Below is an email from her mom. Looks like I will be spending my Christmas Eve/ Day in Columbus too. Oh well. No biggie. I think I'll try to come up with things to keep a 3 year old...

Hi Beady Buddies, In order to continue offering you quality merchandise at low prices, we decided to close our eBay store. We wanted to let you know in case you had bookmarked that page and were unable to access it. We may still list on eBay from time to time, but we just wanted to notify you about...

Some of you might remember me from last year. I hung around for a while then my family and I (husband, two children), moved halfway across the country and I got very busy with adjusting to the new life, etc., etc., and have just now made it back to you all. And I'm glad to be back! Anyway! I had a...

I just got my stuff up on my website; Several new sets, and a good deal more focals than usual! :) I also have new pairs and a boatload of new pendants as well. I've been busy this week! Sets: http://www.beadwife.com/?CategoryID=31 Focals:

It's really alarming now, and if PayPal and eBay don't get off their butts and do something they're going to face a lot of problems. Today there were five very very slickly produced and phrased phishes in my mailbox. Two warning me of fraudulent bids, two usual ones wanting my details to 'update'...

Jerri, I know you've probably already posted the link to the photo of Butterbean's latest outfit, but I'm slow, and I was just cruising your website... The Professor says that's a really dangerous costume for this time of year, especially when at least one South American country (Peru, I think) is...

Our router died this weekend, so I've been offline for a while. All better now, so I thought I'd get a couple of things up: Etruscan Gold - Sublime blown vessel with an ancient look and feel! Black neck, lip wrap and rounded, gilded (22kt) handles. Body is ecru with 22kt Gold, irridized detailing...

I have a bruise exactly the shade of a little mirror. My toe is the handle, and there's a big round purple spot on my foot, where the face of the mirror would be. No doubt I was tired and clumsy. I somehow stepped on the top or slight on the back of my toe. It's the toe that doesn't bend due...

Donna's photography is really hitting the mark! I can't wait for you guys to see the bead sets she has up... She has a knack for wonderful and unique color combinations. I'm so proud of her! She is already developing a following, as several sets were sold before I let anyone know they were up....

Things are ramping up for the holiday season here. I have a lot of things to do, and if I can keep myself off the computer except for about an hour a day, I can do them and have time to breathe. This coming week is my birthday, and we're going to my parents' for Thanksgving (I get to meet Kalera...

I found this cool set of beaded pens that come in a holder. I thought the price was pretty good, and thought you guys might be interested: http://snipurl.com/atip Tink Check here for available work: http://blackswampglassworks.com/latest.htm

Anybody recommend one of the ebay snipe programs??? TIA Armand -- http://www.dvinedzines.com

I am really starting to get a complex about being computer illiterate!!! I just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the nice things people are posting about my work. Without Tink I would never have figured out how to post pictures and list auctions!!! Thanks Tink. Well after 2 days trying to...

Wow - look what Skreemin Chicken has up on Justbeads! All of these are truly gorgeous. http://www.justbeads.com/search/search_results.cfm?search_text=chicken -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net

Hi y'all, I've been lurking for awhile, but still keeping up with all the goings on at RCB. Well wishes, congratulations, and prayers for all of you beaders! Hope that covers everything. My stringing question is this: I've tried my best to get my simply strung necklaces to end up with no softflex...

The other night I walked to the little quicky mart, and was mentioning to the young lady behind the desk that I was having so much fun with beads lately. She interuppted me to exclaim "Oh, I love beads!!!". I gave her my email addy tonight and by tomorrow she will be one of us... hooked on...

I think I finally managed to get some decent pictures of my fused work up. I also have about 15 new bead sets at very reasonable prices!!! You can see them at dpowersglassworks.com Thanks for looking. donna powers

You are in your bed, alone, nude. Suddenly and without warning, a bead comes in your bed!!! What do you do?

Surprise, surprise, my pain is not "all in my head," but in my spine. I have 6 fractured and crumbling vertebrae, and every disc in my thoracic region is either bulging or ruptured. There are arthritic spurs squishing the nerves in the whole region, explaining my loss of movement. Lord ...

What do you guys think about generic drugs? You know, the generic (cheaper) versions of prescription drugs. I seem to be having an issue with a generic. Tink Check here for available work: http://blackswampglassworks.com/latest.htm
