Wow... I looked at my number of sales on ETSY this afternoon. I am now up to 143! I never thought I would get there! So... only 7 more sales until I hit 150. So I am offering a prize. If you are the lucky 150th sale, you will be able to chose a bead for FREE from my DISCOUNT section in my ETSY store! And as always, spend over $50USD with me and you get free shipping!

26th October: Hear Ye, Hear Ye - Girlfriday1962 is having a sale! Check out my DISCOUNTED STUFF for items that have had their prices slashed by anything up to 50%! Yes, you heard right anywhere from 10% to 50% off. Why you ask? Well with the silly season fast approaching I have a stack of new beady goodies just bursting to get their pictures up  on ETSY and ARTFIRE

Think I am suffering from a case of beader's block this week... so comment and give me some inspiration... the more madcap the better!

I was reading on facebook (yeah I signed up there too!) and read with interest a link Marcy Lamberson posted about colours. It had a link to a sight with some fun colour matching games (competitive bunch aren't we?). It got me to thinking... where do I get my colour inspiration from? All over the place really... but I do have a cool widget on my MAC (yes... I am a 'converted' Mac fanatic now)
