And I have received another shipment of Graphic 45 Botanical Tea, as well as Good Ol' Sport ( the plaids) and By the Sea. But this will probably be all that I can get ... most of what I bought was the last in stock. So don't wait if you want more !

BEADS ...
Some great new beads arrived this week :
 * Glass Pearls galore ... 6mm and 8mm strands as well as strands that are 10mm-16mm mixed.      Gorgeous colours !

These strands are graduated 10mm to 16mm - perfect fro chunky bracelets or graduated necklaces.
Get all the sizes you need in just one strand !!

Even navy pearls !

They look more navy in real life ... lol.

And then these new retro/vinatge coloured glass beads - 6mm and 8mm. The colours are amazing !!

Here's something interesting ... a wooden clasp for multi strands !

Now for the **SPARKLE** !!!!!!!

These connectors are sooooo pretty !
They have a hole top and bottom so you use them as a focal point in a bracelet or necklace OR use it as a pendant and then hang beads from the bottom.
Great prices too ... 18mm $2.99 and 24mm $3.99

Now the SKULLS from Swarovski - exquisite !
The details are amazing.

I have 13mm skulls for $12.99 in clear AB and Astral Pink. They would make great earrings.
And then the 19mm in clear Ab - a great pendant !
More colours coming soon.

The other new & very exciting thing is the INTERCHANGEABLE EARRINGS.
All you need to make these are your fingers. The forms are hinged so you open them, add beads, and snap them shut ! Change the beads as many times as you wish.  Just $4.29 pair.

And lastly ...  ELIZABETH'S CRAFT PEEL OFFS :
I'm not adding photos as they don't photograph that well but they are so useful ! Use them as stickers, apply to cardstock or watercolour paper and colour them with Copics or other markers, or glitter them like I did at Easter and colour. Or just apply glitter in various colours. There are so many ways to use them !
I have a lot of flowers, cars & vehicles ( great for masculine cards), Asian themes, birds, butterflies, still life designs, Christmas, etc... I also have a good variety of sheets of sentiments - birthday, anniversary, sympathy, Christmas as well as sheets of assorted greetings & sentiments - perfect for cards. Watch for samples.
Well, I think that's all for today ... I still have this week's kits to assemble, so I better get going !
Please stop in and enjoy your long weekend !!
