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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt; so you can go have a look. You could find some pretty beads for a lower price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;Marie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4214870777807541689-7140153016706199345?l=bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/feeds/7140153016706199345/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-at-last.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/7140153016706199345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/7140153016706199345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-at-last.html' title='Back at last'/><author><name>Bleu Verre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03333301519422933266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214870777807541689.post-749535208590419114</id><published>2010-07-08T11:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-08T12:05:48.280-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Win Some Beads</title><content type='html'>Hey guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the last day of the &lt;a href="http://www.mygirlthursday.com/2010/06/july-sponsor-giveaway.html"&gt;Giveway&lt;/a&gt;.

Not only have you a chance to win a pendant with silver chain from me or $30. worth of beads (your choice) in my &lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt;, but you could also win 11 more beautiful handmade items from different artists!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/TCzBPB987aI/AAAAAAAAAI0/tzNRwf-LXPo/s1600/pendant.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488974509828271522" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/TCzBPB987aI/AAAAAAAAAI0/tzNRwf-LXPo/s320/pendant.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's so much fun to participate. Believe me, I won &lt;a href="http://www.mygirlthursday.com/2010/05/giveaway-june-sponsors.html"&gt;My Girl Thursday's June Giveway&lt;/a&gt;! 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To win, all we had to do was to leave a nice message to all the donators and a little message to Chantilly of &lt;a href="http://www.mygirlthursday.com/"&gt;My Girl Thursday&lt;/a&gt; (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.

So, if you see something you like, tell me so in the comments section below this post, or send me an email at: &lt;a href="mailto:bleuverre@videotron.ca"&gt;bleuverre@videotron.ca&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I call these beads «clearance beads» because some are not as perfect as I would like them to be. Some have tiny bubbles in the encasing or the clear raised dots, or the dots are not perfectly placed. Sometimes their only problem is that they are not the same size as the other beads in the set they were destined to be. So they end up in the clearance group in hopes to find somebody to love them as much or maybe even more then their «perfect» counterparts. And yes, they are cheeper. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glVe9GcTI/AAAAAAAAAG4/ikCoEpoqwFE/s1600-h/img108.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451648399948804402" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glVe9GcTI/AAAAAAAAAG4/ikCoEpoqwFE/s320/img108.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set 1: Turquoise, Purple and Green, 4 round beads, 8-11 x 11-12mm and 1 squeezed bead13 x 15mm - $12.00US &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;SOLD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glVBq6LvI/AAAAAAAAAGw/eO4abCX6QE8/s1600-h/img109.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451648392087875314" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glVBq6LvI/AAAAAAAAAGw/eO4abCX6QE8/s320/img109.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set 2: Turquoise and Brown, 5 round beads, 9-11 x 12-13mm - $12.00US &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;SOLD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glUpRYtxI/AAAAAAAAAGo/U3ZUTOahsqc/s1600-h/img110.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451648385538373394" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glUpRYtxI/AAAAAAAAAGo/U3ZUTOahsqc/s320/img110.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set 3: Green and Violet, 5 round beads, 9-10 x 11-12mm - $12.00US &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;SOLD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glUepip-I/AAAAAAAAAGg/cshoQf5drcs/s1600-h/img111.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451648382686898146" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glUepip-I/AAAAAAAAAGg/cshoQf5drcs/s320/img111.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set 4: Black and Lavender (it looks gray on this picture, but it IS lavender), 3 round beads, 8-9 x 11-12mm - $8.00US. &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;SOLD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will mark each set as sold whenever it is called for.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have fun shopping. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4214870777807541689-2145460340052537706?l=bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/feeds/2145460340052537706/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2010/03/clearance-beads.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/2145460340052537706'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/2145460340052537706'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2010/03/clearance-beads.html' title='Clearance beads'/><author><name>Bleu Verre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03333301519422933266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S6glVe9GcTI/AAAAAAAAAG4/ikCoEpoqwFE/s72-c/img108.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214870777807541689.post-7233230690418601655</id><published>2010-03-21T11:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-21T11:27:25.673-07:00</updated><title type='text'>1000 Sales</title><content type='html'>I am 5 sales away from my 1000th sale on &lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt;.

