Sue Beads

I have been meaning to blog about this for a while; the engineer was able to take this great photo for me to show you what I won from Gaea - she had a one world, one heart giveaway on her blog for a grab bag of her ceramic pendants, and this is what she sent! I know, there's not 10 there - I shared a few of them! I feel so lucky to have won this giveaway - I have been admiring her work for a while, and recently found her blog and her 0n-line store, Gaea . She makes the most wonderful ceramic pendants, but I really love her calaveras (sugar skulls). They are so colorful and fun! Check out her work, it's great. Thanks again, Gaea!

I didn't mention it yet, because I wanted to have permission from Melissa Lee, but I won one of the giveaways on her blog Strands of Beads - it was her son's birthday, and he picked me to win the Geek Love pendant you see above! Melissa makes all kinds of fantastic jewelry and she also makes silver pendants. I had even showed my geek boyfriend this pendant, because it spells LOVE in ASCII and well, that's something geeks are into. You can visit her etsy store here . She has some other fantastic pendants - my favorites (besides Geek Love!) are Dragon Heart and Evergreen. And thanks so much Melissa, and her son! I happen to have a giveaway coming up on the Delightful Divas in Business blog, which I will post when they publish it - probably tomorrow.
