Where inspirations come from

Making friends with all of you is still amazing to me.  I have made some of the best friends I ever have through this little blog of mine.  I so enjoy responding to all of your comments (those of you who have provided your e-mails so I can) and continuing the conversations.  I have enjoyed when we keep in touch even when our lives are so busy.  I am truly blessed.  I have some that have even exchanged phone #'s with me as I am a stay at home mom and sometimes adult voices are so needed in my world.  LOL

I have also come in contact with the most generous of friends who want to send me goodies in the mail (we all love that although I think my whining about the most restricted bead budget on the planet sometimes guilt's them a bit)  I love it all.  I also try to be a good friend who is here for any of you when you need or want me.  Although I may be a bit talky at first (my little quirk when I am feeling a bit shy...I know it doesn't make sense but that's me and I never make sense and you all should know that by now)  I really do care for you.  Oh so where was I going with this....Well last week a new friend who I have come to treasure wanted to give me a boost.  She sent me a package (which I am so not sharing right now as I know the SSoBN is reading) As you all are well aware of my reactions...yes I did cry!  I cry when I am happy, sad and mad those damn tear ducts of mine are never on a break.  Anyway when I was looking through the gorgeousness and let me tell you it was gorgeousness!  I was smacked right upside the head with an amazing inspiration bolt!  It was so awesome.  You know you all have those projects that have smacked right into a wall and you are not sure where to go. 

Well my sweet friend inspired me to finish this......

I am calling it Tidal Love and really it encompasses alot in the title.  This is the first ever Julsbead that I purchased and you all know that I stalk covet worship love her work.  She is one of these friends I have spoke of but I think you all know that.  This bead reminds me of the water of Lake Ontario where the water changes color the farther out you go and that is where my sweet hubby and I spent alot of time when we were younger.  And to my sweet friend Nancy who gave me the spark I needed whether she knew it or not.  

Oh and I so can't forget the SSoBN for making me wear this baby to bed as to keep it safe and happy!  LOL

Hugs and Blessings

Important warning for all beaders!!! UPDATE!

Update!  If anyone is wondering why I posted this please view this link!

 I know I don't usually post 2 days in a row but this was too important to let it go!

I can not post pictures due to the extreme graphic nature of this epidemic.  I just have to tell you that this could happen to you, and you, and yes it could even happen to you!

Picture the scene.... You are chatting with you bead buddy and oohhing and ahhhing over your latest bead acquisition and then it happens.   You start to notice you buddy begin to glisten.  It starts in the eyes then the teeth and finally her skin begins to show what looks like sweat.  Beware it is not sweat if you take a closer look you will see that crystals are forming and as you look up a mask of crystals has suddenly covered her face.  Her purse has grown to three times it's size and she is frantically looking for her keys.  She will then as for a glass of water.....Don't give it to her she has turned into..........

A Bead Ninja!

She will attempt to abscond with your treasures.  She has also begun to stalk your mail person.  (Attempts have been made to acquire jobs in the Postal Field but have not as of yet been successful.)

If this happens to you first thing you need to do is offer mass quantities of chocolate which will calm them long enough to offer a bead swap.  Usually this offer brings them right back to normal as they attempt to think if there is anything in their stash they would be able to offer up but.............

You have now turned into A Bead Ninja!

It is a horrible vicious cycle that needs to be addressed!

Do you have any other suggestions that may be able to stem off this epidemic?

Hugs and Blessings
