I haven't been this sick in ages. Oh, I've had colds and such, but this flu is killing me. I can't sleep! I just needed to whine. And there's nothing to do to kill the time that doesn't make me feel like crap. Even being at the computer is hard. Just kill me! Anyway. Gah. -- Kandice...

Hi everyone - hope you're having a great week! I've been working on catching up on custom orders in the last few days (I had the flu last week), so instead of making new beads, I am auctioning off some of my extra beads from the Bead Bowl today. Lots of fun designs here - check them...

I don't often do this, but I'm going through a lot right now and could really use some help. My son is having some major problems. We could all use some of those rcb healing thoughts and prayers. Monday night is going to be very tough for us. Thanks, Patti

In my never-ending quest to get organized (Ha. Ha.), I'm looking for some trays that would fit inside some drawers to help me organize. I'd like to find some shallow ones that I could stack, so I could get two drawers out of one. Anyone have a good source? I'm looking around on the net and...

I've been on a wire wrapping photo pendant kick lately. I wanted to ask if this is stylish or crappy? I use silver solder, which is lead free and wire wrap the pendants with 22 gauge sterling silver round wire. http://s43.photobucket.com/albums/e399/nixcreations/?action=view&current=new31.jpg

Hey Guys. I know it has been forever since I sent out an update, but there has been a ton of things going on. At the beginning of this last month I moved form Sacramento, CA to Mesa, AZ. It has been a very stressful time. But in the months before the move I was able to make a bunch of beads. I...

Hi everyone! About a year ago I read somewhere on line that there was a place online that sold Lacy's Stiff Stuff in colors, and I can't for the life of me remember where I read this, or find anyone who sells anything other than the plain white. I'm looking particularly for black. I'm also...

Got beads from Laura Lutric last week. And they are wonderful! Great Gaia. Thanks. Tina

Is there anyone who could share *one* bead tip?? I'd be happy to trade whatever... I have gold-filled bead tips ("clam shell" type) that are used from the bottom -- but I know they have them that can be used from the *side* -- I need one of those and don't want to go to a standard supplier for...

Yes I am now in AZ, Mesa to be exact... along with Karen Sherwood and Valerie... What a small world. I hope to meet up with Karen on Sunday for some torch time and glass talk. Details... gah I hate being long winded lol. (VERY LONG WINDED) Let's see... This has been in the works for about 9...

I think I mentioned that I have done a digital imaging course. Also that I have made my first quilt. While I was doing the DI and making some unusual pictures by imposing one element of one photo on to another. Then using various textures. I hit on the idea for some pieces to make a wall...

Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes. I went to see my brother today, he is now out of intensive care and is a little better. The drips have been removed and now we have to encourage him to try and eat. We just hope he carries on from strength to strength and not have anymore set...
