First things first

I am back in town after a gorgeous retreat on Whidbey Island with 11 lovely ladies!

Now trying to meld back into my normal schedule shuttling kids to soccer games, teaching art in the school... and finding my shoes that I shoved in the bottom of one of my boxes...

Speaking of boxes, I loaded one with beads that I will bring with me to Ben Franklin Crafts next weekend (October 23-24) for a trunk show/book signing on Saturday...


and a fun class on Sunday where we will combine fabric and beads into gorgeous 2-sided pendants...

To those of you who have been knocking on my virtual shop door... I will dive into my website over the next few days to re-launch my on-line shop after a summer hiatus. I'll let you know when I am up and running (e-mail me if you would like to join my mailing list) .

However, first things first!

Thank you for all of your fabulous reviews of Beaded Colorways. I pulled a name out of a hat to win the colorful package of beads and colorwheels...

Congratulations

John B. /Rose Mary Jameson

Please e-mail me your address and the 3 Bead Soup Collection colorways you would like!

Thank you

for all of your e-mails and wonderful praise of my book. Your words fill my heart!

And those of you who took the time to comment on Amazon - how can I thank you enough for telling me (and the whole world!) that you are drawing inspiration from my work? Your words mean so much more than you could ever know!

Thank you, thank you, thank you dear readers - you make me feel all warm and tingly inside!

And for all of you who pre-ordered from my website - and therefore entered your name to win a package full of color...


I have had so much fun filling a cute box with bead soups and fiber bundles and I wish I could send all of you a big present full of beads and fibers and color... however, I had to pick one. So I mixed all of your names together and drew...
