Giving Growth Jewelry

As the weeks get shorter till our project is finished, it is rewarding to look at everything we have accomplished throughout this school year. Emily and I have done a lot and though we most likely will not meet our money goal, we have worked really hard and am surprised how well we stayed on track and didn't wait until the last second to start working. Spreading the word was definitely the hardest point since our Instagram didn't work out very well, but we did become very successful at school, and even all the way in Colorado. Emily and I have agreed that we will keep selling them until we run out of supplies, and I have even considered to keep buying supplies and instead of giving 100% of the proceeds, using some of the money just to cover the expense of the beads and string. Through this process, I have learned a lot about the process of selling a product and have become very interested in the process.

I think our main struggle is how incredibly busy we both are and the amount of stress we are under so it is difficult for us to meet our deadline. I have learned how much I love making a difference and this learning experience has been amazing. After our time is up we would like to continue working on meeting our goal because we believe it is important to work towards making a difference in this world. I am super excited to see what we could do with this in the future.If we were to do it again I would have loved to have gotten to start earlier that way we would have had more class time.  The necklace I am wearing here is one of my favorite.   

As selling our jewelry as become very common at school now that we have gotten our name out there, we have started to consider other ways we can spread our name around and start selling in other places than just our school. Mrs. Jaynes gave me the great idea to look into getting a  booth at the Supermarkets that happen often at the Factory. We are going to look into that idea some more, but their might be come complications with our age and maybe even needing a permit to set up a booth, but we will be begin finding more information. Another idea is just starting to build and promote our Instagram more. We do have one, but we haven't taken a ton of photos of our jewelry, so we have to ty to get those first and just grow from there. The most simple way is just to ask those who have purchased jewelry to promote and just spread by ear. Just this weekend I went to go to one of my friends play, and her theater friend from a different school asked me if she could buy a choker, just from h...
