Etched Beads

Hello everyone,

It's been ages since I wrote on my blog, I know. Same thing with listing new beads. I've had a lot to do before and after Christmas and haven't made much beads. By the way, I wish everybody a wonderful New Year! Lots of love, peace and happiness and everything your heart desires. :)

One think that I made a while before Christmas, was a large bunch of etched beads. But I never had the time to list them. Well, here they are. I hope you can find some you like. Here is a picture of the different colors I have listed in my Etsy shop:

Getting really close to Christmas

It's December already! Can you believe it? Are you ready for Christmas yet? Guess what... I'm not... of course. But I am in the mood. :) So let's take a deep breath, feel the crisp air (it's raining today making all our beautiul snow melt away... but I'm not worried, we will get our fair share as usual this winter.) and roll our sleeves to get ready for the celebrations.

For all this month, shipping will be free on all the beads in my Etsy shop. So, buy all you want and you won't have to worry about shipping... at least... :)

Cheers,
Marie

Back at last

No I wasn't gone on another planet, I was just a looooong time away from my blog. Although sometimes I felt I was on another planet. I've had a hard time getting back to business and to «normal» life after this summer. Ellie was at home most of the time. I thought I could find time to work while she was here instead of day camp but I couldn't. She hates day camp and it was becoming a nightmare just preparing her to go in the mornings, so I told her we would try for this summer to keep her home while still working on my business. But I couldn't get organized or find 2 full hours to work in the day. As a result business was really slow and I got a bit discouraged.

I think I am getting back in the swing of things now so I will have new beads in the days to come. I did list some nice clearance beads in my Etsy shop so you can go have a look. You could find some pretty beads for a lower price.

Cheers,
Marie

Win Some Beads

Hey guys,

It's the last day of the Giveway. Don't forget you have a chance (and a really good chance) to win some of my beads or jewelry, along with tons of other wonderful handmade items. And it's even easier to qualify now. Chantilly has changed the rules slightly, and you don't have to leave a comment on each blog, just visit them and tell her which sponsors you can't get enough of. It's easy and it's fun. :)

Don't wait too long, it ends at 5pm Eastern time.

Good luck!

Great Giveway!

Hey everyone, come on over to My Girl Thursday for a great giveway! Not only have you a chance to win a pendant with silver chain from me or $30. worth of beads (your choice) in my Etsy shop, but you could also win 11 more beautiful handmade items from different artists!




It's so much fun to participate. Believe me, I won My Girl Thursday's June Giveway! I know, shame on me I didn't even tell you... I had this plan to reunite all the goodies, take a picture and blog about it, but we just couldn't wait and already used some of them before they all arrived.

To win, all we had to do was to leave a nice message to all the donators and a little message to Chantilly of My Girl Thursday (she is so sweet and has a great blog). So Ellie (my almost 8 years old girl) and I took a little time to visit all the blogs and look at the shops. We had a great time doing it. The drawing was at 5pm that same day and Ellie couldn't wait to see if we had won, but we had friends that night so she didn't have the news that we did until the morning after. She was so excited, she just couldn't believe me and wanted proof!!! :) In the days after, the little packages started coming. I would wait until Ellie came back from school so she could have the pleasure of opening the packages and discovering the beautiful gifts, the cards, papers and cool packaging. Imagine 11 and more unique creations! And you could win 12 in the July Giveway. So go over there and have some fun!

Good luck to all.
