A tribute to colorful Czech glass beads...

I got the beads from Happy Mango Beads, how appropriate!
This set will be donated to raise money for the fight against Juvenile Diabetes.

AJE Earring Challenge

I was so looking to jump start my creativity in 2013 and I found it.

The Art Jewelry Element Earring Challenge!

This challenge has me searching through my hoard of beads for AJEs made by various artisans, and I have more on order as well.. making their way to me. The challenge also has me trying to figure out Pinterest! Not quite sure I got that quite right yet, but I am working on it. 

Stop by on January 20 as the first round of AJE earrings and check out some great earrings posted by fellow beaders at AJE on Pinterest.

In 2013 I wish you ...

New Year Wishes

Smoky Quartz to dispel all negative energy and depression, leave that behind with 2012!

Turquoise to attract prosperity and success, while enhancing your creativity and communication skills... more blog posts everyone!

Tiger Eye for good fortune and protection from 'Evil Eyes'!

May all your wishes come true this year!

A Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a joyful year, with peace, happiness and love!

... and happy beading too!
