Where are you?

Did you fall off the face of the earth or what?  Well, not exactly.  My time has really been sucked into the show that didn't happen.  Yep, it was canceled.  Why?  I guess 21 inches of snow got in the way.  We were expecting maybe 10 and we got way more.  In this case, more is NOT better.  So, the show was canceled, school has been closed for two days, and I don't think I'll be able to dig my car until next month.  Crazy!

So, I did make lots of pretties for the show which I will now put on the website and the Bei Mondi Etsy shop but I have the chore of taking pictures of all of them.  As you know, sometimes taking pictures and writing descriptions can take longer than making the piece itself.

I've also been playing around some on Etsy and finally got a Treasury in Etsy Treasury West.  Here's the photo and I'll leave the link if you want to check it out on Etsy.

So, now I am back to the grind.  Miss you girls and hope to get caught up soon.  New pictures coming!  Hugs!

Halloween Pic and Etsy Treasury #2

As if I had any free time, right?  But look what I made.  Etsy Treasury #2 for me.  Way behind on checking my favorite blogs.  Hope to get caught up soon.  Where does the time go?

 Nature's Harvest Treasury

Oh, and I can't forget the kiddo.  She made sure to tell everyone while she was trick-or-treating that she is not a butterfly, she is a dark fairy. 

The butterfly, ur I meant dark fairy to the far left with the goofy smile is Lauren.  Lots to tell tomorrow!

*Color with Your Bling, Bling*

Good Monday Morning, blogging buddies!  I hope everyone had a beautiful and restful weekend.  Trying to stay busy here with the creation of Christmas presents, more metal etching, stamping, charm projects, earring exchange.  Well, you get the idea.

 

Here's the latest creation in the shop this week.  And I'm getting more and more creative with the names.  It's called "Color with Your Bling, Bling".  Kinda like sugar with your coffee.  Lots of jewel tones which are a hit right now.  I checked Pantone fall colors and these are right on.  Norma Brink lampwork once again with Bali beads and lots of Swarovski bicones and cubes in colors to match.  Nice heavy piece with lots of shiny bits.  This bracelet is my spotlight item so I'll be giving a 10% off for this week only.  Please check it out at the Bei Mondi store.

I'd like to give a little reminder that Thanksgiving Treasure Earring Exchange packages should mail out in 12 days.  Not much time left so get those earrings finished and out the door.  Oh, and after Oct. 31st, could everyone please send me a picture of your creation along with a little description?  I'd like to post it on the blog for everyone to see the magic.  Whoever has my name can wait a little longer.  I'm sure I'll be posting pictures of my gift as soon as it comes in the mail and then you'll know it's ok to send your pictures in an email to me.  How exciting!  You gals are such a great group of artists and friends that it makes this just too much fun to bear.

I was featured in a Treasury on Etsy for coffee.  I had to send the link since I'm a big, big fan of coffee.  We go way back.  It's a love hate relationship.  I love coffee first thing in the morning and I hate the morning until I've had my coffee.  Here it is!

I can't seem to cut and copy the photo so give it a look when you get a chance.  Thanks again to Bat Chen Designs for featuring me.

You girls know I like to spread the love when I've found a product that I like especially when it's handmade.  Check out Hot Pack Huggies.  Here's a photo of my favorite the sea turtle.

We went to a craft show over the weekend and, after Lauren begged me to buy her one of everything in the place, we finally decided on one of these functional little creatures.  These guys are so cool!  They look and feel like a regular stuffed animal but they contain heat packs in their bellies.  I just take her horse "Spiffy", pop him in the microwave for 2 minutes, and she has a nice warm creature to cuddle up to all night which is a huge help for when the temps get down into the 20's or lower.  The stuffed animal stays warm for about 5 hours under the blankets.  Please check these out if you have little ones!

I'm off to buy new shoes which would be most girls' favorite thing to do besides shopping for jewelry but truthfully I'm not a fan.  I'd rather be shopping for beads.  Hope your Monday is sunny! :)
