2012 was an amazing year for Stick Me Designs. Not only did I quit my 8-5  j-o-b to run SMD full time I also am going to school to become a licensed Esthetician to better understand how professional skin care can change how we age and take care of ourselves.  So far it’s has been a year full of uphill battles and downward slides (in a good way

All in all it’s been a great year, and not only has SMD started more conversations than ever, we’ve done so in all but 4 US States and in 5 countries and counting! We’re growing and it’s all because you all are talking and telling others about diabetes through using our gear and staying on top of testing and monitoring! So Yay You!!

As 2013 kicks off we’re excited to bring in new designs, new awareness jewelry and more conversation starters.  The more people talk, the more people know and that’s a beautiful thing.

I’d like to invite you to come join our conversation on Facebook, or be a part of our Newsletter. As members of these elite

Zebra & Strap

communities you get privileged access to our diabetes bags, jewelry and gear at private pricing and you get insider details before our general visitors…not too shabby.

So if this is your first time here or finding us…Welcome, if you’re just stopping in for a check in…Thank you…Here’s to a wonderful 2013!!

It has always been my mission to bring not only function to diabetes accessories but always style to boot. But I never wanted to stop at just bags…I wanted to give the community options to make every accessory their own. Now almost 5 years later I’m happy with the direction our accessories are moving into. With diabetes awareness bracelets, carrying cases of so many varying sizes and configurations it’s what I’ve wanted for pwd since I launched in 2007.

Here are just some of the newest pieces we’ve added…join our Newsletter for private pricing deals and heads up on our newest collections.

Thank you for reading and as always let me hear your input!

Wristlet Refresh & Sparkle On

Sparkle On Clutch

Wristlet Refresh

Oooh don’t you just love when new goodies come out? You get more fabulous options for your supplies, and even more choices to compliment your life without hindering your style. Yup that’s what we’re all about around here. We want you to test often, and manage well, but we absolutely want you to look crazy beautifulsome while you’re doing it.

That’s why we try to stay plugged into what you all want and need…and simply Give You What You Ask For!

We love doing it and we think it’s what helps us be better for you. So without giving away too much, our 2 new designs coming will serve 2 different lifestyles, but you may just want both of them, because we get it your daily lifestyle needs change and your accessories should too.
But if you’re on our List you’ll know all about that. So if you’re not you can click here…and get on it.

Also we had some new Tuff Clutch and Tuff Band designs emerge too, we’ll leave you with some.

Not the beaded crystal jewelry wearing type? No worries, we have some ideas that you may enjoy. Our newly updated Tuff Gear Collection includes 2 designs of Tuff Bands with a couple more coming in the next week or so. With all the new additions coming you may be wondering…how do I keep up Rickina? Well you can through a couple of ways, our Newsletter or on our Facebook fanpage.

If you’re a more rugged gear type, or if your little one is well…tough on their stuff. A Tuff Band is the solution you’re looking for. Durable, strong and customized to your color choices you’ll absolutely wear them and still show your awareness.  They also come standard with a stainless steel shakle buckle…but if you’re partial to the sturdy nylon buckle in your choice of colors, you can still opt for that too.

Visited our website and missed seeing our best selling wristlet? I miss seeing it too…but not to worry. The next collection will be available in the next few weeks. Our newly voted on and selected fabrics courtesy of you all, are arriving at our contractors location, and are getting started.

This Fall season the wristlets will make their debut again, while the deluxe clutch will launch later in the season.

But because we want to be The destination for all your functional, style-forward diabetes bags, clutches, and awareness jewelry and tees, we’re already working on 2 new carry designs inspired by You, our customers, fans, followers and friends. If you know anything on how we debut new designs we do that through our Newsletter or the Facebook fanpage, so if you love hearing the news before thousands of others do…Get on the list.

Oh and hey have you seen our Tuff Clutch yet? Quickly becoming a favorite, constructed of heavy seatbelt webbing, and monster sized zipper, it’s strong, durable and looks ready to take on your daily diabetes grind. Each Tuff Clutch can be customized with your choice of up to 4 different webbing colors! My husband absolutely loves this bag, and he’s a hard-to-impress kinda guy. So tell me what you think….

