I’m back! Thank you so much for the superstar
Tari (she’s rather sassy, doncha know!) for taking over my weekly posts whilst I was away. I had a busy holiday, which included this beautiful wedding…
My brother-in-law and his now wife married on a gorgeous beach just off the coast of Florida, over two weeks ago now. It was a perfect day in every way, the weather was cool enough that we could all enjoy an evening on the beach, watching them begin this new chapter of their lives together. Am I the only one who always wells up a little at weddings?
Anyway, it’s back down to reality now – straight into the holiday season. How many craft events do you have coming up – are you exhibiting, or shopping – or both? I have five events between now and Christmas, and I am pretty sure I don’t have enough stock for even the first event right now….Best get cracking!
To help others in similar situations, I thought I’d find some holiday beads to get started. I thought about holding this theme back until December, when it’s more wintery – but then, it’s almost too late to shop for them, isn’t it? Let’s see what I found from the Art Bead Scene Team….and don’t forget to leave links to your holiday beads and art beady makes in the comments below.

November 10, 2014 at 4:14 pmThose are the snowballs that you make when you really want to have a fight but there isn't much snow, so they get kinda dirty. And rocky. 😀
I have my very first craft show on Dec 6th, just a 4 hour one that is free. Good chance to get my feet wet.

November 11, 2014 at 4:19 pmWelcome back, Miss Rebecca! I love this assortment. Thank you for including me! I guess I put my holiday offerings in at just the right time. 😉 I adore those little house ornaments from Miss Tari and the sweet fox with the scarf. Off to stalk them now! Enjoy the day! Erin
