Back to School

My kids are all officially back to school. I am enjoying uninterupted bead making. I loved having them home for the summer but it is really nice having a quiet house again.

I am thinking of going and visiting my mom and dad in Petersburg, AK during Octoberfest. They have a one day craft show that my mom has been wanting me to come to since they moved up there. 

Sign ups for the next challenge will be soon, still catching my breath from the end of summer, should be ready within the next week. I will announce signups as soon as I have beads all ready.

Here are some of my newest beads available on ArtFire, the sparkly pink in these sets is just mouth watering.  They are all designed to mix and match.

New Beads now available

I wanted to show you some of the newest beads I have listed on ArtFire, will chat more later. Hope you are having a great Labor Day weekend!
