While reading Twitter this morning I read a tweet about a blog that is having a bead giveaway. Hey I love a good giveaway like anyone else, so I checked it out.
It's at SilverParrot's Blog. You've gotta check out this pile of beads that she is sending to the winner. It really is awesome.
There is one small problem. The contest ends TODAY, Friday, June 12th!! You've gotta run over there, post to your blog a link to her blog to be entered in the contest. And a follow for her blog wouldn't be bad either.
I read some of her blog, and she shows some photos of some really nice work and some gorgeous beads also!
Good luck in the contest!
A couple years ago I was able to go to a Rings-Things.com Bead Show in Minneapolis, MN. Then things got, you know, BUSY. I got "unexpectedly" pregnant at the age of 38. My little girl joined the rest of us including her brother who is 9 years older than her, and her half sisters who are 19 & 21 years older than her.
So in that time, I have always missed the shows appearance in Minneapolis. So this time, I've been counting down for approximately 70 days. Ask Dave, the Rings-Things Twitter Rep. I've been reminding him about the upcoming show for a long time. ;-)
Not only have I been reminding the Rep about the show but I've made sure to continue reminding my hubby that he will have the kids that day. This isn't a problem for him, I just need to keep reminding him.
So next Sunday, I will be in bead heaven, trying not to drool. Check out the listing at Rings-Things to make sure you don't miss one that is coming to your area. I'll update you after the show with my goodies!!
Work has been busy, Family has been busy, Kids have been busy...it seems like everything in life has been busy. And in all of that, I decided to write up a tutorial. I now have a tutorial for my beaded Fiber Bookmarks and hopefully soon some kits will be available too. You can purchase the tutorial here. Thank you for visiting!
Here I sit on a Sunday night, using my laptop. To its fullest extent! I'm writing this blog post, dear daughter is watching Surf's Up, I'm following my tweets with TwitKit, occasionally looking at another Window Shop on www.ByHand.Me and clicking on an occasional interesting link in twitter. It's amazing how far the computer has come and our ability to multitask. What does your monitor look like right now??
If you are part of the Handmade Community, if there is such a thing, you are probably familiar with the different venues you can sell your products on. Like www.etsy.com, www.artfire.com, www.1000markets.com, www.dawanda.com, www.silkfair.com and more. Like others, I am registered with atleast 2 of these venues and sometimes find it hard to know when and how much to advertise each of them.
Now, we are lucky. There is a website out there, www.byhand.me, that is able to help with this problem. Byhand.me was developed by a husband & wife team of Infivision & Soapdeli. For a site that was imagined only 3-4 short weeks ago, it sure has exploded in size and traffic. According to Project Wonderful's traffic chart, they have had over 8,000 hits today alone. That's a lot of traffic!
Byhand.me has a lot of nice features like Spotlights(like etsy treasuries), window shopping(randomly selects things from different spotlights), Community & personal blogs, forums, chat & much more!
So if you want to check out an interesting community and a fun place, check out byhand.me. Oh and I forgot to mention, once you create a spotlight, you can copy the code for your blog. Like this...