Also in September, we’ll be attending a trade show in hopes to connect and build relationships with hundreds of pharmacies across the US, to help bring our accessories to more of the community so you can see, feel, and experience them before you buy.

If you’d like to see our accessories in your pharmacy, please ask for Stick Me Designs diabetes accessories to the manager or owner. Then let us know you asked them, if we get our products in that location receive a FREE accessory of your choice!  Contact Us for more details.

Wow the Facebook fan page is a buzz with talks of new design ideas, and updates. And we’ve also narrowed down our next collection fabrics courtesy of our awesome friends, fans, followers and customers. You all are amazing and continue to surprise me with your lovely choices. So on this Happy Blue Friday, let’s roll out the next fabrics for our upcoming collection!

& the Limited Edition Canary Grey

And Skate Life & Summer Whales

We’re also working on some new designs for grown up dudes too! Great designs for the guys guy too! Think seatbelt webbing, and awesome!

What do you think?

What if a cool t-shirt donated $5 to the Diabetes Charity or Organization that you chose? Granted….our new Diabetes Blue Ring Tees are here for a limited time, and they do just that. Our Blue Ring Tees will be available in white and black and in adult and kid sizes by next week.  Handmade to order, and washable they’re perfect for awareness and conversation starting.

We’ve also added diabetes keyfobs and keychain tags. Not the jewelry wearing type, no worries you

can still make others aware by grabbing a keyfob or keychain tag. Customized for what you want to say, they’re great on backpacks, rear view mirrors, or on your keychain.

It’s that time of year again…when things heat up outside and everyone is scrambling for activities to do to stay cool. Well I can think of one you should participate in….

Hey you’re good…it’s vote for the upcoming collection time again. We do this a few times a year and let our customers, fans, followers and visitors vote for the next collection designs that will be produced for Stick Me Designs.

Why do we do this you ask? Well that’s easy…because we/I am all about giving the diabetes community at large exactly what they want in diabetes accessories, diabetes bags and stylish cases. I might be on a peach and blue trip…while you all may be likin’ gold and green…soo we solve it by letting you all dictate which fabrics make it.

Please comment below with the number(s) that you like, and we’ll tally all the counts and decide which top choices make it!

Oh and feel free to let other peeps know about your faves…more comments…better chances of survival into the next collection! Yay!

Phew…ok, let’s hear it!

Don’t you feel special when you get exclusive access to something not everyone does? I LOVE it. I mean who doesn’t like to feel like they’re getting into something that is secret and private? Maybe it’s my inquisitive child inside, but I love it. Enter ‘Krymson’ our newest addition, a collection of Diabetes Handbags

So in case you didn’t know, I’m working on several new additions and changing some things around these days, and one of them is the introduction of our Handbag collection ‘Krymson’. While the collection may not be for everyone, it is for you if you want a beautifully styled utility style bag that can hold ALL of your daily stuff…including your d-supplies. This diabetes handbag collection will be durable, strong yet beautiful and stylish.  Priced a bit higher than our clutches and wristlets, it will be the bag you go to when you need to carry larger wallets, more stuff, your tablets, supplies, even an extra pair of flat shoes..(cause you never know when the feet will need a break

In the design phase now I hope to have pieces available just in time for the holidays. Another new addition is the adding of a Mini-BP..small back pack. Perfect if you need a hands free way to keep your supplies, but don’t want an over the shoulder bag. Or if you happen to just like back packs the Mini BP will do the trick. Still in prototype phase, we’re hoping to roll this one out by 2013.

But back to the exclusive access peek at the first bag from Krymson…I made a video showcasing my very rough sample…if you wanna see it, you can request a private showing. Now mind you…this is a very rough peek…the final product will be smashing…but my sewing/gluing skills not so much, so keep that in mind Request your invite HERE!
