Gem Tree BOOK Update

I wanted to provide a quick update to those that follow my tree making adventures. I have found a book publisher and have contracted with them for self publishing. It appears I still have a lot of work to do, but I’m hopeful that by Christmas my book will be published and available for gift giving. Any instructions that you find here on my blog or any of my other blogs or web site will be included in the book with additional diagrams, pictures and hopefully easier to read instructions. Additional instructions for new designs and shapes have been added as well as ideas on how to use the trees in your home and everyday life.

Don’t forget to leave a comment on my blog for the Gem Tree Giveaway. We have just a little over a week before I announce a winner - Deadline is May 26th.

The Gem Tree Giveaway

WIN BIG * WIN BIG * WIN BIG * WIN BIG * WIN BIG

I always have people interested in my trees, "How do you make them", "My mother would love one of those", "Do you teach classes", etc. Here is your chance to win either a completed tree like the one pictured or a Gem Tree Kit. The kit will contain everything to make the tree including written instructions and all the gems you will need.

"What do I need to do to win one of these prizes"? you ask, Post a comment letting me and the readers know why you would want one of these trees. What draws you to them? For each comment you will get one entry. Comments will be moderated, so no SPAM (selling of any products), or profanity. When posting a comment you will need to let me know how to get a hold of you or you can send me a separate e-mail to let me know your online name so that I can associate you to it. The drawing will be on Memorial Day. I'm sure you are now asking, "Why Memorial Day and not Mother's Day", well I have no good reason, but it is my giveaway and I can pick whatever day I want.

If you would like to check out other pictures of completed gem trees or purchase a kit or completed tree, please see my links and click on Dana's Jewelry Design to visit my web site. You can also contact me by visiting my site and clicking on the Contact Me link.

I'm currently in the process of making trees for competition in June, so if you are the winner of the finished tree you may get an e-mail from me with tree options such as the type of stone and base rock since I make several and choose the best to use for competition. Sorry, if you are not winner, you are welcome to purchase a completed tree or tree kit from my web site or request a special order tree. I welcome all your comments and look forward to reading them. - dana
