Shining the Light on Brain Injuries
The Shining the Light on Brain Injuries event is the major fundraiser for the Brain Injury Recovery Foundation. This non-profit organization helps provide support to those that have suffered brain or spinal cord injuries as well as their family, friends, and caregivers by providing programs for awareness, care, financial support and more. I am honored to be donating a necklace to be presented to their caregiver of the year.
The Shining the Light on Brain Injuries Event will be held on August 20, 2022 at the Cains Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The event runs from 7p.m.-11 p.m. If you are interested in attending this event or would just like to donate to the Brain Injury Recovery Foundation, please visit their website at www.braininjuryrecoveryfoundation.org.

This amazing organization has four key programs that support women and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The programs are as follows:
Survivor to survivor mentoring and partnering with Imerman Angels
Education and awareness
Emergency non-medical financial assistance with active chemo or radiation
Monthly/Quarterly member group meetings.

Griffin Center Donation Update
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the organizers of the Griffin Center Gala have informed me that their event has been postponed until June 20th, 2020.
I am pleased to still be able to donate a beautiful piece to their event, and here is what the finished product looks like:
This beautiful heart pendant features blue and white topaz stones to represent the center’s colors, and the heart features the Shattered Heart design with a leaf motif, to help represent the positive change the center instills in families lives.
I hope you will consider donating to the Griffin Center or attending their upcoming Gala on June 20th, 2020.
As always…our thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this time, especially our healthcare workers. Everyone stay home, stay safe and we will see you soon!
All the Best!

Happy New Year!
It’s really hard to believe that we have completed another year AND another decade! Where has the time gone?!?
I know for us, 2019 was a year of incredible challenges, but also incredible accomplishments! I’m very excited to see what we will do in 2020!
I want to thank everyone for your support last year! We had 2 amazing shows that exceeded our expectations and we met a lot of new people and made some new friends!
I made a commitment last year to donate more work and help whatever causes I can through Chrissi Harmon Jewelry. The Teen Challenge of Oklahoma is our biggest cause through the Brush Creek Bazaar. This amazing organization helps families that are struggling with a variety of issues. While we were setting up for the show, I was able to talk with some of the kids that this program has helped. The stories were amazing! Every kid was very grateful for the help and support they have received through Teen Challenge, and their lives have changed for the better because of the program. It makes my heart happy to be able to help this group! 15% of our sales from the Brush Creek Bazaar go directly to Teen Challenge, along with our booth fee.
In addition to Teen Challenge, we also helped the Humble Warrior Collective, which is a collective of yoga instructors that donate their time to helping men, women and adolescents in alternative schools, recovery programs, shelters and correctional facilities across Oklahoma through the practice of yoga.
I feel very strongly that giving back to the community is important. My goal for 2020 is to be able to triple our impact in a positive way. If you have an organization that is in need of a silent auction item, please reach out and let me know. As long as I have enough notice to get a piece together for your cause, I am very happy to help!
I am excited by the plans we have in store for 2020! I’m taking more classes to expand my skill set and new work is coming out regularly! I am currently looking to expand our show calendar for 2020, and I’m looking for a late spring/early summer show to set up at. Ideally, I would like to have a spring and a fall show on our calendar, and I’m looking for ideas, so if you have a favorite show you like to attend, please pass it along!
I just want to thank everyone for your support last year! As a small and growing business, it means the world to me when my work is appreciated! I do a happy dance with each little sale and I love creating beautiful pieces of art that can be worn.
Sending everyone peace and love for an incredible New Year!!!
All the Best!
