Bead Soup Blog Party Begins!!

OK! So a quick little post to say that I am very excited about this Bead Soup Blog Party.
I haven't found out who my bead soup partner is but I'm sure she will be wonderful! Lori Anderson is one of my favorite bead artist and a very strong individual.
This challenge in itself is a huge project! I had no idea how much work went into one of these parties!

But , I can tell you that I can truly appreciate all her time and effort especially while she is waging her own personal battle with her health. She is truly a remarkable lady and I want to "Thank You so very much! " This is going to be a wonderful journey for me.

Let the games begin!!!

Carmi Cimicata Watch Face Project!

I just had to share this with everybody even if know one's read my blog! I was so excited about this I wanted to share with everyone! In September Carmi Cimicata announced that she was having a project involving these great watch faces that she ask people to decorate them with resin or art resin clay. Well I just thought for sure I wouldn't be chosen well! I WAS!!! We had to art them up and of course since I love resin I just had to jump on board. We had to have them finished before November 28th and get them mailed back to her as she is going to pick the best ones and bring them to California to the biggest Craft show in the country. The Craft and Hobby Association will be held in Pasadena California in January and I am so excited about this!


I am hoping that my watch face will be picked I am going to post a picture of it here and you let me know what you think! I think it turned out so very cool but there are some really amazing artist out there ! So drum roll please!!!!!

I had to post this to my blog! I so love this lady's work! Aren't these bunnies just the cutest little beads?!?!? I could so make a bracelet with one of those! Anyways, I hope I win! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

These swaps are so much fun! Tina Holden is our host and she is the best! I was always wondering about these swaps but was afraid to join . I didn't think I was good enough ,that my art work was par-standard, but I decided to jump right in ! The ladies were very welcoming and encouraged me along the way. My husband was also very supportive and helped me so much with my projects and always making sure I had everything I needed and even helped me when I got stuck and my muse went on a walk-about! In fact, this last swap he came up with the idea of making snowmen ornaments! These are my snowmen and my snowflake twenchie's. In case you're wondering what a to twenchi is well it's a 2" x 2" in canvas made entirely out of clay, clayers use them to trade and to express themselves artistically.

 

International Polymer Clay Swaps!

This is a polymer clay ornament and twenchi that I was given by my swap partner Laurel Stevens. We were in a swap I think it's the 7th one, for me since I've joined is my 3rd swap!

Giving Thank's

Wow ! The holidays just came in like a whirlwind! What the heck !? I got through a birthday and Halloween and Thanksgiving was a wonderful day of eating and watching holiday movies with my hubby!
I had a really nice time , my son also spent Thanksgiving with us and my step-daughter Kaylynn communicated with me! It's a long story but it really made my day!

So I am grateful for many things this year, for my wonderful husband who is so patient and understanding, for my son who I pray that his life will turn around for him pretty soon and he can start a new chapter. For my step daughter may she continue to find it in her heart every day to forgive me my past transgressions so we can be a family again once more. I miss you very , very much! So lord thank you for my family near and far, for my friends and I pray that they too find peace and happiness this holiday season!
