Today I would like to leave you with this thought;

Buy a red umbrella.  It's easier to find among all the black ones, and it adds a little color to rainy days!

This week there has been a great buzz about my MOM bracelet!!  I have really enjoyed watching it grow and seeing every one's reactions!  I find that my creations get some GREAT responses, but every once in a while there is one....and this one seems to be the one!!  So, I just had to get it done last night, and I'll be listing it today, but here is what it looks like - just sitting on my bead tray without a clasp!  What do YOU think??

So, with this one down it will be time to start a new creation....I have another bracelet that I want to do, so that will be next!

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

Yep, I already had the colors and design ready for when the MOM bracelet was finished!!  Here is my new set of colors and you'll be able to watch it 'grow' on on my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day.

Today's featured artist is MagicByLeah.  I don't usually show off two photos from my featured artist, but today I felt like I just had to!! This amazing artist has a WIDE range of creations and styles in her studio!  I just love this pen (you should go and see it in 'parts' in her studio) and at the same time I fell in love with this little fairy baby!  After reading her bio page I found that I also have a lot in common with her.  Here attention to detail and the small scale that she works with simply amazed me!  Go check out her studio and read about her journey! Remember, always support handmade artist - we create because we MUST!
