When it rains...

... it pours!

I've been quiet for a little while - first we were on vacation, then I've been trying to get everything in order back home, then life interfered a bit.

Tonight, when I started to write a post I thought it will be just one. Instead, I ended up with about 4 new posts. Mind you - some really short, but posts nonetheless!

So what's new this time?

Well, after a whole month without much jewelry making (designing in my head, but nothing on the table - yet) I decided to get back into gear. How would that be, you ask? By entering to participate in a series of new blog hops and events.

Holiday Bling Blog Hop :: All Pretty Things
 
First one is Marlene's Holiday Bling Blog Hop - you can read all the details right here. Handmade ornaments exchange - could there be something more fun than that? I don't think so! And rightfully around October, so it gets one into gears for the Holidays.

 
Then, while browsing Marlene's blog, I re-discovered her post about Tanya's Free Beads for Blogging event. Of course I've completely forgot about it - so I quickly entered and I now keep my fingers crossed.


What else is there? Yes - Jennifer's (of Glass Addictions) splendid idea of a Charm Swap. I've already started to think on how to make the charms, forward thinking, eh? Nah - I'll probably make them last minute, nothing like the last-minute panic attack to create (only half-joking, you know?).

Yeah, when it rains... it truly pours.

What challenges have you entered lately? I need more :)

  2. Thank you for the kind "promo" for my blog. The HBBH (easier than typing it all out) is going to be a kick. It's great that you two oh so talented people are partnered, and it was an absolute luck of the draw!

    1. You're very welcome - the more we spread the word, the more fun we'll all have! And yes - it's a wonderful idea, I already know what I want to send Therese, it's a matter of finding a moment to sit down and work on it. I am thrilled to have Therese as a partner, she's such a wonderful artist and person!
