Just wondering....

Fleur De lis Give Away

I didn't make these but aren't they fun? I found them at the AKS Gem Show last Friday. I picked up a pair for me and one to give away on my blog. All you have to do is leave a comment with a way to contact you. I will use the lucky number generator to pick a winner on Wednesday April 28th.
Definition of a Fleur De Lis:
"Fleur de Lis" or "the flower of life" in French. ... translated from French as "lily flower")
It also a symbol for the New Orleans Saints.
After Hurricane Katrina it was used a symbol of rebirth in New Orleans.

Bead Cruise 2011

Get Ready To Sail. Registration for Bead Cruise 2011 is under way. Heather has gathered a group of Rock Star Instructors for next year's bead cruise. I will be teaching along side Dallas Lovett, Marcia DeCoster, Jean Campbell, Tracy Stanley, and Heather Powers.
I have long admired Dallas Lovett's designs with wire and seed beads.

Marcia DeCoster is the Master of Right Angle Weave.
Jean Campbell is the founding editor of Beadwork magazine
You will love Tracy's classes! She makes metal sing.
Heather is the working force behind the Bead Cruise. She is a master of polymer clay and jewelry design.

I am looking forward to teaching two new designs next year.

My favorite things about the Bead Cruise, sailing the high seas. Making memories to treasures. Connecting with old friends and making new ones. Beading and shopping during the open beading sessions. Eating dinner together and sharing the fun we had during the day. Visit beadcruise.com and make your reservation today. For updates become a beadcruise fan on Facebook.
Thanks for stopping by. Beverly

Happy Easter!
