Holiday Wishes is a fun idea where you post your wishlist – anything from cards to pipe dreams like a car – and then you go through lists other people have posted and see if you can fulfill any of their wishes. I’ve been doing it on a community on Livejournal<\/a> for years and years now but I tend to also copy my list here since not a lot of people are on LJ anymore. My list is over here on the community<\/a> or listed below. Spread some holiday cheer!<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

About Me<\/u><\/b>
\nGreetings! I’m Miss M. Turner. I’m 36 and I live in the Tampa Bay Area of Florida (USA) with my guy and three cats. (Used to only be two but we found and rescued the most adorable fluffy orange kitten earlier this year so now we have three. The felines are taking over!)<\/p>\n

It’s been a pretty good year all things considered and though life always has it’s ups and downs, I think it’s been more ups than down this year so that’s always nice. I’ve been in this community for longer than I can remember. LOL I think like 7 or 8 years now? I look forward to it every year and enjoy both sending and receiving some holiday cheer!<\/p>\n

Wishlist!<\/u><\/b>
\n 1. As always, first and foremost: To have a good season in my shop PhoenixFire Designs<\/a><\/b>
\nAfter my major surgery two years ago and not having a job to come back to after recovery, I decided to make a go at running my business full time. It’s been the best decision ever but it can be scary because it’s unpredictable. I can’t always guarantee what my income will be. My holiday season tends to be make or break for me and I count on it a lot for the whole year. I make beautiful pieces by hand and with love, including my world-famous Tree of Life pendants. I also gladly customize and personalize!<\/p>\n

Even just spreading the word is helpful! Posting my link<\/b><\/a> or “Like” my facebook page<\/b><\/a> is greatly appreciated. You can post it in your journal, pinterest, facebook, twitter – anything! The more people know about it, the more I have a chance of getting buyers! Please help support handmade this holiday!<\/p>\n

You’re also welcome to use any image in my shop<\/a> or one of these images to link with as well:

2. And speaking of…Something Handmade by you or someone you know!<\/b>
\nWhat’s your specialty? I’d love to see what you (or someone you know) loves to make by hand. Knit, crochet, sew, printmaking, woodwork, paper crafting, photography, paint, art, ceramics, pottery, glass, embroidery, screen printing, etc., etc., etc…..I’m leaving this totally open. Help support other handmade artisans too!<\/p>\n

3. Any Kind of Craft Supplies!<\/b>
\nAnd continuing the handmade theme, I can always use more supplies! I am a very crafty person and welcome just about any craft supplies! Rubber stamps, stickers, beads (not plastic please), jewelry findings, gemstone beads, papercraft items, die cuts, embossing folders, fabric, notions, tools – you name it, I’ll take it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

4. Gift certificates for Supplies!<\/b>
\nThere are always things I need running my own business. Especially supplies. So maybe you can help with gift cards I can use for places to get things to run my shop. Got $7.52 left on one? I’ll still gladly put it to good use. Craft stores, office supply, even places you might not think of like home decor and such that I use for my displays when I have a craft show – just about anything is helpful!<\/p>\n

Three places that are exceptionally awesome?<\/p>\n
