Another Floridian wins $5 to spend!

Another shout out goes to Cindy from Florida- our most recent $5 gift certificate winner. She has great eyes and noticed a typo we needed to correct! Way to go- I'm sure there will be other typos from time to time so if anyone finds one or another error or glitch, please let us know... again- thanks to Cindy who now has some extra funds to spend during our Grand Opening Celebration July 1-8.

The Divas Facebook Page

We have some awesome friends out there in Cyberland! Many have already added us to their list of people they are following, and others have been sending comments or "liking" us on Facebook. We just updated our Facebook page and will do our best to keep it fresh! Our goal for the Facebook page is to have a place where we all can share ideas and suggestions, or post tips and tricks for others who want to learn more about jewelry making. We will also post links to other sites we feel are worthwhile checking out, and will be uploading photos of new pieces as we get them finished. Here is the link to our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-3-Funky-Divas/179850182069306?sk=wall

I know Emiley is busy working on the development of our KIDZ Kollection so keep watching to see when that line launches. Have a great day everyone!

Test Launch - Need your input!

Whew- this has been a whirlwind 2 weeks of troubleshooting and problem solving as we endeavored to get our site up and running. Everything was ready to go and we ran into a glitch with the URL address.

Any of our email contacts and followers who check out the site this week and send us comments or email feedback, you will get a FREE $5 Gift Certificate that can be applied towards any order placed during our grand opening that starts on Friday, July 1st and runs through Friday, July 8th. So hurry and check in and let us hear from you Today!

Problems with new website

Hi friends and loyal followers . . .  thanks for the messages and feedback letting us know there were problems with the Divas website. Gaining access has resulted in errors for many and Google notified us there was a problem with our location mapping so the URL address is not working as expected. So, in addition to designing and sorting through all the new gems and beadery we have been receiving, we are spending quite a bit of time trying to get all the problems fixed so we can try the launch of the new website again. So hang in there and we will be up again very soon. Will send out a new email as soon as we get everything working.
Until tomorrow- keep smilin'

Birthday Blessings

What a wonderful birthday on The Divas Launch Day! All kinds of birthday wishes, calls and cards, a steak dinner, ice cream and cake, and a relaxing swim in the pool. No official business yesterday but we did get a big box full of goodies, and our jewelry we had in a store in New Mexico finally arrived. In addition to the online store we will be setting up a display at Charlies Place in Humble next week. Still organizing the studio and plan to start firing precious metal clay pieces next week while we wait for the Steampunk embellishments to arrive. Busy times in the studio and anywhere else we can find a spare countertop to work on.
'Til next time . . . keep smilin' --Kathy

Orders and Organization

Hi all- hope you are spending a few minutes to view our new website and preparing a list for the goodies you want to get during our grand opening! We are so excited that we have been shopping for and ordering new beads and embellishments. As we continue to organize all of the links and check to see that they are all working, we are also busy reorganizing our studio. Whew. . .  lots of work to do this week! Check back tomorrow to see what else we are up to.

Until then. . .  happy summertime :)
--Kathy

Kidz Line coming soon . . .

While swimming in the pool this afternoon we were brainstorming new ideas and discussing what's next for our design collections. Our youngest diva, Emiley, has been hard at work sketching and assembling. Her experimentation with new beads and methods is fast evolving into her very own line. With the help of her uncle, they suggested we add a kids line of items for the younger set. Em starts junior high in the fall so who better to design for that age group than Emiley. Keep watching for our newest design star and her new line in what we are going to call our Kidz Kollection by Emiley. I can promise everyone . . .  you won't be disappointed! Until tomorrow... sweet dreams dear followers!  --Kathy

Online Store to Launch

Yeah! All the hard work has paid off and we are ready to launch the new online storefront for The 3 Funky Divas. The site has already been uploaded and published so check it our at:
the3funkydivas.com

The official launch date is Kathy's birthday, June 14th, but you can sneak a peak right now. We are starting with our most popular collections that all feature one-of-a-kind designs. We love custom designing pieces so if you have something special you would like us to make, or a color you want matched for that special event, just send us an email to: the3funkydivas@gmail.com

Our grand opening is scheduled for June 27 - July 4 and promises to be a great time of celebration. We are still updating our coupons and discount offers in the shopping cart but you can start planning now when you read what is happening each day during our grand opening.

Feel free to leave comments on either our blog, the website or on our Facebook page so we can continue to customize our site and the pieces we make.

Currently, we are working on a number of new pieces including large nuggets and chunky beaded creations sure to please all ages. We had hoped to have something for a Father's Day special but didn't want to rush just so we could put something on the site when we weren't totally thrilled with a new design. So if you have suggestions or ideas to share for future men's accessories, let us know.

We are also working on our new Steampunk line which is going to be very unique and exciting. We hope to roll that line out sometime this summer so stay tuned for further details.

Well - to all our loyal Diva followers- until next time,
"Let your state of mind dictate your design style."
