Not only are you smart, persistent and so thoughtful to us all on the boards, but you are artistically talented as well. I hope you do well with selling the jewelry. My ex doctor's wife does all those breast cancer walks (he goes too, so he is never in the office and when he is/was he was useless- the hospital now thinks he's a joke). Anyway she sells all kinds of stuff in the office. Her daughter makes jewelry (a portion goes toward the charity) and she raffles off a blanket she crochets every year. I even bought one of the bracelets that I can't work the clasp on in hopes of getting better treatment from the doc. Didn't work though.
Now, here's a thought (rather wicked). How about putting a picture of a very sweet but pathetic looking child and a message: Help Save This Child" A little story about how she needs treatment for a rare disease and the treatment isn't covered by insurance or any charitable agencies. In fact, I bet you have a picture of yourself as a child. One where the child is trying to smile but can't quite make it because of all the pain. A kind of waif like image. It would be somewhat honest - what's a few years. Maybe you could get Sally Struthers to do a tv infomercial appeal thing.

You can email me and I will give you my phone number and we can talk. I can make any special order in any color to match the dresses. If I have a picture of the dress, I can make some suggestions if you don't already know what you want. I will ship any of the stuff I already have made up, no problem. My bil told me about a special button on the back of the camera to try to take better close ups so if you want to see a particular piece, let me know and I will try to get a better shot. I also have several in light and dark topaz that the pictures turned out so bad, I didn't even bother with them. The pictures represent about 2/3 of what I have in stock right now. My email is michelebrake @ sbc global.net no spaces of course!!

Thanks Zara! I think I will nix the medical cost part but I don't mind writing a small paragraph to explain exactly what the treatments are and what sarcoidosis is but I am still not sure if that is a good thing or not.

Thanks Susie! You are always too kind! I like making jewelry, it just depends on if my hands are too swollen or not and I can only do a little at a time because it does make them hurt.
Whats with some of these doctors?? Crazy! I have been to more than my share of quacks as well! Sad but true!

If clients have asked about your health, maybe you could do the writeup with a lead-in of something like, "For everyone who's been kind enough to ask how I'm doing, here's what we finally figured out" and go on from there being sure to include the information that you're - hurray! - doing better. And maybe saying something about how the treatments are making it easier for you to do the jewelry making you love so much.
