Give-Away Introducing My New Bead Bars!

This drawing is now closed! Thanks :D

I'm going to really make this one simple. Only one comment needed, but I'll give you more chances to win by doing one or all of the following:

1. Post a comment here and tell me which you prefer: a premade bead bar, or a changeable bead bar you can stack your own big holed beads on
2. Post a second comment telling me you've signed up for my newsletter. It's over on the top right over there. If you already subscribe to my newsletter, then just post a second comment telling me that.
3. Post a comment here telling me you blogged, tweeted or posted (include link please) somewhere in your social networking system about my give away.

And now, I'd like to introduce my new Bead Bars! Made with genuine copper, which I love because it's such a warm and inviting color, and it brings out the natural beauty in everything.

Floral Bead Bar Necklace

Blue, pink and white flowers

Brown satin ribbon necklace

This is the Lampwork Bead Bar Necklace you will win. It has one of my handmade floral beads, which I don't make very many of these days. And it features one of my copper bead bars wrapped in copper wire hugging that little floral bead. A simple brown tie on ribbon necklace completes this necklace. This particular pendant is completely finished and ready to wear.

I also sell just the bead bars. Why you ask? Well, I'm a huge fan off the Trollbeads, Pandora and Biagi bracelets. And I love making beads for them. But I can't really wear an big beady bracelet to work since I work on a computer all day. So I wanted something to wear my beads on and show them off. So I created this cool bead bar that you can slide beads on and off of to decorate and adorn yourself!

This has a larger bail for Pandora and Biagi Beads

This has a smaller bail for the Trollbeads, which have smaller holes

This is the Trollbeads Bead bar with multiple beads

This is another pre-finished bead bar, ready to wear

I'd love to hear any other comments and feedback you have. I'm very excited about this design. I hope you like it as well.

Winner to be selected on 1/31/11!

I Am Such A Slacker!

I have to apologize for being such a slacker. And I have to admit that sometimes I make bad decisions.  So now you're probably wondering what I'm talking about.

I came across a blog one day and noticed that they didn't do new blog posts to announce winners.  Instead they just posted at the top of the original blog post who the winner was, and that was it.  Well, I thought "what a time saver!"  So I did that same thing with my last give away.

Then, as time went on, the more I thought about it the more impersonal it felt, and wrong!  So I would like to apologize for being a slacker.  I should really follow my instinct and do what I know is right.

So, with that, I'd like to make an official announcement that Star from ColtPixy was the winner of the Beary Cute Giveaway.

Thank you to everyone who participated.  I love doing give aways.   Stay tuned for more.....
