Did anyone happen to download a copy to their computer of the thanksgiving card of of the turkey singing the Gloria Gaynor song "I will survive?" It is no longer available on the American Greetings website and I really wanted to show it to some people at work. If anyone has it could you email it...

The glass rods, the torch, the hoses, the regulator for the propane, the implements of destruction (tweezers, dental tools, etc.) have arrived. The propane is on its way for tomorrow. All I need now is the 02 machine and I'm good to go. We've even found a welding supplier to get us...

Yesterday, my boss asked me to bring in some of my jewelry, because she wanted to take a look at it. She's been admiring the pieces I've been wearing in to work, and was interested in seeing my sale pieces. She unfortunately had a meeting that prevented her from seeing my stuff, but the other...

I'm STARVING so I won't do my usual lengthy-post thing, but I wanted to let you know I just finished posting beads! OK, a couple that I really liek and want you to see before they're gone: Cool Khakis: http://www.beadwife.com/detail.tpl?ItemID=3870 Pharoah's...

Ok, I've had it. I can't run a business with an email program that continues to lock me out at least once a month, if not more and I have to restore a backup and go through hundreds of duplicate emails and unnamed file folders that need to be put back (manually!) into their right space. I just...

Early this morning my niece was born! Soooo exciting! She was born today, December 1st, on the new moon. She was also born during the first snowfall of the season! There was a little snow down where she and her new mommy and daddy live. Her name is Maia Devlin Seeber and she's 19 1/2" and 8 lbs....

This is where I found you guys over two years ago, and this is where I found the inspiration to follow my dream. I lurked here for almost a year before ever posting. When I made my fist ugly little beads, this is where I posted pictures of them and got the support and encouragement I needed to...

So, it has been a while since I have posted on here but I have been lurking and reading whenever I get the chance. I do enjoy all the links people put up to their beautiful work. I love eye candy! Today is my booboobunny's 19th birthday and she is taking a beauty nap before we take her out to...

To try to stimulate some discussion, how about this topic? What is YOUR favorite piece of jewelry and why? Is it something you made? Was it a gift? Was it a special purchase? Today for me it is a pair of earrings I made... they are not that unusual really, but the beads are a greenish picasso...

Some fun new sets - finally! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5017671841 Halloween Magic http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5017666171 Summer Magic I would love to know what you think! :)

Hi everyone. I haven't posted my auctions in a while and I have some stuff up that I really like. So I thought you'd enjoy looking. Thanks! -Ellen http://snipurl.com/fd2f

How many times can I squeeze a football reference into my weekly announcements? When will I tire of this terrible joke? Hmmm... it is a mystery! Despite being completely freaking out at the prospect of teaching my first class, I managed to get a lot of beads made last week... Breezy says that I...

I feel a little weird sharing this because it's definitely bragging...but I'm so excited, and I know that you folks will understand: We have a new jeweler in town. He recently moved here and started a part-time custom design business, having retired from a lifetime of full-time jewelry design in...

Will I ever get caught up or should I mark 'em all read? Hmmm. -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com

Her son Ray is her web designer and he's still working on the site as you'll see when you check out the links. (He's a published comic book artist). Anyway, Christi is my favorite artist and I'm also proud...

I think your bracelets look super, Ang! On the purple set - I think you have a great eye for balance and design - each strand is different, yet they all go together very well. Pretty! I love the big black beads on your red/black bracelet - I like the 'chunkiness' of the bracelet as a whole and...

Laura, I'm going through a similar thing right now. I've had a moderate amount of success with name bracelets and other jewelry, but I can't seem to get the ideas in my head onto the design board. Very frustrating. So, I made a decision this past week - I'm going to go through my huge bead stash...

I just got back from the vet's office. My lovely Mina, age 23, is no longer suffering from renal failure. I'll talk about it more when I'm not crying. Celine -- Handmade jewelry at http://www.rubylane.com/shops/starcat "Only the powers of evil claim that doing good is boring." -- Diane Duane,...

I have been on an earring making kick the past couple days. I ordered some bulk sterling wire and I've been going nuts making earrings-- I actually even sold a couple of pairs recently. I've got a little plastic jar in front of my workplace where I've been sticking all the little bits and pieces...

I just made a choker incorporating some natural turquoise beads. I like the design, but I'm wondering if it was a bad idea. With every bead resting on the neck, won't it be exposed to more perspiration, lotions, etc. which could cause it to change color more quickly? Should I advise a buyer...
