What I've Been Up To...

Sorry for being away so long. I was a bit preoccupied by an exciting event. Here's my very first press release:

5/12/2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Disco Fever – Sparkles of Hope for MS

Independent jewelry designer and owner of Casto Creations, Megan Casto, designs special Sparkling Crystal of Hope bracelet for celebrity charity event.

Olympia, WA May 10, 2006 – Casto Creation’s “Sparkling Crystal Hope” bracelet is chosen by Jewels and Pinstripes as an item for their “Disco Fever to Race MS” event gift bags. Celebrities gather on May 12, at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, for the 13th annual “Race to Erase MS”. This year’s theme is “Disco Fever to Erase MS” and independent jewelry designer Megan Casto designed a special “Sparkling Crystal Hope” bracelet.

Handcrafted, using Swarovski™ crystals and sterling silver, this adjustable length bracelet ends with a sterling silver charm saying “Hope” for the hope that all those diagnosed with MS should have in their lives. While MS is still very much a mysterious disease, The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis raises millions of dollars for research and aid for MS. Research is ongoing and discoveries are made frequently to help unlock the clues as to a cause and a cure.

Celebrities expected to attend and receive this special bracelet at the event include Marcia Cross, Nicole Richie, Tom Arnold, Lara Flynn Boyle, Brooke Burke, Carmen Electra, Daisy Fuentes, Leeza Gibbons, Anne Heche, Jenny McCarthy, Randy Jackson, Bill Maher, Sela Ward, and more. Performances by Kool & the Gang, Sister Sledge, and Natalie Cole.

For additional information contact Megan Casto or visit www.castocreations.com. This special bracelet is available for a limited time. For each bracelet purchased in the month of May 25% of the $125 retail price is donated to The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis. Accent colors available include light pink, tanzanite, and champagne. Bracelet is adjustable to fit 7 to 8 inches with a special sterling silver heart style lobster clasp.

Casto Creations is an independently woman owned business.
