Beads


I'll have some new beads in the etsy store tomorrow - I am kind of caught up in the Haiti disaster - and my other job - and the engineer is hopefully going to process my pics tonight. I have to say, it feels so trivial to be telling you about beads when the people in Haiti don't even have water. I guess life has to go on - an existential viewpoint, for sure, but a universal truth, as well. Please see my beads in my etsy store and watch for some new ones tomorrow!

Life does go on. Just know there are some great people out there helping out. I have faith that my church was one of the first to get there, they usually are, we are prepared for that and I think it is wonderful!! {I am not bragging just letting you know} They have a special fund we can donate to every Sunday and so we bring in funds all year just for such an occasion. When I first joined this church I was literally amazed at how well organized they are just for such things. They were the first there when the Tsunami hit a few years ago. I love my church.

Thanks for caring so much!!

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
