Featured on the Weekend TODAY show

I have very exciting news! Some of my hand stamped jewelry is going to be featured on NBC's Weekend Today Show this Sunday, May 2nd on a segment about Mother's Day gifts. I'm honored and excited.

seeing red??

I've been toying with the idea of changing the backgrounds of ALL of my photos to red. Right now I use a variety of colors/styles for the backgrounds when I take pictures of my pieces. Some customers say it's interesting and fun to have such a variety of backgrounds when browsing through my designs. Others say that it would look better if there was more continuity throughout the photos. What do you think?
