Also.....  if you have a shop such as Etsy who offers coupon codes, please use a code that begins with LMAJ.  I will be offering 20% off so my shop coupon code will be LMAJ20.  Thanks for helping with consistency.

Special Note:  There seems to be a little mix up with today's post.  Looks like Kelli and I are both taking this day.  A bit ironic considering what a surprise it was for me to read what she wrote about me.  It made me tear up.......  Thanks so much Kelli....  I LOVE it and will LOVE wearing it.

PS  Sorry for stomping on top of your post with mine....

Giveaway and calling those folks back for a little more about a group sale....

First the giveaway.....

These fab earrings were donated by our own Kelli Pope.  The are made from hand hammered antiqued brass with violet patina-ted copper beads from MissFickleMedia.


Being that this giveaway is being offered on the 10th anniversary of a tragic day that faced our country, I thought it only appropriate to remember those who died during the September 11 attack on United States as well as the survivors and the families whose lives changed drastically.  Many of us were old enough to feel the impact that that day had on us not only then, but for the years that followed.  Here's a picture of me quite sometime ago with my sister Colleen.  That view behind us no longer exists.   I was teaching on that terrifying day.  We were instructed to act as if nothing happened.  My sister lives right outside of the city and my brother-in-law worked in the city.  I could not get through to them because all of the phone lines were tied up. There was a great sense of relief when I heard that Mitch was not in the city on that day.
  



Today, I ask that you take a moment out to remember those killed, those that survived, and families devastated by loss and leave a comment about anything that you would like regarding that memory.  Some of us as individuals have dealt with extreme  tragedies in our own personal lives, but this tragedy was something that we, as a nation, experienced together.  If you were too young to really remember, I ask that you take a moment of silence (something we all should do) and let us know that you did.


Feel free to spread the "sentiment" on any two of the following:  blogs, facebook, twitter etc. and let us know each time that you did.  Each individual comment (not 3 comments in 1 comment) will be counted as one comment.


If you do not have a social networking site of your own, please go to our website, sign our guestbook regarding this giveaway and come back to let us know.  In addition, for your third entry, go to any of our members blogs or shops and either leave a comment on this blog post or come back here to leave a comment about the shop you visited and something that caught your eye.


So, whether you have a social network or you do not, you have up to three chances to enter.


Next on the agenda......


For those who said that they were interested in joining together to have a "group sale" involving those of us who create handmade, create handmade with handmade, etc. I am going to try to get a trial run together for this Friday, 9/16.  Please mark your calendars.  If all goes as planned, you will be able to link your shops to the post on that day.  That will only be for practice.... not the real deal.


As for questions generated by some of our readers asking if this included small beginnings of creating your own handmade, the answer is "yes."  If you create items using others handmade beads/components and give credit to those who created the components/beads in your piece that will count as well.  The purpose is not to only have a sale, but also to spread the words in our motto:

~creating handmade with handmade~

The tentative date for this sale will be either Sunday, Oct. 2nd or Tuesday, Oct. 4th.  I will leave more instructions on the practice run post this coming Friday.  I hope you join us.  If you have read this and do not know what I am referring to, please click HERE to be taken to the original post.


Lastly, please join us by submitting your pieces to our ArtSpark challenge and share your sentiments with us.  You can get to that by clicking the links on the side bar.

As always,

Thank-you for reading.