My etching solution is in its last miles, so the etching was rather light. But I like the effect (the beads still reflect light in tiny flecks). However, if you prefer them to be more velvety, I can plunge them in the infamous liquid a little more. :) Just tell me your preference. Here are a few sets I listed (I also have them in pairs):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436720875266930562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S3Mc1ME8d4I/AAAAAAAAAGI/H-lQodnBbWs/s320/etsy134ivory_raku_etched.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436720886094167906" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S3Mc10aW_2I/AAAAAAAAAGY/F8h6sXY6cf4/s320/etsy134black_raku_etched.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436720884351351570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S3Mc1t61uxI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/yDkg4jS4l_E/s320/etsy134green_raku_etched.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436720869172907714" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S3Mc01YBDsI/AAAAAAAAAGA/cZISotCDuSc/s320/etsy134turq_raku_etched.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, and I almost forgot, I listed new sets of beads in my &lt;a href="http://www.bleuverre.com/specials.html"&gt;specials page&lt;/a&gt; on my website.

My daughter Ellie is sick. A winter related thing (well it usually happens in winter,... many times in the course of one in our case). Don't know which virus or bacteria, but it should go away with time or with antibiotics... we will see about that today at the doctor's office. Can't work much with a sick and miserable child in the house needing me day and night. I shouldn't complain though, first of all I'm not the miserable poor darling with fever and a runny nose, but also, we haven't been affected so much this year with all the sinusitis, bronchitis and all the likes. But, the winter is not finished yet, so I have my fingers crossed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've managed to finish a set and matching pairs of beads and spacers that I listed on &lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt;. And I assembled a few sets of clearance beads that I listed in my &lt;a href="http://www.bleuverre.com/specials.html"&gt;specials page&lt;/a&gt;, so have a look at them if you want. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here is a glimpse of the colors I used on the sets on Etsy:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429304871082661234" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S1jEA7ouFXI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/Yyds8hvdQPQ/s320/etsy131green_purple_metal.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4214870777807541689-3306692751897754534?l=bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/feeds/3306692751897754534/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-beads-finally.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/3306692751897754534'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/3306692751897754534'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-beads-finally.html' title='New beads finally'/><author><name>Bleu Verre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03333301519422933266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/S1jEA7ouFXI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/Yyds8hvdQPQ/s72-c/etsy131green_purple_metal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214870777807541689.post-2078296575801837564</id><published>2010-01-07T11:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-07T11:46:13.953-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Year</title><content type='html'>I think it's still time to wish everyone a wonderful new year. :) May 2010 bring you joy, happiness, health, peace and many new and exciting projects to realize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, for my part, everyone in the family is healthy (thank goodness) and my little Ellie is doing great. We had a big scare with her in the last couple of months when we learned that she couldn't hear at all from her left ear. That was hard enough to take, but the worst part was waiting for the results of tests that would indicate if her right hear would deteriorate or not in the years to come. Turns out her right ear is perfectly normal and she can go on with her life without the fear of going deaf from that ear also. Mama is very relieved.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And Mama is back at the torch, finally. The oxygen concentrator is roaring again (literally... it's quite noisy actually) and I just listed new beads on &lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt;.

I should have it back soon, so new beads will come eventually. I can't wait! I haven't touched my torch in about 3 weeks (really bad timing with Christmas coming). But I keep occupied.

Boy, do kids keep us occupied. :) But, today is the first day of school, and we are both ecstatic. She gets to take the bus again, start a new year (she loves shool) and see all her friends again. I get to work full time on my beadmaking again and I couldn't wait. :) So to celebrate and also make place for new beads, I offer a 25% discount on all the items in my &lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt;.

I can fool myself into being 10 years younger. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a few beads listed on &lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt; today. Some Summer beads, because I don't want to go into Autumn too fast, and some Autumn beads, because it's just around the corner.

I'm working on convincing him. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361340330681161602" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmdOoAo514I/AAAAAAAAABU/90A3fDZkBXc/s320/etsy114sand_sea.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361340337347912674" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmdOoZeYY-I/AAAAAAAAABc/lV2_FBdYMsw/s320/etsy114sand_sea_pair.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361340338806153458" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmdOoe6DYPI/AAAAAAAAABk/bDQzSYo-u_4/s320/etsy114sand_sea_spacers.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4214870777807541689-6325364586122481563?l=bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/feeds/6325364586122481563/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/07/sand-and-sea.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/6325364586122481563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/6325364586122481563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/07/sand-and-sea.html' title='Sand and Sea'/><author><name>Bleu Verre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03333301519422933266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmdOoAo514I/AAAAAAAAABU/90A3fDZkBXc/s72-c/etsy114sand_sea.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214870777807541689.post-4226059917908455374</id><published>2009-07-20T13:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-20T13:22:09.031-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Beads on my Website</title><content type='html'>I have another promotion.

