I am BACK!!  Yep, the holiday is over and I am back at the bead tray again....thank goodness!!! I never thought I would miss beading, talking to all of you and just 'relaxing' for the day!!  But, the house is clean, the festivities are planned for the 1st (if you want to be on the 'pre-release list, leave me your email address) and I am ready to bead!!  

There are so many new and exciting things coming to Krafty Max Originals with the new year, I hope that you are all here to see it!!  

I did a lot over the holiday and weeks before....but I wasn't able to show you because they were gifts!!  Here is one of the bigger projects.....this was for a group of sisters and sister-in-laws!!  Each background color was chosen for them....and of course they have the names on them!!   What do you think??

This lady is a wonderful artist....oh, did I mention that the ACEO is an ORIGINAL and she isn't making prints with it.....oh my, talk about an honor!!!  Just look at them!!!

And on top of that.....my father had told me about that folklore story all my life!! I know it well, so this has even more meaning to me!!!

Today I am honored to introduce you to a friend and fellow artist; Ms. Gail Pither the owner/designer at CrossStitchCards.  This amazing artist started doing Cross stitch about 12 years ago.  It all started with a design out of a magazine, and then..... she fell in love with Cross Stitch!  I personally have given many of her cards out and it is easy to see the joy that people get when they open that envelope and see those cards (my mom frames them and puts them on her wall)!! 

Now she deigns her own patterns (and sell them too) to create her beautiful cards, wall hangings and bookmarks.  The way she finished her cards just adds to the beautiful stitching that she does!!  

Here are just a few of her designs, come back tomorrow and I'll tell you more about her creations and shy I love them so much!! :)
