0 Making Monday 9/22/14 (NO HUSBAND NEEDED, 2014 Gift Guide and Kickstarter - Last Days)

My weekend sale was a great success, so much so that I decided to continue it until Wednesday 9/24, so if you want to catch everything at 30% off, now is the time!!

We also had a wonderful - totally different - weekend than we planned. Aye didn't go to camp - she got sick. Hubby had to work on Sunday and the Art's Market was rained out....but...we still had fun!! The weekend was full of family and beads (since I had more time than expected). So, life goes on!!

I hope that your weekend was wonderful and full of FUN!!

Here is where I start off this morning on my Dragonfly Necklace, this is the back...has to look just as good as the front!! THANKS to Ms. Elfie - Painting from the Heart I have an amazing center to work with!!! You can come on over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page; I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

What colors do you want to see next? Yellow and Black or Teal and Brown?

There are only a couple of days left, but I would still love to get pledges....remember, every $1 helps!!

Although these aren't new listing there wonderful to show off!! First, I have been showing you lots of my NO HUSBAND NEEDED Klasp Helpers, do you know what they are??

Yep, that is right, you can now put on your OWN bracelet or necklace without your hubby around!! These handy little Klasp Helpers are wonderful to look at and perfect to use!! Simply use the alligator clip on the links of the NON CLASP side of your bracelet and hold in your hand as shown. You know have a steady hold on that end, simply pick up the other end and clasp!!

Now do you get it??

Want to see last years? Here you go - http://slipp.it/KraftyMaxOriginals/68265-2013-krafty-max-originals-gift-guide (Just a side note, when it was published it was through 'glossy', they have moved it now to 'slipp.it'.)

Today I would like to leave you with this thought;

If you have knowledge let others light their candles by it!

2 Frivolous Friday 9/19/14 (Heart Road Rash, Pumpkin/Bird/Flower Bracelet and The Next Step)

It is ALMOST the weekend!! Yep, it is!! We are going to be so busy this weekend!! Aye is off to a camp, Monster and I are going with a friend to a local art market and Hubby is staying home and resting up for the next week of work!! :) But, I think it will be a great weekend!!

A couple of days ago Monster fell off his bike - not once but twice - in one day!! That was bad, but then last night as he walked by I looked at his 'road rash' and look what I saw...

I know that the photo may not show what I saw very clearly, but in person it looks like it is in a perfect HEART!! OK, so does this mean my loving boy even gets hurt with his heart....:). He is recovering quickly and doesn't want to show me his 'heart', he says it is HIS only!!! I know he doesn't understand the 'hidden' meaning in all this, but I do. I hope that he always keeps his heart close!!

Last night I finished this great bracelet!! I was able to so a mini photo shoot, edit the photos and get it all listed!! So, what do you think of the finish bracelet??

I also listed more NO HUSBAND NEEDED Klasp Helpers!! Here they are!! If you want to see how to use them click on any of the photos and go see the dscription!!

And what always happens when I finish one creation?? I have to start another!! YEP!! So I picked this amazing - hand painted - wood creation from Ms. Elfie - Painting from the Heart. Not only is the Dragonfly beautiful, it is so very light!! If I didn't already have a PURPLE Dragonfly I would keep this one too, but I think I'll let y'all have it!! You can come on over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page; I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

I know that time is running out and that I will likely not get funded, but I just can't loose hope!! So if you can Pledge even $1 it would be wonderful!!

Want to be in my 2014 Gift Guide? I have some very inexpensive options!! Please, check it out!!

0 What's New Wednesday 9/17/14 (Kimmie's Clay Kreations, 2014 Gift Guide and New Creations)

Yesterday I had big plans of what I was going to get done - I finished MOST of it!! But then the beads took over! There was just to many pretty beads out on my desk to not create!! So, I worked on my tutorial but didn't get it finished, wasn't able to do a mini photo shoot, but I did create a couple of new stranded items....maybe I'll be able to get them listed today or in the morning!! That means that today I'll be doing more of what I was doing yesterday!!

Do you have days like that??

If you have been watching, I have been busy!! I have taken this bracelet from a pile of beads to this design!! You can come on over to my Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page; I post 'working photos' throughout the day!

Many of you have pledged, and for that I am so very grateful!! But, I still need to get the campaign fully funded, or I will not get any of the funding!! So, please Pledge if you can - every $1 helps - and pass it along to your friends, family and anyone who will listed!! THANK YOU!!

Yesterday I introduced you to Ms. Kimmie the owner and designer of Kimmie's Clay Kreations.

Today I get to tell you more about her and her creations!!

Combining her love for Clay and Colors she designed these little creatures called FuzzyKims. She calls them 'cute little whimsical Monsters' and I can't think of a better way to describe them!! Her favorite - and it is easy to see why - is this little Otter!

While she does look at 'real animals' to start the designs she then sketches them out before starting to sculpt. The rest is art making history!! It is very remarkable how she combines all these separate pieces into a finished creation.....just look at how these 'parts' become the witch below!

Then you can turn these FuzzyKims into necklaces, shelf sitters, gift toppers or even cake toppers (yep, my monster's birthday is coming up....ummm)! Come back tomorrow and I'll show you MY favorites!! For now, check out all her sites and remember to tell her how you found out about her!!
