Stay true to your dreams

Hello everyone,  

 Follow your dreams!  Stay true to your heart and your dreams will come true!  Since leaving my day job in August I have been following my dreams and I'm loving every minute of it!  I feel so blessed to be doing what I love every day.  If you love what you do then you will never work a day in your life!  

   I have been so busy lately,  In the month of september I broke all kinds of records.  September 2012 has been my best selling month since opening in 2011.  Also I broke my daily record of 9 sales a day twice in september, so now my best selling day is 10 orders in one day.  So as you can imagine my fingers have been very busy.  Here are some of my newest awesome pieces i have been working on www.customhemptreasures.etsy.com

I am also working on my website www.customhemptreasures.com by adding more items and my new photos.  and as always you can email me at customhemptreasures {@} yahoo.com for customizations

Insanity Day 3

Hello all!  More of a personal post rather than about my hemp bracelets this time.  I just finished my workout of Insanity day 3.  Lets just say it totally kicked my but and Im surprised that I'm still alive right now.  The videos so far are mostly where you do a few different moves, then take a  break, then repeat them again but faster. Some of the moves are very hard for me to do more than a few, so i've altered them for now untill i get stronger.  One is where you do pushupsthen you jump in the air, then back down and do more pushups.  I've altered it where I just do 10 girl pushups, then stand up, then go back down and do more. So excited/exhausted :)
  Anyways I've bought some new stuff from Joanns so over the next few days i'm gonna start adding some new items.  Im also gonna start experimenting with different closures other than the bead and loop.

Until next time,

Brand New Buttons!

Buttons for hemp bracelets

I got some new buttons that I'm gonna add to my hemp bracelets as the closure!  SO exciting!  There are so many different colors and sizes for me to mix and match, keep updated for new bracelets featuring these beauties!

New Hemp Bracelets

So many new updates with Custom Hemp Treasures and with Etsy!  Etsy is unveiling a new check out method called Direct Checkout which should make purchasing items on etsy easier and keep the customer on the etsy site and not have them go to paypal.  Im excited about the possibilities for an easier checkout experience and am eagerly awaiting the unveiling. 
   I also have many new items in my shop,  My new favorites are my hemp bracelets with unique and funky buttons as the closure rather than a boring old bead.
  I also have some new colors of hemp, Fuscia, Brown and an awesome Turqoise. 
  I also have a new sparkly bracelet that I love!

I also got a t-shirt with my custom logo on it.  But I got it from vista print for only like 12 bucks.  On the Avery.com website I saw that they have a Tshirt transfer option.  I am going to try that soon to make shirts for my family and friends!
