updates and reminders

this really has been a week for information and an amazing giveaway... 

first off, if you haven't seen the interview with brenda schweder, i encourage you to take a look... an innovative artist and writer - she shares herself, some terrific goods and information about her new tool! you have until october 14th to enter -

there is an update on the art bead love tour - 

the lovely mellisa of chinook jewelry currently has the chain of art beads... she will be posting her giveaway soon - 

in addition - stacie did a wonderful post on torches... as a person who never made the plunge into the 'right' torch, i now have many that don't quite do the job... i was trying to save money, but in the end - meaning after years - i find that it would have definitely paid off had i started out right...
