Giveaway – Sea Breeze Earrings

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Greetings :-)

Welcome to my weekly giveaway!

This week, I’m featuring the gorgeous colors of the sea – blue, green, and teal.

Sea Breeze Earrings

I’ve used glittering Swarovski “indicolite” (teal) crystals and beautiful Czech Glass beads that have swirls of blue and green shining through a clear glass overlay. All findings are sterling silver, including the artisan crafted ear wires.

Measurement: 1-1/2 inches in length.



Contest Rules and How To Enter

Any day you leave a comment on this blog – it is counted as a chance to enter that week’s giveaway.

For example, if you answer today’s question (you’ll find it below!) that will give you one chance.

But if you then come back another day this week and comment on a different post – you will have earned another chance in this week’s giveaway! There are usually 4-5 posts per week – Monday through Friday – so you can have multiple chances to enter!

Today’s question is:

What is the farthest you have ever been from home?

My answer . . .
The Czech Republic. We went to visit our daughter who was there for a study-abroad semester during her junior year of college. The architecture, especially in Prague, is absolutely beautiful and the food was so delicious!

All’s Well That Ends Well!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

busylady

Did you ever have one of those days that you skipped breakfast and lunch and didn’t even realize it?

You know – a day when you had a million things to do and in the midst of it all, there were constant interruptions and the phone wouldn’t stop ringing?

That was Wednesday for me. By the time we finished a late dinner (I was starving by then!) all I wanted to do was put my feet up and relax.

One of the best ways I’ve found to unwind after a long day is to “play” with beads. There’s definitely something very soothing about planning and creating a pretty design!

It doesn’t have to be a big project – those are probably better for when you’re well-rested. Even if you only have an hour or two during the evening, you can easily make some smaller pieces! Of course, you can always start a larger piece if you like, and then work on it little by little whenever you have time. The point is to be sure and get your share of those creative moments – they will truly refresh your spirit!

And after the crazy busy day that I’ve just had, it seems especially nice that I have something fun to show for it! :-)
