Our usual small family potluck gathering is my favorite tradition! and now that most of my sisters have kids, it's even more fun!

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?
I love giving handmade jewelry for gifts. most of the time, the gifts i choose are one of a kind and just gorgeous - even my most fashion savvy sister is happy!

What is the current best selling item in your shop?
Right now, my open hoop earrings are the best sellers, with my stacking rings a close second. It thrills me to think that people consider giving my designs as gifts!

Chocolate Dog Studio

What is your favorite holiday tradition?
We try to always have cheese and crackers dinner with family on Christmas eve.

What is your favorite gift to give at the holidays?
There are so many different personalities in our family that there isn't one favorite gift. I do prefer to give something handmade. Some handmade gifts that I have given in the past were jams and jellies, hand knit scarves, and handmade tote bags.

What is the current best selling item in your shop?
The current best seller in my shop would have to be the cup cozies. I have so many different styles and colors that there is something for everyone and the price makes it a great deal!
