Beautiful Bead!

I love love love beads, as you may have guessed! I mentioned before I have been playing with beads for forever; my mom loves to tease me about how I like "little" things!

I am so happy I found LeAnn of SummersStudioEtc on etsy. She makes beautiful things in porcelain. I was lucky enough to grab up this beautiful bead she made in a lentil shape. I can only imagine how long it takes to make the bead (2 sides), put the sides together, glaze it, glaze it again, fire it, etc. The colors on this bead are even better in person, and I can't wait to use it! Go ahead and visit LeAnn's store and you'll love her creations too!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
