4 Making Monday 2/2/15 (UniverSoul Circus, Queen Janthia and Valentines Special)

Good Morning!! On Saturday we all went to the UniverSoul Circus and let me just say, it was AMAZING!!  They are a very intro-active circus and there wasn't a time (other than the intermission) during the almost 3.5 hours were were there that the energy level wasn't high!!  The music, the interaction with the audience and the acts....amazing!! Here are some photos I took (the elephant was HUGE and it amazed me).  I was so AMAZED I kept forgetting to take photos!! :)   

Ashley and Boyfriend!

 Making faces at MOM!!

Dad, Monster and Mom

 HUGE Elephant!

Amazing Dancers!

And I know it is hard to see, but there are FOUR motorcycles in that cage!!

6 What's New Wednesday 1/14/15 (Panda Hall, Maria Made it and a Skunk!)

 A little bit ago I told you about a new sponsor I had - Panda Hall.  I received some amazing things from them to try out...and I just love them!!  I already have ideas in my head of what I am going to make!!  Just look at what I received:

Here are some close ups!!  They sent so many things....I will be creating with some of these for a bit!! Just keep watching, I'll keep reminding you WHERE I received these from!!  

 

Look at it....I turned the long strip into a business card holder!!  This is one of those 'FUN' and 'FUNCTIONAL' creations!!  I just love the way it turned out!!  AND, I think I am going to make a matching bracelet!!

And here, is the 'making of' video if you would like to watch it!

With the finish of any creation I get to start a new one! This one is a LARGE Brazilian Agate Slice.  I just love the colors in this slice and if you hold it up you can actually see through some sections!!  I have a vision in mind of this necklace....let's see if I can make it work!! Come over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page  were I post 'working' photos throughout the day!!

Yesterday I introduced you to  Maria Bateson, owner and designer for Maria Made It, and many of you went over and checked out her creations!!  Today I want to tell you a little bit more about her and creations.  This is a wonderful piece of child's artwork that she turned into a necklace!!!

Adding touches of 24c Gold and Crystals to her creations are just one more way she also customized these pieces of art for you. 

I couldn't leave you without showing some of my favorites.....it was hard to choose just 2!!  Please check out her sites (let her know where you heard about her beautiful art) and keep checking back in for more creations!!

0 Making Monday 9/8/14 (Monster, New Listings and The Next Step for Krafty Max)

Is it really Monday?  YEP, it sure is!! This past weekend was raining and peaceful!  As a reward for some great things my son has done lately we did a trip to Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he is still of the age to LOVE that place!! So, while I sat and beaded (I do get some looks) my son ran around and PLAYED!! He had a BLAST!!  Then, before he took his tickets to feed into the machine he presented me with this photo....

....he is such a wonderful boy!! 

Did you or your kids do anything this past weekend that was 'amazing'???

I have several things to show off to you!! First, let me show you today's newest listing.

And then, I'll show you the bracelet I finished over the weekend!! This one is just so cute!!

And here is the 'making of' video if you would like to watch!! 

So, what always happens when I finish one creation??  I get to start another one! I think I am going to stick to the 'fall' theme....so here are the new colors and stones!  Please come on over to my Fan Page or Google+ page, I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

I was lucky enough to have a few more backers over the last few days....but there is still time!  Literally every $1 could mean the difference!  So please, pledge if you can and pass it along is you would!!
