Today I am proud to show off one of Monster's projects!!  It is 'his life' as he sees it!  He was asked to make a timeline of his 'big moments' in his life!!  Now if you don't know, we live in North Florida and my family all lives in Northern California and/or Middle Nevada!! So, for us our vacations usually revolve around a trip to California.... I didn't realize just how much until we did this timeline!!

* if you notice, one of the photos is even of him trying to mail himself to California...that is very true, he tried!!!

This beautiful necklace is is one of those that is just 'too' spark-lie for it's own good!  This THREE piece set if all Swarovski Crystals.  And just in-case you missed it, I am having a BIG sale!!  So, just look at that price??  Not bad, hu??  But, only until 10/10/13!!

Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions.

4 Tantalizing Tuesday 10/1/13

Yesterday I was a wonderful day - after a bad kick off (play on words intended).  I was able to bead, put my foot up and just enjoy the day!  The weather here has turned cool, which also means that at least SOME of the humility is out of the air!  It was even a little bit breezy yesterday! 

Then I received a comment about one of my creations that startled me and amazed me all at the same time!!  Let me tell you why!  A while back I was in the April/May 2013 issue of BeadWork in 'the challenge' section (you can read about it by clicking HERE). 

 So, when I received this comment on that blog post yesterday -

I finished my project. I do not know I can add her but İf you want to see it is in my blog http://worldofdiamond07.blogspot.com/2013/09/fusya-akik-tas-kolye-yaptm.html I hope you like it.

I wasn't sure what this meant.  But then, I went to her blog!!  WOW!!  She was so inspired by my design that she designed something of her own - 

She shows working photos and I have to say, not only am I flattered by her creation but I am truly amazed!! It turned out so wonderful!!!!  SO, thank you so much World of Diamond's for making such a gorgeous creation and for allowing me to inspire you!!

On a personal note, I have this amazing system that I would like to sell.  It is for a young toddler.  Both my kids had one of these systems.  It is perfect for the younger kids because it is very durable and it also is all about FUN learning.   It is a VTech - VSmile with lots of games (13), the case, the re-chargeable battery kit, and the tv kit. I would like to get $100.00 for this set (that includes shipping to the US). Please let me know if you are interested. (max@kraftymax.com)

Today I would like to leave you with this thought;

The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspirations his life will be.

6 Manic Monday 9/30/13

Today.....well, it is Monday!!  I am usually up are ready very early, but many things happened last night!  The first, we had family game night.... that was really fun - mostly!  I had a coupon for the new Monopoly game - Monopoly EMPIRE.

This is our 4th Monopoly game - I think we like Momopoly!!  But this one is totally different!  It is kind of like a 'speed' version!  We were able to do 3 whole games in about 2 hours - but the problem came into who won!!!  After that there were some 'brussed' feelings!!  Then there was the 'bed time' issues..... needless to say I didn't get to bed on time or in a good mood!  Oh well, at least I get to bead today!!  

Oh ya, there was a good dinner though!!

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

Today I have another wonderful 'large' bead creation!! Do you like this new 'larger and chunky' style??  

I also listed the FLASK as a custom order.  You can design something for yourself or as a gift....just about any design can be created and beaded.

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

This sister's bracelet is coming right along!!  I hope that I will be done with it tomorrow!! So come on over and watch the creation grow on my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day !!

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

And IF you missed it, there is another FUN give away!!  The thing to remember is that there are daily tweet enteries, so make sure you go back each day and tweet!!

Today I would like to leave you with this thought;

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged.  Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
