2 Tradistional Thursday 7/31/14 (M.O.M., $25 Certificate and Elephant's Growing)

What a week this has already been!! I have started a Give-A-Way, started a new bracelet and worked on promoting my Growing Krafty Max - KickStarter Campaign!!  And now, today, I am off to the Better Together MOM Conference! I will still be working on beading while I am there and I'll still be posting photos, but in-between I'll be meeting some amazing mom's and speakers!

For those of you that don't know, I am the PROUD designer and creator of the custom line of Jewelry - JEWELS AROUND MOM'S HEART for The M.O.M. Initiative (https://www.facebook.com/themominitiative).  If you would like to see the line, or purchase anything it benefits a GREAT cause.

 

Although this isn't NEW, it would be wonderful for that 'first day' back to school outfit....and the price...can't be beat!!

Have you been watching the elephants grow?  It is so fun to watch these patterns change with each photo.  I sometimes don't look at the 'big picture' when I am beading, but as I post each photo I SEE it!! :)  Please come on over to my Fan Page or Google+ page, I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

Don't worry, your entries are good on ANY of the forms....

2 Talented Tuesday 7/29/14 (Give-A-Way, Elephant and Better Together - M.O.M.)

Well, it is Tuesday....yep, it sure is!! I have to tell you that as I look at the calendar and all the things we still have to do before school starts I am starting to get a little concerned!! 

Even my calendar is having concerns.....notice anything wrong?  Yep, it was trying to short me one day!! OOOOOOOPS!!

One because of the little bit of time and the other because of how excited I am to have the kids go back to school this year!!  I am not sure if I am being a good mom right now, but I CAN'T WAIT!!!! This summer has been so busy and so chaotic that I haven't been able to do the things I wanted to....so, when school starts, look out world, Krafty Max is on the way!! ;) 

Today I have decided to do a give-a-way.  I haven't done one in such a LONG TIME!!  I am very excited about this!! I hope that everyone enters and SHARES it with everyone else!!  Have FUN!!

Although this isn't a brand new listing, it brings out the FUN in people!!  I just love the way it turned out.  Some have said it looks like flowers, some say like a birds nest and others....just love it!!  What do you think??

And look, it is an elephant!!! Yep, it sure is!!  Please come on over to my Fan Page or Google+ page, I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

For those of you that don't know, I am the PROUD designer and creator of the custom line of Jewelry - JEWELS AROUND MOM'S HEART for The M.O.M.

2 Manic Monday 5/13/13

What a weekend it was!!!  There was a wedding..... mothers day..... and lots of family time!!  What a great weekend!  Oh ya, there was a lot of beading too!! 

Some of you saw the wonderful post by The M.O.M. Initiative.  They officially introduced the Jewels Around Mom's Heart line and got everything rolling!! I know I've talked a lot about the line over the last week, but I am just so proud of this venture!!  Not only did I get to create this great line, I get to custom make them for each one of the Mom's that order them, and then, I get to help support the great cause that The M.O.M. Initiative is also supporting.  To me, it is a win, win, WIN - all around!!  If you can, go read about the new line in their blog post - The M.O.M. Initiative - and you might just find yourself reading more and more!!

 Just in case you missed the 'final view' of my SNAKE necklace, here it is!!  I would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to  MayBeads for creating these amazing little glass beads for me.  The SNAKES are so full of personality and fun!!  Please go see what other wonderful and amazing creations she has and watch for more creations with  MayBeads in them!!!!

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

Although I have been working on this one for a few days, it is finally coming together!!  If you would like, you can watch my current project grow on my Fan Page or Google+ page.

Today is the last day - receive 22% off any purchase in my studio of $25 or more.

Today's featured artist is morebutton.   Buttons, Buttons, BUTTONS!!!  Who doesn't love buttons??  I have found that even if you don't use them - most people (men and women both) have buttons stashed away!!  I am not sure what it is about Buttons, but we all love them.  When you look around this studio you'll see some basic buttons and some that are just simply amazing!!!!  Please go have a look!!
