I plan to get some gifty items listed and I have a few more holiday beads up my sleeve for Etsy BUT those the special sale will be advertised only to my newsletter and Facebook fanpage folks. So sign up already!!! (See lower left side of this page!)

11/20 - Just moving the last of the Christmas items over to Etsy. I think it's better to get more exposure for seasonal items over there. I'm busy working on a calendar to raise money for the AGLF to help pay the lawyer for those of us who have been libeled by that wacky woman from Waco. If you can help or need a gorgeous beady calendar, there's a link on the bead blog>>>>>.

11/13 - Happy Friday the 13th! - It's been a crazy week. I was named in the crazy fraud blog. If you don't know, a woman who was caught selling other people's lampwork, i.e. artwork, as her own last year and thus banned from Etsy has reappeared this year with a fraud blog where she is outright slandering artists! For most of the people she listed, she at least made some claim as to what fraud she "thought" they committed. But with me, she just called me a fraud.

And while I know my wonderful customers know that I'm not (you DO, don't you???), I worry about potential customers or stores and what they might think.... Sigh.

But lawyers are on it. She's been served and now...we wait!

There is a legal fund and I have a bead for sale to raise $$ for the lawyer. But on to happier things! I have a new focal for you today. Meet Rachael:

New Gift Set added:

8/27 - New Hearts tonight! And Focals!

8/23/09 5:31 pm update. See? I did add a bead!

Goodness Gracious! Is anyone still checking in here??? I hope so!

In case you are wondering about all the artist profiles on my blog, there is a terrible woman named Ullja who has started a blog targeting artists, mostly beadmakers. She has been reporting them for unpaid taxes (how would she know?), to business license boards, fire safety boards...you name. She clearly states she is hoping to steal their joy of running an online business! And while I trust that the average bear could read her nonsense nd tell she is completely mentally ill (my mental health worker friend thinks her lithium is out of balance), I wanted to do something for those that have been attacked. And the blog profile is my way of doing that. Expect more because this dingbat isn't going quietly into that good night anytime soon!

Now, how 'bout some BEADS??? I'm working on photos! Patience!

Previous new items:

7/7 - Shells!

7/5 - I put two pieces on Etsy. A little seahorse that languished here and a giant scallop that is stunning!

7/2 - I did get a set of mini spacers up and the Kandinsky piece is on the jewelry page. In case you haven't seen the blog, I piece won the prize for June on the Art Bead Scene!!! Cool!

6/5 - working on photos and the news letter sale. New beads coming up!

Finally, I have added a focal from a Corina Beads to the Buy beads Page.They are lovely and I am asking what I paid for them .

Alycia Yescas of Santa Clarita is a thief and a liar. She stole tools from me during a class and has not paid ($16.24) for them nor returned them as she promised. This message will be removed if she ever pays us. She should never be trusted with money...or anything else. Her cooking sucks too... Custom Caterers will rip you off too! Stupid girl does not even realize I book caterers in the film industry!
