0 Wonderful Wednesday 4/11/12

So I promised I would show off more photos from our Easter weekend... here we go!

These are the beautiful flowers that my wonderful Hubby got me... yes, they are a few days old, but they are still BEAUTIFUL!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And here is my newest creation. This is another one from my Grandmothers Stash..... I have to say, it is so inspirational to look through some of her stash. There are so many beautiful colors and designs. This one was a broken pin that is very old. I really don't know the exact age, but by the design and detail you can tell it is probably 40+ years old. I pared it with some RED SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS and had fun! Click on the photo to go see it in other views.

Only a few hours left....to enter... you could still win!!!

Today's featured artist is StacyBayless. This great mother of 3 makes some of the cutest creations I have seen! There are 'little outfits' or just a 'fluffy' here and there! She is supported by her hubby and just loves what she does. She thrives on the great reviews and photos of little one in her creations! Please visit her studio and remember to support handmade artists whenever you can!

As a closing thought, I would like to leave you with this -

Love does not analyze its object.

2 Terrific Tuesday 4/10/12

Well, it is Tuesday - A TERRIFIC one!! Yesterday I received MORE boxed of my grandmother's stash.....it was like my birthday and Christmas all wrapped in one! I can't wait to separate all of it and make EVEN more beautiful creations with things I find in there. Also, I'll be starting - soon I hope - to list things I wont use in my DESTASH studio! Oh, what fun!!!

Here is my new listing for today, it is from the last stash I was sent.... it makes creating so easy when you have so much inspiration to choose from!!

Purple Shell and Dyed Jade Delight Necklace Set

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This beautiful Dragonfly was created by Kimis-Jewelry-From-The-Heart. I have to saw that I was so impressed with her studio! This wonderful artist is helped by Sweetie & Goobers (you'll have to go read her bio to know who they are) on each of her creations. I have to say, it was really hard to choose just one to feature!! Please go check out her studio and beautiful works of art, you will be amazed. Remember to support handmade artists, they put so much love and time into each creation!

For my closing thought I would like to dedicate this to someone dear to me (SH) and to all of those who have a ever shared their kindness with others.

I wonder why it is that we are not all kinder to each other than we are. How much the world needs it! How easy it is done.

0 Marvelous Monday 4/9/12

After making my big announcement on Friday (you didn't see it? You can read more about it HERE) I have been thinking of how to make some changes that will give me more time to bead, market and enjoy Krafty Max Originals. With MUCH contemplation I have decided to keep things the way they are - for now. I am going to try to maintain this blog and my bead work as I have over the past few years. All I am asking is that you be a little patient with me, there maybe days that I need to make my posts short... today isn't one of those! :)

First I would like to show off some photos... yes, yesterday was a 'dress up day' for us. It was wonderful! Here are some of the family.... I am so very blessed!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was able to get some beading in over the weekend, here is today's new listing.

The Simplicity of a Green Leaf Necklace Set

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I want to feature VinylGraffiti. This great studio offers some saying that are just tooo cute. They can also do custom orders, so the designs are limitless. I just love this one, it is so appropriate! Go check them out and I am sure you'll find something that you can connect with.

Don't forget, only a couple of days left to win.... you can enter everyday!!!

And yes, there is more, but I have to save something for tomorrow!! As a closing thought, I picked this one:

May your home be filled with peace, and your heart with hopeful cheer, may your happiness increase with each bright succeeding year.
