The Great Event


Every year, my son's school has a fundraising event they call, The Great Event. This year was the first year in a long time that I did not attend (crazy medical issues and new book coming out and all made it impossible!!) but I did donate an item again to their on-line auction. The above photo is what I donated - it was fun to make. I have a question for you bloggy buddies - should I start offering these sets in my etsy store? I have a few that have already been melted and just need the canape sets to go along with them. I think they are fun - and something different, especially for the wedding season!

Sue, I love these. I've bought a couple of the slumped wine bottles locally as gifts. What I really like about yours are the beaded canape serving ware that goes with them.

See what happens when fire is involved?!! Beautiful things are created! Are you writing a book too, Sue?

I agree, your beads on the servers are what really put this set above others that are available out there. Makes them more specialer. :)

I really like those sets, and I think they would be great offerings for your shop. :)

Is everyone writing a book but ME? I wanna write one 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
