These are so under lock and key now!!!!!

So I have nothing new to show for BTW but I thought I would give my fellow Bead Ninja's a bit of eye candy to satisfy them (before viewing please have chocolate ready as to stem off the monster)

This is a picture of my seed bead stash on the start of this year....

Yes it is organized but hey it wasn't that hard as you can see!  Well I did win (yes I know your jealous but I really don't have any idea why I have been so lucky) this from Juli @ Julsbeads remember? (OH AND she is having a giveaway now too!)

And....I got this gorgeous set from Lori @ Out of the Flames

So first I want to send the biggest hugest hugs to both of these gals for being the friends that they are ( you have both helped me more that I could possibly express...OK maybe I could but it would be too mushy and you would all be on sugar overload by the time I finished sooo) Here is what my stash of seedy goodness looks like today.....

These are now under lock, key and armed guard (oh she may be limping now but she is 17lbs of furry fury for sure)  As I am well aware that there are 2 very special women who are contemplating hopping in the car and stalking me (coffee is waiting).

Oh and I need to tell you all I am getting used to the meds and you have all been so great.  Also because my sweet hubby has put new software on my computer I am unable to send emails until he fixes it.  I can receive them but not reply and that is also causing an issue with those blogs that require e-mail address in comment section.  So Jeannie I love the branches and Emma I loved your bead tray today.  (if you read either of their blogs please let them know)

Hugs and Blessings

Facebook Ate my Saturday!

Yes I made the jump.  If I didn't have enough trouble navigating through Blogger and The Hive and trying to keep up with all the updates from my friends I know have a Facebook account.  The time sucking that it has is amazing for instance, Friday I got my hair cut (actually fixed after 6months of trying to grow out the hack job I received the last time) at a new salon here in town.  I totally got so caught up in Facebook that when I went to take a shower I had totally forgotten about it and thought something was wrong when I started to wash my hair!  OMG!  So for all of you who don't know what I am talking about if you decide to set up an account be prepared for a few hours of playing around your first day at least.  I will say that it's awesome to connect with beady friends that do not have a blog and see all the gorgeous work that bead designers have out there.  Oh and one other plus is that I can see if anyone is tattling on me when I write a post about my favorite designers...Ahem Jennifer!

Thank you all so much for the overwhelming response I received for my New Feature idea.  Shelby is insistent that I not listen to you because you are all very very bad influences.  I have decided that I may or may not attempt this again but that I will be adding to my pattern reviews a "how tipsy should can you be" rating.  I think that is only fair and that way I won't be wasting good bead $ on booze!

So on to Sunday.  With yet again all the bad influence out there in the blogging world I decided to venture into this area.  ORGANIZATION!  Argh.  And while I did not get very good shots of the mess I do have before and after pictures.  So this is how I blew about 3 hours on Sunday.  With the help of some pretty curious and sticky fingers I might add.

Ain't he just tooo cute?

Waving to my blog friends!

This is all by bead stash!  Except the bottom drawer of the white file.

I did get to Lowe's and found some cool findings that I have an idea for but haven't taken pictures yet. 

Hugs and Blessings
