Autumn Updates

2011-10-09T23:38:00.001-05:00

Long time no see everyone! I swear I'm going to start getting better w/ this.

Lots has been going on for me over the past few months. So I'll try to hit the high points.

First,

My Etsy shop is finally staying a bit more active, though I could still use a little more love there! So please visit the NRSVampChick Designs Etsy shop!

Second, I have several shows this fall.

Had one yesterday for Emily's Power For A Cure. All proceeds went to the foundation. It was a small show, but great people to be involved with!

I’m really excited about my show in 2 weeks (October 22nd)! I’ll be in Lexington, KY for A Day of Mystical Bloodlust! Workshops, authors, vendors & a Halloween Ball! How can that be bad! I hope to see some of you there! Find out more at http://adayofmysticalbloodlust.webs.com/

November 2nd I’ll be at Middle Tennessee State University for a small craft fair put together by some Middle Tennessee Etsy friends!

November 12th will find me at the 8th Annual Grace Lutheran Craft Fair! Last year’s show was my very first craft fair, so I’m looking forward to doing this one again! It’s here in Clarksville, TN.

Third, I’m extremely excited about this. It’s taken a lot of work!

Myself, along w/ 6 other Clarksville-area crafters, have put together a craft show of our own!

The Christmas Craft Bazaar on November 5th!

We will have crafters, retailers, food, door prizes & raffle drawings!

The door prizes you have to be present to win, and they will be given out all day.

For the raffle prizes you don’t have to be there to win! So if you want a chance to win a Miche Bag or a baby quilt, please send $1.00 per ticket via paypal to nrsvampchickdesigns@gmail.com and leave a comment (or email me) w/ your name & email address so I can contact you if you win! All proceeds benefit Clarksville Crime Stoppers!

I think that catches you up a bit on what’s going on with me! I’ll hopefully having my website up and running this week! I’ll let you know when that happens!

Interview, Sale & New Items!

2011-07-18T15:18:00.001-05:00

First off, I want to apologize for my long absence. Health, computer meltdowns, and busy days ran some interference with my blogging life.

I started out blogging on Not-Really-Southern Vamp Chick as a book review blogger. You’ll still see some book reviews and other things pop up there from time to time, but my jewelry is my focus.

I’ve been doing quite a few craft fairs, in the process of organizing one of my own with some fellow local crafters (maybe a second one now), and now I’m trying to expand my online shop starting with Etsy. I do miss blogging though. So, here I am. I hope to be able to show some of my new creations (like all the ones pictured here), other current craft projects, other crafters, craft events I attend, and anything else that strikes my fancy.

Today, I would love it if you would check out the blog of my fellow Etsy Middle Tennessee Crafters. I’m lucky enough to be interviewed today. So please stop by and support us!

I’m also operating a blog and a way to keep a good link list and calendar for the Clarksville, TN area crafters. We’ve gotten to calling ourselves the Crazy Cool Crafters. You can check out that blog HERE and visit our page to find out more about all the different shops.

Also check out my shop. I’ve got several new items, with more to come. Get 10% off now by entering XMASJULY10 at checkout!

Thank you so much for your support!

<3 Amanda Leigh

Terrifying Tuesday (1)

2010-11-30T20:10:00.001-06:00

To kick of Terrifying Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to show you ways that people have incorporated classic movie monsters on Etsy! This was a blast to put together, so I hope you enjoy.

You can get this Set of 3 Monster Horror Prints from Quirkyville. Lots of other pop & horror art there too!

Bring some scary fun to the kitchen with The Bella Vintage Inspired Classic Horror Movies Full Apron by Boojiboo. I think it would give me an excuse to bake!

What vampire fan wouldn’t love this Count Dracula Necklace by Venus Flytrap Jewels with arguably the best Dracula ever!

I want this! Get all 10 mini prints from the Pavor Nocturnus Collection by Artist Laurene Alvarado.

Everything by The Luna Girls is lovely, but this Handmade Classic Movie Monsters Corset Top fit in best today.

I must say that this is awesome! Check out Horror Crafts for this Cult Classic Horror Icons 16mm Photo Bracelet.

Miscellaneous Monday (1) My Monday

2010-11-29T17:30:00.001-06:00

Miscellaneous Monday will have a new topic every week. This week is my week to introduce you all to NRSVampChick Designs and how it got started for those of you that don’t know.

