Holiday Bling Blog Hop #3

Who wants to wait a whole 344 days to celebrate again? HMMMMM? Definitely not Marlene or Shelley of the MarShellSwaps Facebook Group.  They looked at the calendar and realized there are fantastic holidays, from so many amazing cultures, to celebrate all year, so why not?

 After signing up, partners were chosen.  My HBBH3 partner is Tammy Everly, (TTE Designs).  We chose St. Patrick's Day!  Here is what Tammy sent to me:
There's a tiny jewelry box, some p/c beads, 3 pairs of earrings, a blinking light shamrock, and some glittered shamrocks.  Ready for St. Patricks day celebrations!  Thank you Tammy!  I hope you enjoyed the gifts I sent to you.

    Happy St. Patty's Day!

    Wow, what a wonderfully festive and green gift exchange! Lucky you ;) Lucky the both of you!

    I love St. Patty's as my mom is Irish. The earrings look so pretty -- and a flashing shamrock you say? Now that's fun!

    May your blessings be as many as the shamrocks that grow!

    Happy Hopping,
    TJ

BSBP#8: The Big Reveal

Right to the good stuff..... Made with Rhonda's beaded bead, crystals, and agate rondelles. Made with Rhonda's (she made it) clasp and lampwork focal. Bracelet made with brown rainbow bugle beads supplied by Rhonda. Bracelet is based on a tutorial, Toskana by SeeBead .  I used Czech twins instead of tila or tile beads.  I didn't have enough tile beads so the twins made a wonderful substitution. Soup I started with. Thank you Lori for hosting a wonderful 8th swap and blog hop!  Thank you Rhonda for a most enjoyable soup!  To see other simmering soups and creations visit the BSBP blog for the list of participants (about 500)!

Problem: Northridge Publishing Company (Bead Trends Magazine)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I was a long time reader of Bead Trends Magazine .  It was a publication filled with beautiful handmade jewelry and inspiration.  But now the not so beautiful side to Northridge Publishing Company.   Bead Trends last issue was for July.  I don't know about anyone else, but Northridge Publishing Company did not notify me that the magazine would no longer be published. I used my credit card to set up monthly transactions for the magazine. Evidence of Bead Trends disappeared from all social media outlets.  So I went to the website and deleted my credit card information.  Charges continued to show up on my statement for August, September, and October.  If a charge shows up for November....... I contacted Northridge Publishing Company several times via their chat room.  No response.  I sent two emails.  Finally today, I received an email from their customer service.

One Crayon Color Challenge Reveal!

My favorite color as a child was bittersweet orange.  Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime came up with idea for a blog hop/challenge just using one color (and its various hues) from a basic crayon box. I managed to finish two bracelets and a necklace.  The top bracelet is a right angle weave orange seed beads embellished with 3mm cubes in shades of orange.   The necklace is done with orange cat eye beads, fire opal crystals, adventurine, and ice beads in shades of orange.  The second bracelet is a leather wrapped, copper bangle which used up most of the leftover beads.  This was a lot of fun!
