Behind the Scenes During the Christmas Rush

Whew! What a month! I love Christmas time and everything that goes along with it. In my own home, my husband and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on the 19th, I turned 24 on the 24th, and we had a lovely time at my parent's house for Christmas Day. For TuckooandMooCow...the past few weeks have been stuffed with creating for you all!

 I love the holiday shopping season: chatting with customers, sending out pieces I know will be gifts, all of it!  To give you a glimpse behind the scenes, I wanted to share with you some pictures from December when I started the work-around-the-clock schedule.


This is me working late into the night during the second week finishing a bunch of Christmas orders.


 My husband was awesome enough to stay up late and snap some pictures of me working. Pardon the messy desk--I don't clean up much once I'm in the creative "zone."

Hand Painted Necklace, Custom Pet Portrait Jewelry
This was one of my favorite custom pieces from this holiday season in progress. I just love how sweet this cat and dog are together!


Finally, Christmas Eve (and my 24th birthday) rolled around. My cairn terrier, George, and I didn't make it much past lunch before we fell asleep.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I have so much to share about 2012 that I'm about to burst, but more on that later.

  2. I wonder if that one pic is of the book pendant that I had you create for my very good friend! I can't wait to see it and hope it will arrive soon!
    Enjoy the day.
    Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!

    P.S. It is really hard to read your blog with the gray text on black! I have to cut and paste it into Word each time in order to read it, but I love to see what you are creating!
