Another Bead Fest Preview!

If I had enough time, I'd be listing some of these in etsy - it's just that every single minute is taken by either making beads for Bead Fest, or getting my daughter ready for college!  She moves in on the 19th!  It's so hard to believe.  Anyways, here's a photo of some metallic disc beads I made which will make their preview at Bead Fest - Booth #463 - come see me!

Pretty, rustic, oil-slick colors!  Hope you stop by and say hi!

We are both on the same timeline, Natalie will be heading to college the day I am leaving for bead fest. Since she is on campus but still local I will be OK with dad dropping her off. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Have fun!

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
