I was...
blogged about today. Or should I say, hija4 designs was blogged about today. I got an email first thing this morning telling me that someone had blogged about my jewelry today. I was like huh, who?
If you would like to read it about what was said and who said it , you can go to
http:/shealamode.blogspot.com. I am still sitting on cloud nine or possibly ten.

Also today I announced the opening of my website http://www.hija4.com/. I recently obtained the services of http://www.mrosewebdesign.com/ to redesign my site. She did a fabulous job, don't you agree? It took her no time at all, so if you need a great web designer please check her out and let her know I recommended her. ;) She came highly recommended to me and I'm passing her along to you. She'll be there after you are up and running. She will support you after she has finished her job. I don't know any other web designers that can say that they will stick around.

Another gal I'd like to also mention is Michelle Pippin. If you need a great business coach, http://www.womenwhowow.com/. She will take you with your business to the clouds, but I'm sitting here on Cloud 10.

Lighting is everything.

I'm updating the photos for my website. I wanted to create a more uniformed style. If you are looking for getting better pictures for your product. I used the ezcube with two photo lights on the outside of it. I'm so happy I bought them. Great investment! I never dreamed I'd have photos so crisp!

I am getting so excited and its really hard to keep it a secret much longer. I've been working with several of the Diva women lately and they are extremely talented and brilliant women. If you need to change your website image or business direction. I suggest you get in contact with me. Do I know People that will get you excited and then you can have a secret too!

Look for upcoming news about Hija4 designs. She's my baby. She's been growing for 4 years now and last year was the best year yet.

But this year, oh baby she has blown the roof off the house, its hard to contain her. We're anxious to spread our wings and fly! How's your business?
;)

Recently I met with Elaine from hipnchic.blogspot.com and shealamode.blogspot.com. She is an amazing, intelligent, talented woman. She changed my logo and suggested other ideas to help with the growth of my jewelry business. I'm excited and look forward to implementing many of her ideas. She could help you too, visit her at http://shealamode.blogspot.com.

The next step I am taking is a brand new look for my website designed by www.mrosewebdesign.com
If you think yours need a lift and you're looking for a fabulous designer check her out. Mine will be done soon and You will be the first to know!

Divapreneur 1st ever mag was delivered yesterday with RAVE reviews. It was 47 pages long. Has valuable information for women who own their own business. I purchased a spot in the Sweetheart Guide.

I love purses, recently I purchased one from Spirited Style at Divapreneur. But you can check her designs on her ebay site. http://myworld.ebay.com/spirited*style/

Spirited style created this hobo bag for me. I wanted my business logo and wala, not a problem for this talented diva.
I took the item out of the box and the packaging was so nicely done , I didn't want to ruin it by opening it. But I was so excited I ripped it open.
I saw her site and emailed her to see if she could add my logo to her hobo bag style. She said absolutely. So I emailed her a jpg file of my logo. She did it! hija4 looks so awesome on it. Don't you agree? I added a few more pictures to show off her brilliant creativity.


Don't you want one?

How do you listen to your MUSIC?

I like to have my whole music collection on my ipod and recently I bought a Jbl On Stage. My sister recently received a ipod for Christmas, after years of me raving about mine. She just celebrated her birthday and the wonderful women at her workplace got her this JBL On Stage for her to listen to her ipod. She came over to show it off the other day, and I just had to have one.

The JBL has volume control and runs either by electricity or on batteries. I got mine at Best Buy for $80.00 If you want it to match your black ipod pay $20.00 more. I just wanted something portable to carry back and forth to the office so I could listen to my music collection.

I especially love listening to music when I'm designing jewelry it always inspires me. Harajuki girls!
