Let me Reintroduce Myself.....

So it’s no secret that I’ve been quiet for quite some time.  I haven’t forgotten about my etsy shop but life just happened since my last post.  I’m back and will try my best to keep up with updates here though my schedule is often hectic and unpredictable.  

So a little bit about me now.  Those who have known me for a very long time have witnessed a complete transformation in my life.  I’m no longer living in Los Angeles, though I miss it.  I have relocated to Dallas Texas for my work.  For 12 years I had worked full time in entertainment in Los Angeles, but decided to try my hand at something completely new and am now working in travel.  I travel quite frequently and I plan on sharing some of my adventures here. I’ve really taken the plunge into photography lately.  Nothing fancy.  Just iPhone stuff but I enjoy it.  As you can already see, I’ve posted above a few photos I’ve taken along the way during my travels. Anyway these last couple of years haven’t been without many growing pains.  I’m currently in the process of relearning who I am.  One of the biggest and hardest challenges has been recognizing vulnerability in my life. I realize when you don’t know who you are, you can and will fall for just about anything.  It hasn’t been easy and I’m thankful that I realized my need for change when I did.

God certainly has had his hand on my journey thus far.  I see it everyday and I am truly grateful that I’m able to experience the things I have and continue to walk in faith.  Life is far from perfect but I know with each passing day I’m becoming stronger and the puzzle pieces of life will come together when the time is right. There is no point in rushing things prematurely. Until then I intend to enjoy the journey.

Needless to say because I have had a lot of new things on my plate I haven’t had a real chance to be creative on my bead board.  For months I sat trying to come up with new designs.  Several weeks ago I got really excited because I had a breakthrough and now this is the first step in shifting thing around here.  I hope to have my new pieces up in my etsy shop soon so stay tuned.  Still a lot of good ones in the store for sale. Don’t forget to check out my shop at www.LuvAlisa.com.

Thank you for allowing me to share what I’ve been up to.  Hope you have a chance to drop by my shop soon.

Fly Hummingbird! Fly!

Hummingbird Rose Quartz Handmade Necklace

So I've spent the last several days learning both Blogger and WeHeartIt.com  I must say I've been enjoying both.  Posted this piece on We Heart It a few minutes ago and I've been watching the heart number grow. I must say it's quite humbling when something I create can be liked by total strangers. 

I dreamed up this piece a few weeks ago after receiving a shipment of beads with these adorable hummingbirds. I've noticed that there are many people who have a fondness for birds. I admit, I love them too.  I just felt that a hummingbird would be a nice addition to my collection.  This necklace features a wire wrapped Rose Quartz pendant with a crystal accent. That paired with the hummingbird make this a very pretty but unique necklace that I know will bring happiness to someone one day. 

This hummingbird is currently looking for a home to call his own. If you wish to visit him, you can currently find him in my etsy shop that can be found at www.LuvAlisa.com.
