We wish you...
a wonderful holiday season. We hope that all of you can be with those you care about. No matter what you are celebrating, I think this is a great time of year to just give of your self to those who may not have as much as you do.


There have been times when I have to go paycheck by paycheck to get by, but then I know there are people out there with no job, home, food, or a warm/clean place to sleep. It's a great time to realize how much we have, especially as Americans. I think it’s so great how many people give a little extra. It can be some extra change to a Bell Ringer outside a grocery store, a special gift off an Angel Tree at the mall, or even visiting someone you haven’t seen in awhile. I Hope we can all remember how we feel when we give and who it affects and remember to give a little extra in February or May, not just December!


I’m not a saint, but I love making someone’s life a little bit better by serving them in a way that needs to be done. We can make this world a little bit better by not being greedy and selfish.


I love working with all of you and hope I am serving you to the best of my ability here at the All About Beads Office.

Earrings

Tifani also made these earrings that have Pietersite Nuggets, Diagonal Drilled Luster, and 12mm Brown Striped Round on them.

Love them!

Making it Your Own Design

One of our newest Consultants, Tifani, designed this long necklace. It is similar to Diane's brown one on the Necklace display, but it varies a little bit. That's what's so great about beading. You can take someone's design and change it up a little bit to make it more yours!

The different beads Tifani used are the Black Lace Agate, 12mm Brown Striped Round, and Tiny Silver Lined Crystal Seed Beads(in certain areas).

Stretchy Bracelet

Alisa wore this in our office the other day.

It is the New Metallized Round with Flowers and 16mm Black Faceted all on a Stretchy.

It's kind of a chunky bracelet, but I didn't think it was TOO chunky for me!

SO SIMPLE, CLASSY, AND CUTE!

I want to copy this for myself. Thanks for the idea Alisa!

Chain Earrings

JaNae came in and showed me these beautiful earrings that she made using the Multi-drop Lace Earrings with the Small Silver Chain.

She cut the chain the same length. If I'm correct she did 6 strands of chain. She then attached the chain by skipping about 3 holes on the Multi-drop Lace Earrings.

Then she took one strand of Small Chain and attached it in the middle to come straight down with a small silver bead on the end of it. So amazing! You could put any type of bead on the there. Even any color would look great!

I was so impressed by these earrings. She just said that she sat down and put them together…. like “no big deal”. Thanks JaNae for making us all look bad with your incredible talent to make these types of earrings!

Headpin Earrings


Lauren came in wearing these dangly earrings. I wanted to see them and noticed she just used headpins and looped them on a Watch Connector ring (You could use a split ring as well).


She has the 8mm Riverstone, 8mm Swirl Rose, Diagonal Drilled Luster Cube, and Small Metallized Drum all on there to make these earrings.


I'm an earring person and this was super cute!


I'm going to have to copy these for MYSELF! :)

Glass Beads and Gemstones... TOGETHER

Connie came in wearing this beautiful long necklace I HAD to share it with everyone.

She used: 10mm Pietersite Round, 6mm Olive Swirls, Flat Oval Swirls- browns, Picture Jasper Chips, 6mm Natural Wood Round, and Tiny Dark Brown Seed Beads.

So pretty! I would have never thought to put the Swirl Olive in there with the chips, but it looks AWESOME. I'm so amazed how people come up with such great designs.
