 Hello and Welcome! 

My name is Lisa Marie.  I am a fun loving Southern California, USA, native.  I am crazy creative, so you will see a large variety of items for sale from me.  Most items are hand-made, home-made, and unique, "one"-of a kind (I do make multiples), unless otherwise specified.  Some items are just great deals I have gotten through closeouts.  It means everyone wins!

I make jewelry, stained glass, custom decorative objects like bejeweled picture frames, votive holders, drinking glasses, just about any type of medium or object, I can design and customize.  Even if you don't know what you want, you can give me your theme or just some ideas and I can work through concept drawings with you to design something special.

I have created centerpieces for weddings, parties and charity fundraisers.  I have designed entire room decorations and sent directions and suppliers if necessary.  It is the mood that is set by the room (location) that makes the event memorable.  Everything is off the hook creative and unique.  I ship all items with complete instructions on assembly and other neccessities (if needed).  I also include color photos of the steps and final product.  Larger quantities do require longer assembly periods, so please keep this in mind.  Also, wedding season and holidays can be very busy, so plan ahead.  I can accomodate rush orders from time to time, but there is a RUSH order charge (negotiable).

Examples:

• James Bond Theme - centerpiece was a large martini glass (about 14 inches tall), each glass was hand painted with colorful designs, stems coiled with liquid light, glasses filled with water and glowing cubes, dry ice dropped in glass just before guests are let in, to create smoke.  Lights are low so that the glowing light from a "smoking" glass is all that is visable.  This was for a very large fundraiser.  Centerpieces were auctioned off at the end of the night and average $35 per piece (all went to the charity).  
• Night at the Show - this theme harkened back to times when women wore gowns and men wore top hats to attend theatre productions.  Centerpieces were an old fashion velvet hat with a "ticket" to a classic theatre production, i.e. The King and I, Oklahoma, Phatom of the Opera, Cabaret, Cats, and on and on.  Each table was different.  The hat was raised on a mirror, below the mirror were batter powered lights.  Everything on the tables from the napkin rings to the stemware charms were linked thematically to the production on the "theatre ticket."  The room was swagged with satiny curtins with strings of lights to give the feel of the old time theatres.  The tables looked amazing with lights glowing from under the top hats.  The best thing?  Each guest got to take home the stemware charm as a keepsake.  The clients were ecstatic.   
• "Finding Nemo_©"- This was a fundraiser for a Boys & Girls Club.  Client puchased copyrighted Disney items, I created the rest of the themed room.  Balloons and twinkle lights hanging from ceiling to create an under water feeling (especially as they moved with the flow of the air conditioning),  fishnets intertwined with lights covered with glass on all of the tables.  Centerpieces were custom designed fishbowls with glowing fish floating inside.  Stemware charms were different types of sea life.

I advise my clients that the WOW factor creates larger donations (fundraisers), and lasting memories (weddings & parties).  Contact me with ANY idea.  I've yet to be stumped.  I also play close attention in design.  I try not to make objects for centerpieces taller that 14-15 inches so that guests can see each other and not have to talk around a larger centerpiece.  This keeps everybody happy.  I do create larger works for gift tables and corner table decorations.  I can work on almost any reasonable budget (i.e. charities), so don't think that I am too pricey, I design to the budget, so just ask.  I do straight consulting as well, so if you just want to get super creative ideas, but shop the actual project creation, I'm fine with that too.

Pocket Designs By Lisa Marie™ - Have you ever wanted to change a way a room looks or feels but you didn't know how?   Maybe you are a do-it-yourself type, but creativity is not your strong suit.  I consult and design single rooms at way below the Designer prices.

Turn an enclosed sitting room into a beach house hide-away.  Design a retired sailor's study into a nautical dream.  I especially love to design children's rooms.  I can be specific in theme to a general feeling.  It is all up to you.  Harry Potter's Hogwarts dorm room and Disney Princesses have been all the rage in the USA.  Baby nurseries with storytail themes have been popular as well.  I've even created spa like bathroom makeovers.  Who would have thought you could have a "waterfall" shower inside a house?  I am up on the latest products, materials, and creative designs.  You can even take my ideas to your contractor to fulfill.  It is always better to have concrete ideas when your working with contractors.  The "I want it to feel like a xxx?" doesn't work well with them and may cost you much more in the end with less satisfying results.

I have been and eBay seller (USA), (both as an individual and a store seller) for quite a few years now (I have a 100% positive rating there as a Store seller), but they are making selling with them very expensive (12% fee) and ever more restrictive.  I literally stumbled upon eBid by accident.  I am looking to transfer my entire business here, so look for a store coming soon ~ Everything By Lisa Marie.

My mission in life is to help you dream, and I want you to dream big! Live Happy and Live Long.  

Live and Extraordinary Life! 

Much Hapiness and Peace,
