27 of 31 in December

As I approach my 49th birthday, I become increasingly aware of the need for youthful fancy in my life. And so, my friends, I offer this as the 27th of my "31 in 31."

Youthful Fancy Necklace with Raku Focal and Bead Embroidery

This remains one of my favorite creations EVER!!! I learned so much working with Lisa Peters' fantastic cabochon, and the results are fantastic (if I do say so myself).

Leave "27 of 31" in the Notes to Seller when you purchase this, and I will include a surprise bead or button by Lisa Peters for you. This offer is valid between now and midnight Etsy time on December 31st, which is also how long the free worldwide shipping special at Sand Fibers lasts.

And here's your updated "31 in 31" guide, just in case you're having a hard time keep track of everything.

And don't forget:  my "Help Me Pay for the Plumber 3 for 2 Pattern Sale" in my Etsy shop runs through December 31st: buy and pay for 2 patterns and leave the name of the 3rd (equal or lesser value) pattern in the Notes to Seller.  The three plumber bills have almost been covered with proceeds from the sale, so I am incredibly grateful to my beading readers! Thank you!!!

Now be well and get going on this very last Sunday in 2009!
