NEW KITS! NEW KITS! NEW KITS! NEW KITS! NEW KITS! NEW KITS!



My lucky students get first shot at my new kits! Due to popular request (fellow blingsters ALWAYS wanting to buy my kits and I had NONE), I am offering kits to all the students in my Swarovski classes in Tucson. After Tucson my kits will be available on the website. They include crystals, pearls, Sassy Silkies (of course) and some new metal patina charms ya won’t find anywhere (because I create them!). I love combining Swarovski sparkle with dull, antique looking textures and colors.

COUNTDOWN TO TUCSON 29 DAYS!

SWAROVSKI HEAVEN
Here's a picture of my silk purse class for Swarovski.
The studio is bustling with excitement over the big Swarovski Tucson show in 29 days! http://www.create-your-style.com/website.php?id=/events_fairs/events/tucson2008.htm
The first of my 3 classes is 29 days away! I have my helpers, Sage & Gaia, putting my class kits together. They’re not so good at counting the crystals but help in sooooooooooo many other ways! (No extra charge for the stray dog hairs). The Swarovski event is the most exciting in Tucson! A trip through their showroom will inspire you for the next millennium! Not to mention their classes. These teachers ROCK (if I may say so myself). They are the creativity leaders, many of them authors and TV personalities. I consider it an honor to be able to hang with them and learn their techniques and tips. Check out the website, I'd love to have you in one of my classes!

Happy 2008!

Greetings fellow blingsters!
WOW! The past couple of months have been amazing. 2007 sure ended with a BANG!

THANKS ELLEN DEGENERES
Our Santa turned out to be Ellen Degeneres! James, my husband and I won 4 tix to her 12 Days of Giveaways! We both won 2 tix for 2 different shows so we packed up 2 of our dear friends and headed off to Hollywood to play. It was an amazing experience just being in her audience but then the prizes came…I won a bag of cookies form Wolfgang Puck (he was one of the guests), a beautiful coffee table book of animals by Andrew Zuckerman (another guest), a years subscription to Netflix, $700 Ralph Lauren sheet set and a Sleep Number bed ($2500)! Now the funny thing is we already have a Sleep Number bed and are HUGE fans! Just love it! So I will be selling my new Ellen bed (anyone interested in a queen, contact me).
James was on Ellen’s last show and won a digital camera, set of luggage and a trip to Puerto Rico! Ya-ya baby! So we’re off for a lovely jaunt to that sunny spot next month. Thanks Ellen!

BEADS BAUBLES AND JEWELS
The shows I taped for Beads Baubles and Jewels are currently airing on PBS. http://www.beadsbaublesandjewels.com/
Check your local station for show times. If you don’t get this FAB show, send PBS an email requesting it. They do a great job in listening to their viewers. I am hooked on this show! So many great projects, guests and inspiration! Check it out.

Happy Creating!
