What a crazy couple of weeks I've had!!

Started with a mammogram and ultrasound of the boobies and then finding out I had to get a biopsy. Good news is that the cyst they took out was benign!! - Happy Dance here!!

Then I got invited to be on the Oprah show and was on national TV yesterday on the show with Steve Harvey as her guest. That was so much fun!!!

I've been super busy at my real life job.

The kids are on spring break this week so it's a mad house here!! It's been raining for the last 2 days so it's not been much fun for spring break.

When it comes to glass work I seem to have lost my mo-jo. I'm not sure what to make right now and nothing is selling. It's a tough economy right now all over. The beads I make just seem to sit here and it is really sad to me. When I create beads I do so in the hopes that they will travel the world and see places I'll never get to go to. I love that I have beads in places like Africa, Russia, United Kingdom, Canada, and all over the US.

I welcome suggestion on what kind of beads I should make.. Really I want to know what you want to see. Please leave a comment with some ideas for me.

I do have one idea from a dear friend that made me giggle!! I'll have to share it after I make it. I want to see if I can pull it off first.

Enough babbling for now.. I'm off to bed in hopes of dreams of glass beads... Have a great one!!

Week of Good News

This has turned out to be a good week! I am now selling my beads at a bead shop called Bliss Beads in DeKalb Illinois. Super exciting!! The owner, Allison is really nice and has a wonderful bead shop going. I brought in two trays of beads and a display of goddess beads there on Monday. In just two short days I have already sold a couple.

Not only am I selling beads there, I am also going to be teaching some classes. My first class is going to be on April 16th or April 18th - 2 days so you get a variety of times to choose from. It will be on making goddess beads. I'm so excited. I've wanted to teach for a long time now so I feel like my art is coming together now and that it is a good time to expand. If you are interested the cost is only $75 for 3 hours of goddess instruction. I can get you the number to call and sign up, just drop me a note.

This is one of my older goddess beads. I call this one PMS.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!
