Help Me Decide Give Away
In the not-too-distant future, I will be celebrating a pretty special milestone for my Etsy shop. I know that I want to have a BIG give-away to mark the occasion. What I do not know is what to give away. Help me, please, by making some suggestions. If you could choose a (reasonable, please!) prize, what would it be?
And to give you a little incentive to come up with a suggestion...I will use my trusty random number generator to pick one of the comments to receive a choice of a Sand Fibers pattern, a Lisa Peters hexagonal cabochon, or a $15 gift certificate to my store. :)
Leave your suggestions and a means to contact you in the comments below by midnight Eastern Standard Time on Saturday, January 2, 2010. I will announce the Big Celebration Give Away as well as the winner of this little Help Me Decide Give Away on Sunday, January 3, 2010. What fun!

Tuesday's Pattern #10 and 29 of 31 in December
I have been so busy beading up orders that I haven't had time to create "test drive" cuffs of my brand new designs. A lovely customer made it really easy for me to decide which of my existing designs to publish as a pattern today, however, when she asked me for the pattern for

28 of 31 in December
Good Monday Morning, my friends! Snow is predicted for the borderland late tonight. That would be the third snow event (here, by the way, a flake constitutes a snow event!) this season. Unheard of!
Snow made me think of silver. Snow in the desert made me think of Cactus Blossoms, which is now officially the 28th of my "31 in 31" specials. (I know: my mind works in mysterious ways. Enjoy!)
Leave "28 of 31" in the Notes to Seller when you purchase this, and I will create this made-to-order cuff using sterling silver-plated delica beads instead of the galvanized silver delicas in the original design. These more expensive beads will make the cuff even more spectacular! 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, almost complete:
Have yourself a great Monday! Be well and get going :D

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."
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!

Tuesday's Pattern #9
A few weeks ago, I was asked if I could bead a 1.5" version of my Green Bargello Hearts cuff:
The buyer liked the pattern I drew up for her and placed her order, which went out this morning. I'm really thrilled with the narrow version, and so I will now offer it as a made-to-order piece in my shop
How could I not offer the pattern for sale as well? It too is now available in my store.

I've been busy beading a cuff that had to go out in today's mail and so this post is later in the day than I would like it to be. Can you believe I'm about to announce the 22nd of these "31 in 31" specials in December!? This month is just zipping by. Kinda scarey, if you ask me.
I suspect that we share more hugs and kisses with each other in December than in any other month of the year. With that in mind, I'm sharing these with you today:
