Blog Hop - Sharing the Love - Day Six

It's Monday. It's overcast (which is unusual here), but at least it's not as cold as it was about a week ago when I took this photograph (which happens to have made it to ABC7 Storm TRACK WEATHER PIC OF THE WEEK status yesterday)


Two of the three dogs actually slept in their dog houses last night. That means that Terry and I slept better. ;)  Not that I don't love my dogs...

Marcia DeCoster named this the Sharing the Love blog hop.  That means that I should share some things I really really love. And I will. Doubt me?



Today, I am adding 30 grams of my absolute favorite precious-metal plated Delicas to the "mixed bag":  Ten grams each of DB0031 (24 karat gold-plated), DB0038 (palladium-plated), and DB0551 (sterling silver-plated).

I love looking at these beads, working with these beads, wearing these beads in finished pieces.  You will too.  For now, stop by all seven of our blogs during the hop:



Each of us is having one or more giveaways over the course of a week. Each of us has her own rules for entering her giveaway.

Here at Sand Fibers, the idea is to leave a comment below (be sure there is a way for me to contact you: email, etsy/artfire store name, blog, FB page).  Only one comment per blog post per person, please.  BUT you can comment on each day's blog post for multiple entries.

Hop along! Be well!
