What's your sign? No I am not quoting the cheesey pick-up line...Why you ask? Well here at Dylan Blue we are working on and will shortly be introducing a line of Zodiac Sign pendants. We are also working on having customizable set of pendants/necklace, such as initials.

We really like the idea of people having jewelry that is special, that has meaning to them. We also have a discussion started on our Facebook page asking for design ideas. Go here to start submitting design idea, you not only may see your design come to be a beautiful pendant but may also get to name the pendant...how cool is that? Go here to submit your ideas- I know you have something. If it is an idea that we like, and you have an example image we can send you a regular e-mail to send the image to. In the same respect, if you have a design, and would like to order a set for a special occasion, like as gifts to give to bridal party, for members of a club or organization, or any other reason you could think of, we can handle big custom orders and are more than happy to do so. Just send us a convo on etsy or a message on our Facebook page or even a comment here and we will get back to you.

Hope everyone have a terrific weekend and are planning on MAKING IT A GREAT WEEK!

SMILE!

Our BIG Week

Bob Marley nailed that one, don't you think?
Wow what a week we have had. WE are excited to share what all we have accomplished in this first week. Well you know the obvious, we debuted Dylan Blue on etsy with our first 12 designs and set up this blog. Now for what else we have done or ARE doing...
We are still in the process of getting everything set up and constantly working on new designs and products. That will pretty much be a constant- us continually working to make this business bigger & better and make more & more wonderful friends along the way.
About the middle of the week we set up a PAGE for Dylan Blue on Facebook and we are totally blown away and humbled by our turnout of FANS- which I like to refer to as "friends". Within the first 24 hours we had around 220 Fans and at last check, after JUST 2 days... we have just shy of 300 Fans!!! Tonight we claimed our URL for this page ... I will share the post I just made on our page ~ "I am proud to announce that WE have claimed our URL for this page & are proud to tell you that we want YOU to be a part of this page so our NEW URL is...drum-roll please... http://facebook.com/DylanBlueCommunity~see our little picture comes up because that is US! WE choose Dylan Blue COMMUNITY because without YOU -we are not who we are. WE ♥ Your input & even more WE love turning our customers INTO friends." As a fan/friend you will not only be able to see what we are up to but in the future we are planning on offering special deals for just those members and sneak previews on designs- so if you love it the sneak previewed design, send us a message and you can grab it before it is even listed! On this page we also have a discussion going on here to let people suggest ideas that they have for designs and we are listening. We have already gotten some that we love and WE are planning on having a way to honor those who's ideas some to BE...we are thinking we will let them pick out the creative name for the piece... head on over there and give your suggestions or just read others. We will also be having more discussions and tons of interaction on this page- a reason we decided on Community as part of your URL, that is what we want, a place to people to meet up, share and participate. You can go here to join as a FAN (friend) of our page here. WE will add our Facebook badge later this evening to our sidebar for we are want to show of the support we are receiving.
Another thing that is coming up soon and are looking forward to is that weekly we are going to feature something that John has written. I know he would never come on here and post this but he IS one Heck of a writer and y'all are in for a real treat. I am excited personally because I thoroughly enjoy reading his work and know you will too.
Oh I almost forgot some GREAT news we have to share ~ WE MADE our first sale. WE actually had a big response to the one that sold -the Tree of Life~ Infinite Possibilities piece and MORE are on the way! We want to give a big "Thank You" to the person who purchased it and we know that it will bring nothing but GOOD things your way!
Alright everyone~ that has been our BIG WEEK and it would not have been without each and every one of you! Thank you!
