A Few Things!


I have a few things to say today!!!! I thought I'd make them colorful, too!

1) I am so glad the first week of school is over with!

2) I am so glad it's a long weekend!!!!

3) I sold some beads to someone in Vilnius, Lithuania - how cool is that? Your beads are on their way today!

4) The engineer received this email from someone last night - take a look:

"can you please send me an abstract on GRID COMPUTING WITHIN 4 HOURS....PLEASE"

So, the engineer works at a university and is fairly famous in his field - can you imagine getting this from someone - at 2am??!!??!?! This someone is apparently a student from a foreign university who apparently doesn't realize how small the world is!

5) I am going to Maryland tomorrow for a fun B&B overnight near Deep Creek - I've never been there.

6) I'll have some beads on etsy later today and yes, the dust is free!!!!!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
