A BIT QUIET

We had excitement for a few days, and I have given away all the InSteps. Will mail them out today.

I will continue to go through extras of things I have to give away and will post here. Some may go on ebay, as I need to sort things through.

We are moving, and you know how that goes, you must downsize. I will continue to sell JTRS, and nothing will change but my address : )

Will keep you all posted. We leave tomorrow for Cody Wyoming to look at the area and housing. Why there? On the way back from the family reunion we spent the night there and it seems to be a nice town. That is why we are going back to check it out. Of course Miss Marcie has to be there to check it out also for her paw of approval : )

I will answer emails when I get back. Most of them I can answer on the road on my blackberry : )

WINNERS OF COLOR AND COA

CONGRATULATIONS TO DENISE FOR THE COA~

Whether at the office, a black tie affair or just out to tie one on. A sparkling gemmed tie flows elegantly down to reveal an open toe. Add the spiked heel and platform. This sophisticated beauty demands respect. Who says it's a mans world.

I don't think I clearly understood how the coloring contest would be. I understood it to be what color the shoe would be in production.I'm sorry for the misinformation.

The black and white shoe was the most inspiring for Raine and Oralia. The shoe will be black and white with a red tie. Denise is the one that submitted the black and white coloring.

Everyone did a wonderful job!! Thank you for participating.

COA AND COLORING WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED THIS AFTERNOON

~MAJOR SCOOP~ DIRECTLY FROM RAINE~

Just yesterday, Raine received the shoe charm GARDEN PARTY for her approval. She is thrilled with the size and the definition. It will be 3.5cm, silver with green enamel, a nice crystal and detailed just as the JTRS shoe is!!

With today's jewelry, big and bold is the fashion statement, and the charm is large enough to wear on your neck, bracelet or even hang from your purse without being lost.

This is just the approval piece, no color on it, but we will most likely see this in the spring release!!!
Raine was holding it in her hand and she could not be more pleased!!

CLEANING HOUSE~CAN YOU USE??

I am sorting through the shop and have found some instep mags etc. I would be willing to give them to someone, if you just pay the shipping.

If you are interested email me artis.forshoes@verizon.net

ORALIA AND RAINE

OUR TWO LADIES HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO GET TOGETHER YET TO DECIDE ON THE WINNERS OF THE COLOR OF THE SHOE AND THE COA~

1. Whether at the office,a black tie affair or just out to tie one on. A sparkling gemmed tie flows elegantly down to reveal an open toe. Add the spiked heel and platform. This sophisticated beauty demands respect. Who says it's a mans world.

2.Tie One On

Whether you are at a cocktail bar, a ballroom or an intimate dinner, this brilliantly colored shoe with its glistening neck tie and sparkling crystals will give you a euphoric feeling as though you want to Tie One On!

3.Ow-ooo! This show gets wolf whistles and cat calls! Stand tall on the spiky heels and prowl the night like a tiger with a rhinestone leash! A purr-fect shoe to attract attention and dance the night away.

4.If you're looking for something a little bit daring, yet sophisticated and stylish....
Then this is Just the Right Shoe.
With a mischevious peep toe and a towering stilletto,
you can't go wrong....
But top that off with sparkling jewels to add a little pizazz;
And you've just got to Tie One On; and dare to be different.

5.Show them who’s boss with these empowering stilettos. Orned with a sequined tie, this shoe is bound to have them walk in your steps. Take charge and lead the way to Happy Hour, or a night on the town. They’ll know, the moment they see you, that you mean business.
