2 Making Monday 11/10/14 (Pink Dragonfly, Red Cameo and a Give-A-Way)

What a weekend we had!!  And, for us, it is not really over.  The kids don't go back to school until Wednesday, so for us, it is still FUN TIME!!!

I have had so much going on for the past few months it was nice to actually 'take a day off'.   There are many times over the weekend that I am so busy that I don't get time to do anything!! For me it is the time to catch up on the housework, laundry, any errands that I have and such.  Even though I am home during the week I have to use that time for beading.  Most people don't realize this (other artists/crafters in this position will) but for me this is just like a full time job.  There is a 'clock in' time to start beading, a lunch break and a 'clock out' time.  Yes, they are more flexible than most jobs, but I have to be able to bead, do computer work and such each day or my business suffers.  And for those of you who might not know, I am a full fledged business.  I pay taxes, have a bank account and business license!!  I haven't been able to make a million dollars yet, but I am getting there! ;)  ha ha ha ha !! 

Here are a couple of things from my studio..... and YES, I have extended the SALE!  I thought I would carry it through Veteran's Day, so I did!! You can save 30% off anything in my studio, and that includes these!!

Did you see the Dragonfly Sun-catcher finished??? I haven't been able to get photos of it yet, but I did get a 'working photo' of it finished....what do you think??

So, that means that today I get to start another creation!!! YEP!! I picked this red cameo out of my Grandmother's stash and I have to say, it is very beautiful in person!!  I do NOT know how old it is or why type of stone it is, but I just love it!!!  So, if you want to, you can come on over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page; I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

I have to say, I am blown away at how few entries I have!!!  Remember, there are daily entries for those of you who are trying for this earring set!!
