Something great is coming your way

Greetings! I'm super excited today because I got something very fun in the mail yesterday. It may not look like much, but it contains some very special items.


My order from Artbeads.com came in, and you know what that means? It means it's time to do some Christmas jewelry making! I have some fun things planned including opening up a little on-line store for anyone who would like to purchase some hand-made items this year, so stay tuned!

Since we're talking about Christmas gifts, how about I show you this super fun snowman gift bag. All he needs is a little something special to put inside, and he's ready to go!


Supplies: Basic Black, Whisper White & Pumpkin Pie cardstock; Dazzling Diamonds glitter; White Stampin' Emboss Powder; 1-3/8, 1-1/4, & 3/4 punches; White Signo Gel Pen; Small flowers from the Pretties Kit colored Real Red; All Holidays stamp set; small gift bag

I also went to JoAnns last Friday and stumbled into a bit of good luck. To my surprise, they had the new Studio G items! I picked up a few of the very last remaining Christmas dollar stamps (series 22) as well as this new Glitter Glue. If you're familiar with Stickles, then these are the same thing except bought at a fraction of the price! I know there's one more color (purple), but there were none left. Next time!


I'll be gone all day at an SU meeting. Have fun creating today!

PS - I have to tell all of you that my friend, Anne Marie, rocks! She has some great Christmas ideas on her blog, and she even has some tutorials! If you get a chance, go check her out and leave her some lovin' because she's a lovin' type of gal!

How cool - can't wait to see what you make with all the beads. And what a great gift bag - just put some of your handcrafted jewelry in it and send it my way. :)

I'll have to stop at Jo's tomorrow on my way to the salon and see if they have the glitter. Thanks for the heads-up!
