More New Personalized Christmas Ornaments from Risky Beads + FREE U.S. Shipping Code

Greetings all! The other day when we had a whopping 100 days till Christmas, I debuted this years personalized Christmas ornaments.  Well, now it's only 90 days till Christmas and time to introduce a few new designs for this year!  Enjoy free U.S. shipping on orders of $25 or more for a limited time with code FREESHIP!

First up is a gift for my sister who lost her precious yellow lab a few weeks ago. :(  Made me so sad to make this ornament, but I know it will make her happy when I give it to her.


And then I made a memorial ornament for my assistant (& cousin) Blair because she lost her grandfather right before Christmas last year.


Next up is a happier occasion! My other assistant, Shantel, got married in June, so we decided to make a newlywed ornament for her!


All of these ornaments can be customized for you or someone you love. They are made out of nickel silver so they have a great weight to them but will NOT tarnish!  Hooray!  They make great gifts for teachers, babysitters, friends, co-workers, etc!! Order early because we always sell a ton end up turning people away. You can view all of our ornaments HERE.

For FREE U.S. SHIPPING on orders of $25 or more, use code FREESHIP at checkout for a limited time!

Have a great day!

Personalized Christmas Ornaments for 2012

Well, Christmas is less than 3 months away now...can you believe it?  I unveiled my 2012 ornaments last month and of course, forgot to post them here. 0_o  So, in addition to the ones I offered last year, there are a few new designs as well.  Let's check them out!!

First up is the standard personalized Christmas ornament, featuring your choice of a snowflake, fir tree, or snowman symbol this year!


The 1" rounded square ornament is back this year with variations in symbols and colors!  Here's a peak at a few, including the popular pet ornament.





You can view my entire Christmas section here.  Order early because I've had to stop these around December 1st the last two years due to overwhelming demand.  This year, I'll have a little more help, but don't take any chances -- especially if you're an international buyer.  My cut off for international Christmas orders is typically mid-November.  On all designs, save a little money and buy some in bulk!

Holiday Ordering and Shipping Times at Risky Beads


Risky Beads has gotten very busy in the last month, and I'm getting a ton of emails/convos asking for information.  This blog post is at attempt to consolidate those answers in one place and make it easier for me to concentrate on completing orders. :)

Here are the FAQs:

When will my order ship?
As of December 8, 2010, hand stamped metal pieces are shipping out in about 7 business days from date of order (and payment.)  I ship domestic orders first class mail straight out of PayPal.  Orders are trackable that way.  You'll receive an email from PayPal when your order ships.

Can I upgrade to USPS Priority Shipping?
Yes, but you need to tell me before you order.  Upgrading to priority doesn't get your order out of my shop any faster; it just moves it faster once it's out.

How long does the mail take?
Typically, First Class mail takes 2-5 days; Priority takes 2-3.  These times are stretched during the holidays due to an increase in volume.  Please consult the postal service if you have other questions.  I apologize, but I can't predict these things.

When is your international order deadline?
It was December 3rd; it's now passed.  Any international orders that come in will be done as soon as I can get to them.

What should I do if I have a question about my order?
Please message me from the 'contact' link on your order page.  That way I know who you are and what order you're referring to.  I have over 100 orders right now, so that's the best way to get to me.

Are you Wonder Woman?
God, I wish.  Oh Santa... about that invisible plane...

I'll add to this post if I think of any others!

Ho, ho, ho--

Christmas in Carolina - Finds from the NCTriangle Team

It's beautiful in North Carolina right now.  I'm in Raleigh where it's currently 60 degrees and fabulously sunny with a gorgeous blue sky!  Thought I'd take a peek at some fabulous holiday finds from my NCTriangle Team peeps!

Maybe if you use this Mistletoe Soap, someone will kiss you in the shower!


Here we have some old-timey Candy Canes.  I have a feeling that primitive candy canes are uber-low in calories!


Don't put this little snowman in hot water... he might melt!


Okay, I'll confess that I wouldn't know what to do with this yarn, but I still want everything in the entire shop!


OMG, and I need one of these!  It conceals a post-it note pad!  (They need hard core protection in my purse, trust me.)


Well, hopefully now, you're in the Christmas spirit! Only 44 days to go!  Don't forget the finishing touch for all your presents!


Dashing through the snow....