I started things out with a book review blog, Not-Really-Southern Vamp Chick. On it I talk about all things relating to paranormal & urban fantasy books. Through that I got to know several jewelry makers & crafters and found the wonderfulness that is Etsy.

Finally I decided to try my hand at making my own things and haven’t been able to stop. I just want to make more and more!

First, I started out reconstructing pieces. Like this one which was a necklace that dangled, but never hung well. I don’t think I ever wore it because it just didn’t look good on at all. So I made a choker and set of earrings out of it.

Then I began making a few pieces that I had always wanted to have, but couldn’t ever find like I wanted.

I wanted to make some non-jewelry items too, such as bookmarks, and hope to add more things soon!

I do craft fairs on occassion, so for those I tend to make things a bit different than what I put in my shop. Well some of it is, not all of it. I will try to keep track of most things that I make. You can see these at my photo albums of my Facebook Fan Page. I’ll keep an updated link list at the My Creations page here too. If you ever want to get something you see in a picture that’s not in my shop, let me know and I’ll add it there for you. :)

I made a few things that aren’t pictured while I was at the Fall Craft Fair. A few fellow vendors saw me working and wanted custom creations or matching pieces for other things. It was so much fun!

Now it’s Christmas time & I can make fun items for the holidays! Some are in my shop now & some I’m saving for a craft fair, but I must say that they’re fun to make!

So that’s what this year has been like for me. A bit crazy & full of new things. The jewelry part has just been since July too, so I’m looking forward to the new year & a full year of crafting!

It’s Cyber Monday & I’ve been Interviewed!

Weekly Features

2010-11-28T12:22:00.001-06:00

I’m planning on having something posted here every day. Whether it be an item of mine, or another crafter, I hope to keep this blog very active.

I thought that having a set schedule of features throughout the week might help me do this. So, I figured I’d explain a bit of what you’ll be seeing here on NRSVampChick Designs.

Showcase Sundays will feature another jewelry maker/crafter/artisan and give them a chance to tell a bit about themselves and feature some of their work. This will be starting up next Sunday. If you would like to sign up to be featured on Showcase Sunday some week click on the Weekly Features & Signups page tab above.

Miscellaneous Monday will be a bit different every week, but you’ll catch the drift quickly. ;)

Terrifying Tuesday might end up being my favorite day because I get to have fun with some of the things that inspire me most!

Win on Wednesday: Contests Around the Blogosphere is the same contest list that I post on my Not-Really-Southern Vamp Chick book review blog. If you have a contest you want listed let me know & I’ll add it on there.

Pick a Theme Thursday is up to you! suggest a theme to me on the Weekly Features & Signups page and you might just get to see it here soon!

Shop on Saturday is another feature from Not-Really-Southern Vamp Chick. Part I will be shown there & Part II here. It’s where I show off some of my great finds for you from the week, mostly from Etsy.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know. Also, if you want to take part in anything either go to the Contact Me page or Weekly Features & Signups page.

Ok, well if I keep putting this off, it'll be the new year before I get this blog up and running how I want it, so what better day to start things off than Black Friday. For those that don't know, Black Friday is the insane shopping day that happens in the US the day after Thanksgiving. Shops open at ungodly hours in the morning and people are waiting in line while it's still dark out, just to be the first one's through the door to push and shove their way to the best deals.

For me, there is very little that I want that makes getting out on Black Friday worth all that, so once again I am at home refusing to leave my house if at all possible. :)

I have friends though that search through the sale ads, schedule out their morning, have one person picking up and dropping people off, and all this in the order of things most need-most wanted-and best deals. I keep thinking about when I worked retail at a mall and my manager only scheduled me, another manager, and a new kid to open the store. Since then I have HATED Black Friday lol.

So why this little lessen on Black Friday? Especially since most of you know what it is. Well you all know that I have my NRSVampChick Designs Etsy shop. I figured I'd spread a little Black Friday love for the others sitting around on the computer! Everything in my shop has free shipping until midnight tonight. Just enter in NRSBLACKFRIDAY at checkout & you'll receive a refund via paypal. This lasts until midnight CST tonight.

If you do miss this don't worry too much, I'll have a few other specials coming up for the holidays! :)

I hope you enjoy this new blog that will feature my new jewelry and the other jewelers/crafters I find, along with some of my inspirations!

If there are any certain things you all are hoping to see, why don't you let me know! :)
