Blog Hop Catching Up! & San Diego Area Classes

Day Two of the Blog Hop! 
For me it's all about color. I am inspired by color and combinations of compatible colors get me 
very excited. So, for the Blog Hop Gifts, I am putting together a little package of daily colors. It will
be whatever strikes my fancy each day. I found one of my cameras, sadly the new one was not in the same box, but I will find it hopefully. Meanwhile, I am catching up with photos of Day 1 and Day 2 
gift bag contents. YUM!!! I will draw a name from each day's comments list, throw them into a hat and at the end of the Blog Hop, a lucky winner will be drawn from that hat. I learned that many people prefer not to have their email address on a public blog. So, I will announce the winner's name on December 15th's blog and give you 24 ours to email me so I can get an address to send your package to. All of my contact info is on my website.

Weekend Workshops for San Diego Area Beaders! 
I am teaching two of my favorite classes this Saturday, December 10 at the Bouncing Bead in La Mesa. The morning class is The Wave Bracelet 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. The afternoon class is Mastering the Curl 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm.

Sunday is another half day workshop, Tempting Tassels from 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm. The photo does not do them any justice at all. They are so bright and glowing with the white and silver beads and crystals that none of my photos came out like I wished. Trust me, they are fabulous in person. you can make them in Christmas colors or not! Your choice!
We still have space in both sessions, so come for the day or half the day and play with us!

    Color is definitely one of my biggest sources (if not THE biggest) of inspiration, and I love the way you use it in your work.

    I'm so glad I found your blog! I've seen you at the Bead and Button show a few times, and you've always been so nice. :)

    I took your mastering the curl class in Anchorage. Bead size matters! I could utilize all of the giveaways because I have the Knowledge from past classes on how to use them. The colors are bright to light up my winter.

    What a cool idea! I tend to stick to the same color palette, so it would be an interesting challenge to work with colors someone else chose.

    I haven't seen your work prior to being directed here from Lori's website, so I have had to go back and look through your older blog postal Very impressive. Too bad I'm not closer to be able to take your classes! I had to become a follower, though, so I can watch your talent! 'thanks for the generous giveaways!
