Fascinating Friday 12/6/13 (Gift Guide, New Listings and A Book)

Today I have so much to do and not much time to do it all in!!  On top of beading I have to finish my prep for tonight’s class, make the bracelet to show for the NEXT class and get a custom order done!  Yep, it will be a busy day!  But, never to busy to smile and say – THANK YOU – to all of you that take the time to read my ‘antics’!! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did do a little bit last night – not much – but if you look you can see the layers growing on the top!! With beads that are 15o and 11o (meaning 11-15 per inch) the work goes slow!! Remember, you can come on over to my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day to watch it grow !!

But, I still have a new listing for today!!!  Yep, this is something from Grandmother’s Stash!!  I am not sure who made the center pendant, however, I can tell you that it is HANDMADE!!  Click on the photo to see more photos and info about this creation!

Today I would like to leave you with this thought from a great man who has inspired me personally to be a better person;
“It is never my custom to use words lightly. If twenty-seven years in prison have done anything to us, it was to use the silence of solitude to make us understand how precious words are and how real speech is in its impact on the way people live and die.”  (South Africa, July 14, 2000) ~Nelson Mandela
