On the Road Again. . .

The Art Bead Love Tour is on the move again!  Stop by Ex Post Facto Jewelry to see where it ends up next:

Here's hoping it's MY house. . .  ;-)

I'm Impressed. . .

Impress Art just released some new Letter Set designs, and to celebrate Lori Anderson is having a giveaway on her {Pretty Things} website!

Metal stamping is such a great way to personalize designs, and Impress Art has some wonderful sets.  They're also giving away a cute little hammer that's specifically designed for metal stamping!

You can check out all the new sets by clicking below:

Stop by Lori's blog for your chance to win, and check out her Pretty Things while you're there. . .

The Art Bead Love Tour. . .

Almost sounds like it should involve the Beatles, doesn't it? 

Follow the link below to my friend Patty's blog to learn how the giveaway works, and for a chance to participate.

My fingers, toes, and any other capable body parts are crossed!

Meet my Partner. . .

The partners for the Button Swap Blog Hop were announced, and I am so excited to have been partnered with Cindy Wimmer from Sweet Bead Studio.  :)  Cindy is actually the organizer of the swap, and she shared a picture of her incredible antique and vintage button collection on her blog:

I have always loved buttons, and can remember playing in my Mom's button tin when I was a little girl. . .those buttons are now part of my collection.  There is something about old buttons that makes me wonder what article of clothing they are from, who wore them, and what stories they have to tell.

I look forward to picking out the special buttons to send to Cindy, and am so excited to see what I get to design with from her beautiful collection. 

Stay tuned for pictures along the way, and the final reveal. . .
