Top Buzzwords for 2008

Did you know that according to Time the top 3 buzzwords of 2008 were as follows:

1. Change- Regardless of what political side you favor so many people were and still are hoping 2009 will bring change, a end to the recession and an end to war.

2. Bailout: All you need to do is watch the news and you know what a Bailout is! The word bailout surely is spilling into 2009 with so many other companies seeking a bailout.

3. Hockey Mom: We know where this one came from, Governor Sarah Palin and it caught fire.

I wanted to create a piece of jewelry that represented three powerful words so I chose Change, Hope and Peace! you can find this piece here.

Featured Organization for September Autism Speaks

Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined.

The "Hope" necklace has been created to raise awareness for Autism and a portion of proceeds for each necklace sold will be donated to Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders.

The "Hope" necklace is a 1 inch sterling silver disc that has been hand stamped with the word Hope. The piece includes a sterling silver puzzle charm and two birthstone crystals of your choice. The charms hang on a 18 inch sterling silver bead/ball chain.

Artist note: The letters on this disc have been hand stamped one at a time. I do not use machines. The letters will not line up perfectly and are not meant to this is part of the charm that makes your piece one of a kind. No two pieces will ever be exactly the same. The disc has been brushed and the letters have been oxidized/antiqued, to make them stand out it will appear to be aged or slightly tarnished but has been given a good polish. All materials used are of the highest quality and each piece has been made w/ loving care. All Designs Copyright of Kristen's Custom Creations 2008.
