Don't Feed The Trolls and Updates!!!

I really wish I had written this post, it is so eloquent. Anways, click here to read it! :) And yes, it is about internet trolls. It is definitely worth a read!

In other news, I won a beady raffle from http://BeadSwap-USA.com/! You can find pictures of it on my facebook, right here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151481648269189.510245.70965219188&type=3.

I got owl beads!!! :)

Also, I'm participating in the Blu Mudd Design Competition, and this is what I got to design with:

This is a Blu Mudd Rouge Berry Ceramic Pendant, handmade by Moriah Betterly!

You can buy her AWESOME STUFF right here: http://blumudd.com/ . (She also makes the MOST ADORABLE Hello Kitty pendants- one in pink and one in blue. Go look and see!).

I've been drooling over beads. I just can't seem to have enough of them, (of course not!). But I'm going to have to focus on purchasing some supplies like jewelry boxes, organza bags, and packaging materials. Oi! I wish I could just keep buying beads... Wishing wishing wishing.

If all goes to plan, I'll be attending the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee this June! I will not be taking any classes, (I'm getting there for the tail end of the show, methinks), but I will be on a bead buying frenzy! :) YAY! Sounds like a blast to me! I'll keep you all posted!

Also, I won this ring from the talented Karen Snyder of OSebastian! :) Here's the link to her shop:
