Givin' it up

Ha.  Scared ya, didn't I?  No, not THAT kind of giving up.  The kind that has ME giving it up as in giving things AWAY!  So who's up for a contest?  I plan to have a give away to celebrate another visitor milestone to the blog - 26,000!  I did a little inquiry on Facebook, and think I will offer the winner a choice of either a finished piece of jewelry, or a surprise bag of beads.  I realized that I have fans and followers that are some of both - jewelry lovers, and bead lovers.  Now comes figuring out the contest part - trivia?  Puzzle? Random draw from comments?  And then decide on the prize - especially the jewelry part.  I'm thinking probably earrings - but that's as far as I've gotten.  I will probably wait until closer to the end of the month - until Mercury -

our planet of communication, gadgetry and all things internet-y - goes back direct.  I know.  I know.  Many of you are saying HUH?   I can't help it.  The astrologer person in me just pours out sometimes.   It's another love of mine that even flows out into my jewelry AND my babble from time to time....so, anyway - it does this crazy, wonky backward thing called Retrograde a few times a year - and can make all things communication and decision making a little weird for a few weeks.  Phone died?  Blame Mercury.  Laptop fizzled?  Yup.  Mercury.  We blame him. ALOT.  :)  He goes back the right way again at the end of the month...whew.

So stay tuned.  I will keep thinking on that contest, and how to offer what will surely be awesome prizes!

For a sneak peek at some of my jewelry - hit the Etsy link up at the left and check out the shop.  And for beads - here's just a teaser of some of the beads that I still have left in my inventory:

And speaking of inventory; it's part of the reason you haven't had a new post from me in awhile.  Gotta count them babies....  :/  ugh.   Almost done.  For another year....

Peaceful beading.
