And, if that wasn’t enough I had a AMAZING time at my A.C. Moore Demo.  There was such a great crowd!!  I am not sure if I had more than a moment of a break.  There were kids makeing bracelets, adults learning and asking questions… oh, it was just so very very fun!!  I hope to be able to go back soon and do it all again!!  Thank you to A.C. Moore and Prima Beads for this opportuniee!!

And there is still more!!  Some of you that watch my Fan Page know that something happened yesterday when I went to the mail box….. but I would tell you what!  I have to say, before I tell you, that I am ‘over the moon’.  So, here is the news….
Can you read it?  Well, it is telling me that my Purple Swarovski Crystal Swirl Beadwoven Lace Necklace has made it to the finals round of the Swarovski Crystal contest!!  OMG!!!!!!  That means that I have TWO creations this year to make it to the finals!!  Can’t remember which one this is?  Well, here it is….