Nice place, nice people and beautiful art. I came back with lots of ideads to create new stuff, but not too many sales.

The third day was gray, withought rain, but the grass was so wet that many visitors passed by almost without stopping, watching their nice shoes getting soaked. :(&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm just thankful I didn't catch a cold, especially since I had a karate exam a few days after. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the bead front, I have a few nice focals to show you that are on sale in my Etsy shop as well as many small sets of beads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 319px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359480690131729906" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmCzSrvd_fI/AAAAAAAAAA0/QqfLcA0SX2Y/s320/etsy114hotpink_focal.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 319px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359480694870674274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmCzS9ZUi2I/AAAAAAAAAA8/TOvPWeLA6mA/s320/etsy114amber_focal.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bleuverre.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 319px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359480698179170914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmCzTJuIMmI/AAAAAAAAABE/2D_f3L0vCCM/s320/etsy114blue_focal.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4214870777807541689-7875861201809291841?l=bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/feeds/7875861201809291841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/07/back-from-flood.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/7875861201809291841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/7875861201809291841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/07/back-from-flood.html' title='Back from the flood'/><author><name>Bleu Verre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03333301519422933266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MzhCULfImSM/SmCzSrvd_fI/AAAAAAAAAA0/QqfLcA0SX2Y/s72-c/etsy114hotpink_focal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214870777807541689.post-952714418093584114</id><published>2009-07-02T07:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-02T07:37:26.174-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#339999;"&gt;Jewelry show&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July already!

But I really have to be at the torch. I'm really tempted to take all the equipment on the porch and give it a try outside. But I think the wind would blow my flame and would make my beads crack. Oh well... :) If any if my fellow beadmakers have tried it, tell me how it went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't have access to internet for most of the day yesterday, so there was no post. But three days in four is not bad I think. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to work on focals in the next few day (as well as my custom orders of course). I have a show coming soon and pendants were my best sellers. I will probably offer many of them to you first in my different shops, so if you want any, I'll make others for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget my GREAT SALE. Details in the previous posts. I only have 3 so it shouldn't be too difficult to find it. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a great day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4214870777807541689-4135587019916904658?l=bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/feeds/4135587019916904658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/06/beautiful-day-its-such-beautiful-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/4135587019916904658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/4135587019916904658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/06/beautiful-day-its-such-beautiful-day.html' title=''/><author><name>Bleu Verre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03333301519422933266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214870777807541689.post-5789791562652442300</id><published>2009-06-15T11:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T11:32:22.645-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#339999;"&gt;An all week celebration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to extand my &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;2 years on Etsy celebration sale&lt;/span&gt; all week!!! So it will end Sunday June 21 at midnight Eastern time. Look for the details of the sale in yesterday's post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm extending the sale because:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, some of you don't do internet surfing during the weekends, so you couldn't take advantage of the sale.  :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, I also want to celebrate the opening of my blog. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, I have to pay for my daughter's Summer camp (shouldn't mention this one, should I ? :) )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last... I have my first follower to my blog! Thanks so much Lisa! I will send you a little something from my bead box.  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As stated in yesterday's post, I will give you an additional 10% on all purchases from my shops (no minimum) if you just tell me you saw the information on my super blog. So... this means that if you are preparing for a bead show and need lots of beads, or want to stock for the whole year, or if you just love my beads and want lots of them just for yourself, you could buy $200.00 worth or more of my beads and get 30% off and free shipping. That is something to think about... You have the whole week to think about it, but don't wait to long in case they all fly away to new homes. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care and have fun shopping!&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4214870777807541689-5789791562652442300?l=bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/feeds/5789791562652442300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/06/all-week-celebration-i-decided-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/5789791562652442300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4214870777807541689/posts/default/5789791562652442300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bleuverrebeads.blogspot.com/2009/06/all-week-celebration-i-decided-to.html' title=''/><author><name>Bleu Verre</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03333301519422933266</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214870777807541689.post-8378372764228767868</id><published>2009-06-14T12:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-14T12:29:36.352-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hi everyone,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my first post and I'm just giving it a try.
