0 What's New Wednesday 4/23/14 (Alhambra Dinner Theater, PARTY and Lilly Beads Designs)

Last night I was able to go to the Alhambra Dinner Theater again with my mom-in-law.  The show was AMAZING, the food was just as WONDERFUL and the company.... the BEST!!  If you have a dinner theater in your town I urge you to go.  I know that we are very lucky to have the Alhambra here, and the staff and owner is simply the best there is.  But for everyone else, getting out for a evening of culture and entertainment is something I think everyone should do. 

And today is the day!! YEP, tonight is the first (hopefully of many) Krafty Max Spring On-Line Party!!!  I am so very excited!! There will be reveals of new creations, prizes (not all jewelry) and games!!!  So come on over if you want/can....you don't have to be there for the WHOLE party, just drop by and say HI!!

Want to come PARTY with us??  Just let me know and I'll 'friend you' and then I can 'invite you' through Face Book. 

More TEASER PHOTOS!! 

Here is a couple of things from my studio - remember, if you want to see some NEW creations, you'll have to be at the PARTY tonight!!!  But here is a couple to hold you over!

Have you been watching this one??  Well, here is where I am starting this morning.... Want to watch me make it?? Come on over on my Fan Page or Google+ page!

2 Talented Tuesday 4/22/14 (PARTY, PINK Quartz, X's and O's and Lilly Beads Designs)

The excitment is building!!!  I can not wait until tomorrow night and the party to begin!! There is still so much to get ready, but I am beading like crazy, putting the games together and getting prizes ready!!  OH, this will be so much fun!!!  Want to join in??  Here are some teaser photos for you to look at.....

Want to come PARTY with us??  Just let me know and I'll 'friend you' and then I can 'invite you' through Face Book.

I have started working on this beautiful pink quartz stone and I have to tell you, I am loving it!!  The only problem I have is that it is VERY slippery!!  So, until I get the frame around both sides it is being a little difficult...but I'll make it work!  Want to watch me make it?? Come on over on my Fan Page or Google+ page!

I have been working on a LOT of new creations, but none that I can show off yet.  They are mostly being saved for the party tomorrow night.  So, I'll show you this on from my La Juliet Studio.  Everything in that studio ships FREE, too!!

And THANK YOU once again to Fashion-Earrings for including me in another beautiful collection.  She had labeled this one 'leaders' and for me, that is an honor!! I have to say, and many of you know, I love Art Fire and am very proud to have a studio there two studios there!!

Tomorrow I'll show off a little bit more of her creations, but for now, check out her link;

6 Thoughtful Thursday 10/3/13

Just look, it is Thursday again!!  How did that happen??  I have been so busy that the days seem to just blend!!  I have to tell you that each morning when I sit down to write this blog it brings my day into perspective.  Last night as I sat and set up the new give-a-way and ended the other one I was really 'thoughtful' about how lucky I am.  I am now doing something that I love and am able to help others, for this I am most thankful to my mother.  She taught me at about age 5 to bead... from there I have been perfecting my skills and learning many other crafts throughout the years.  BUT, my first love has always been beading!!  With that being said, here I go.......

This is another one from my studio.  This great netted necklace can work for any season, but would really work great for fall!

This is a BLACK and WHITE necklace that I am attempting.  I am not sure if this will work the way I am hoping, but I will work on it until it doesn't work!! :)  Come on over and watch the creation grow on my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day !!

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

I was able to pick a winner for the Prima Beads and Krafty Max Original Jewelry FUN 2 - Julie H and start yet another give-a-way.  I have to say thank you once again to Prima Bead's, they have been so great to all of us that are a part of the Prima Blog Team.

I have already received my next month findings.... I can't wait until I can show off some of the things I am making with those!!

Run over and enter as soon as you can and don't forget to keep coming back for the daily entries!!

Just look at this, it is a give-a-way of one of my creations!!! Remember, she did a review a little bit ago?  Well, now she is doing a give-a-way for me too!!

She has just opened a new shop on Etsy, so make sure you go over and see some of her creations!  Also, follow along on her Fan Page - you won't be disappointed!!
