Locket: Special Delivery!

This is probably my last post before I'm scheduled to deliver my daughter on Wednesday, so I wanted to post the locket I made to wear for her arrival!

Large Silver w/crystals, gold SHD flower, birthstone girls in July & December, pink carriage, mom heart, crystal flower, clear crystal droplet and present droplet on the pearl layering chain.

Somehow in making the 4th of July locket and putting my 'personal' charms aside in my charm case, I lost my purple ribbon. :( While it's listed as being for pancreatic cancer on our website, purple is also used for March of Dimes. I'm going to have to order another one when I place my next order. :( It must have slipped out and fallen on the floor when I was showing someone the screen I had in with it and I didn't notice until yesterday. SAD!!!! My room has been cleaned since then, so even searching I didn't think I had a chance of finding it.

Ah, well...

When I return to my blog, I'm going to be posting a lot of tips and tricks to get your business BOOMING right from the start! I'll also be attending my first event (hopefully) in August and will have plenty of pictures and a report for that. My city is doing something new where they are holding a sidewalk sale once a month along our downtown! I was signed up (and so excited for) the June one when I ended up in the hospital the weekend prior, and now the next one is next weekend and there is NO way I'll make it. August will give me time to get acclimated to being a mommy to two and working full time AND making my business awesome, though! ;)

If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me an email! While I may not post for a week or so, I will definitely be checking in from time to time!

Be charming, all!

Locket: Fourth of July

Still stuck here in the hospital for another week. SO, I decided since I can't partake in fireworks and BBQ for this 4th of July, I'll show my spirit with a locket!

I'll be wearing this tomorrow and probably through the weekend. :)

Large Silver w/Crystals, anchor, American Flag, Eagle, Sunglasses & Red, White & Blue Swarovski crystals on the pearl layering chain with the flip flop droplet. :)

I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday and please be safe! :)

Lockets - Large Gold w/Crystals & Midnight!!!!

Finally got my hands on these today and I just couldn't help but make some designs with them!

First up: Large Gold Locket w/Crystals

Large Gold w/Crystals, Gold Gear, Gold-themed charms

I'm not usually a 'gold' girl but I do absolutely love this! Too bad my gold froggy isn't here yet. :(

Now, for the Midnight Locket!!!

Large Midnight Locket, Crystal Droplet and Faith/Vintage themed charms

I think the locket my nurse designed has me in a 'monochrome' mood right now because despite my normal leanings towards pops of color and PINK, I'm LOVING on this locket. I may even wear it tomorrow instead of my normal....>.>;;

Speaking of MY locket - my pearl layering chain came today and fdjklagjkdlaf it's so nice! I can't wait to wear it with something other than scrubby hospital clothes and PJ's! LOL! Now I have my silver rolo with ring station and the pearl to switch between when I want different looks (and, of course, the original chain which is still awesome if I do say so myself!)

Tomorrow is my U/S to determine my daughter's size prior to my induction the next week so I don't know what time I'll have to make more lockets, depending on that.

Let's start July off with a bang, though! You can order any time from the Shop button at the top of the page and if you're interested in joining you can use the Join button at the top as well! Summer is in full swing and it's a great time to build a gorgeous locket or start a crazy awesome business! I'm always available by email or message if you ever have questions!

New Locket Pic!

I just had to post this because I absolutely adore how this locket turned out. One of my nurses built this locket and I'm delivering it to her tomorrow. Normally I'm one for pops of color but I really like how simple and elegant this one is in the monochrome.

Silver locket, silver South Hill Flower, Silver C&E, vanilla and titanium pearls.

She designed this locket with her children's initials, but I think this would be a great theme to do for a wedding as well with the wedding ring and perhaps a little tweaking. :)

Looking for a change? SOUTH HILL DESIGNS IS FOR YOU! :)

It amazes me every day how much I've changed since joining South Hill Designs as an artist. Don't get me wrong - I've done direct sales before but never have I been a part of a company that makes me want to succeed so much.

I can never say enough about my upline. Jennifer is a wonderful person and so very helpful when I need it - not to mention supportive! The company I was previously with didn't have nearly this kind of support and family-like atmosphere.

One of the things that really makes me happy about SHD is the fact that even at Executive levels, our upline are required to stay active to receive commissions (400bv - so unbelievably doable it's not even funny - 1 social a month and you're far beyond that). Not many companies require their 'executive' levels to actually sell product. Not that I would stop - I love the lockets too much - but I like that it keeps us honest.

That being said, I really want to share this opportunity with YOU! The resources we have available are limitless and the support of our corporate team is unmatched. We have US manufacturers, unbelievable shipping turn-around (they guarantee 3-5 days, most of my orders have been shipping the day of or next!), great customer service for both artists and customers, hostess rewards backed by corporate - you don't have to pay them out of your inventory! and the list goes on!

I'm excited to announce on top of the two social packages that we already offer, SHD now offers a $59 Quick-Start package! Plenty of top-selling artists have started with our Quick Start package and gone on to be amazing performers! Now, there is the added benefit of a locket, an upgraded chain and a screen along with the business tools that were offered before! Right now, they are including the Large Silver Locket with Crystals, the Interlocking Chain with Ring Station and the Silver South Hill Flower screen. These may change in the future, but for now that's a retail value of $65 all on its own! Add in a few charms at wholesale price when you check out and you've got your very own locket to use as a great advertisement tool - and believe me when I say it's the best advertisement you could possibly have! I get asked all of the time about my locket!

