Happy Holidays! Hey ya'll! I hope you have been having a wonderful holiday season. As you know I haven't posted any jewelry designs for awhile and frankly I've been focusing on promoting my Serve The Silent coloring & activity books. My focus really shifted after tearing ligaments in my dominant hand/right wrist because it took a long time to recover and slowed down my creation time. I haven't forgotten about you all! I've also had increased family responsibilities.
Lately, I've been inspired to draw up a few necklace designs while I rehab torn ligaments in my knees that's grounded me alot. I will post them when I create them and am working on developing out my online store website as well. Today is Day 2 of Kwanzaa which focuses on Self-Determination. This is a holiday that I never got into until this week and am learning as well as applying some of the concepts. I've now accepted that we're in an undeniable place in our country and the world where we can no longer avoid having an online store/website so that will be my focus going into the new year, 2026. I hope you also see that it's more important than ever to support small businesses like mine because the corporations are dominating as well as mergers into mega conglomerates and many small businesses are pausing or closing. One way you can support me is to follow me on both brands, Abacus Creations 🧮 as well as Serve The Silent coloring & activity books and my STS You Tube channel as well for uplifting and encouraging videos in general. It doesn't cost you a thing but a moment to Like/Follow/Subscribe and interact from time to time. By the way I'm doing a book giveaway on New Year's Eve on my Serve The Silent YouTube channel. Please subscribe and make sure your account visibility is set to public so I can see you and enter you into the driveway. I'll post the link in the comments. Thank you and good luck on winning!
