Kiss & Tell

There are beads in the BEAD BOX! I think you'll enjoy these. I know I like 'em. I just love the colors. These purples and reds just play together so nicely. It is definatly a combo I'll be coming back to again. And just so you know, there are photos where my wonderful rich deep dark red looks kinda orange. Trust me, it's very very red!.

When you are at my website make sure you look close at all my twisties! I am so proud to be making my own now. I know the more I do it, the better it'll get. And let me know what you think of "Candied Cubes". It is a new design and I have something extra special in mind for this style. But if you tell me you hate it, I may skip my special idea, then again, I will probably do it anyway. LOL! Cause I think they are cool. You also see in the slide show above, one bead NOT in the Bead Box. It was a custom order for a large red focal. I made a GIANT red bead swirled in strings of clear and wrapped it up with pure silver. Then it was squished into a flat coin shape, lovely black caps hide the wonky ends and give it a very shape appearance. I am really happy with how it turned out.

So, how do you like this little slide show collegey thingy? I found it via the K-Style blog. She finds the coolest stuff! I love all the great stuff shared at her blog and from what I read, she is going to have a lampwork bead website up and running soon. I can't wait to see what she makes.

In other news... the kids got off to school this morning without a hitch. They were both a little groggy but made it to the end of the driveway in time for the bus. Jacob maybe coming down with something. He was complaining of a scratchy throat. Fingerscrossed it was just the heater running last night. We have been so lucky to have a very healty couple of months. Nothing more the sniffy noses around here.

Oh, almost forgot... this is my piece of pottery from Color Me Mine.



It is going to be my new bead bowl. I need a big one to collect all the bead sets I put together when I am getting ready for a bead box update. I can't wait to go back with my sister and paint a coffee mug :)

Well, the sun is shinning and Lauren wants to head out to the swing set. I guess that means I actually have to get dressed today, lol. I was so hoping for a jammy day, oh well.

Go check out the new free beads!! AND CONGRATS TO HEATHER H! YOO HOO HEATHER!