Above are the three packages we offer when you join. I always say "go with the package you can afford". The Small Social is a great value if you can swing it - I did and I don't regret it at ALL. I was able to sell a locket the DAY I got my kit in the mail to a family friend who needed a gift for her granddaughter's dance recital that night. My only real regret is not getting the Medium Social kit - I knew it would be stretching me too far but the inventory would have been so worth it at a social. 

Whatever way you decide to go, the business growth opportunity is truly endless! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time! I am always available via email and facebook!

Be charming~!

State of the Andii - New Locket Pictures, Socials and Promotions!

Still truckin' here in the hospital. Every day that I'm here increases my chances to make it to 34 weeks and give my daughter the best chance to have a short stay in the NICU. Two more weeks and then it'll be over and she'll be here. :)

I've been making the most of being here and set up a display in my hospital room. So far I've sold two lockets to my nurses and had a LOT of interest from some of the others. :) I took some pictures of my display to show off - just goes to show you what you can do with limited resources and how easy South Hill Designs sells itself!

My entire display. Since I don't have my stands, I used my case!

Catalog, business cards, brochures, etc. :)

Three lockets showcasing the different styles and sizes and what you can do.

My charm cases :)

At night, I hang my locket there as well so it's great safe keeping for my locket. :) The pink mini is the locket I made for my 18 month old, who wears it every time she comes to visit and calls it her "pretty"! She's so cute. :3

Being here, I've also had a chance to make up a few new lockets. This is the favorite of the bunch:

Cruise themed!

If I can ever get away on a cruise, this will be the locket design I'll wear for it. I just love the theme!

In social news, I am closing my launch party on Sunday, the 23rd! Any order placed on or before 6pm on the 23rd will receive a free charm (either discounted from their order or mailed from my stock to match the theme of the locket you order) and an entry into the drawing for the FREE Rose Gold Mini Locket with Crystals! I will be doing the drawing that night and have the locket out to the winner on Monday! Check out the social here to order!

Last but most DEFINITELY not least - I've lost my training wheels!!!! I am officially an Independent Artist with South Hill Designs and no longer in training! This is so awesome that I did it in less than two months! I couldn't quite believe it myself when my sponsor Jennifer told me last night! I thought I was still at least a month or two away. And I did that while IN A HOSPITAL BED! Wow, just imagine what you can do with South Hill Designs!

Our $29 quick start kit will no longer be available after this week - starting next week, we will be offering a NEW quick start kit that not only has the business tools in it the $29 kit had, it also comes with a large locket with crystals, an upgraded chain and a coin, all for only $59! It's a great way to get you started and you can pick your charms at wholesale at the same time to be able to showcase your business right away! I always recommend buying the kit you can afford out of the three but I know this will be a great incentive for those that want to get started but don't necessarily have the funds! Stock is great, but it's not necessary! You can do this without it, I promise!!!

I have a little incentive for all new artists that join with any kit in the month of June with me: I will send you 3 charms of YOUR CHOICE as soon as you sign up! You can chose to wear them, sell them, or give them as gifts! Doesn't matter! What a great way to get started! Sign up here today or feel free to email me at south.hill.andii@gmail.com with any questions you may have! I'm more than happy to help! :)

That's all for now! Be charming~

PS: I checked my OO waitlist today for shiggles: still over 13k.... wow. At this rate I'd be looking at over a year before I was in!

Product Update: More New Chains and a NEW LOCKET!

So much has been going on with South Hill Designs lately I think I might pass out!!!! Every week corporate is introducing exciting new products and improving on existing ones to make SHD even better than it already is!


Starting off, we have three remanufactured chains, our 32" faceted bead chain in all three finishes! These are great for a delicate look with ANY of our lockets. I especially like them with our medium and minis. :) My own mother has the gold with her medium gold locket and the look is awesome!

32" Faceted Bead chains in all three finishes! US Manufactured!

Next we have our unique layering chain! 

Silver Pearl Layering Chain

Another great delicate chain to create an amazing look with! 

We also have 3 completely new chains in all finishes to announce:

28" Cable Chain!

And most exciting of all:

NEW LOCKET!!!!

I love the look of this locket. We were the first (and only!) to introduce colored crystals into our locket line with our pink crystals and we've done it again with this new midnight crystal locket! I can tell you the pink one is a huge hit and I'm sure this one will be as well! So classy looking! Not to mention, any of our crystal lockets do double duty as standard finish lockets simply by turning them around! 

Now that we've got the updates out of the way, I wanted to let you all know that I may be a little off the grid from time to time over the next few weeks or so. Unfortunately, I am currently on hospital bed rest due to a pregnancy complication and so my plans to hold my launch party and socials and even participate in an event have been put on hold. :( My daughter will be born premature at this point - there is no other option if I don't go into labor between now and 34 weeks, I will be induced. 

That being said, I'm currently holding an online social through my facebook page that will be running until 6/23 to help bring in some extra income while I'm off of work and my husband has to take FMLA to be primary caregiver to our 18 month old. Any order placed on my website or through me via email between now and 6/23 will receive a free charm with their order and be entered in to win a free mini rose gold locket with crystals! And I do mean ANY order. I will ship anywhere. :) 

In addition, any order that contains the purple ribbon will receive an extra free charm. I know it's listed as the pancreatic cancer charm on our site, but the purple ribbon also is used for March of Dimes and I'd love to see you all support them. :) 

Despite being in the hospital, please feel free to contact me through this blog or at my email if you have any questions! I'm quite bored and would love to be able to help you build a locket or start your own future with SHD!!!!
