    February 24th, 2010

    Dear Monica,

    What a crazy Winter it has been regarding weather. I almost feel like we didn't really have one in the Northwest. I suppose we deserve this nice Winter after last year's crazy snowy one. I feel for you others who had that crazy snowy one this year. Either way, we are now closer to Spring! It's almost March! Our crocus and daffodils are up and tulips are half way up!

    So, I have been firmly planted in my office chair for the past few days doing data entry galore. We have decided to utilize Etsy (online handmade marketplace website) for selling our beads and jewelry. Many reasons, I'll touch on that more below. Keep in mind, all items are one of a kind and once they're gone, they're gone. I'd get over there if you want first pick.

    I also have my jewelry class and parties information finally figured out. It's going to be a lot of fun. More information below.

    If you haven't been to our Facebook Page, I suggest you take a look. I've been adding a lot of great features and update it regularly. Here is a link. I'd love it if you became a fan!

    Gotta run for now, I have shipments to get out and I want to get this sent before I go home. Hope all is well in your world and that you are leading your thoughts with love and hope.

    Best wishes, Monica and Scott



    etsy Our Jewelry and Beads now on Etsy!
    A Lot of New Goodies to View!

    Most of you have probably heard of Etsy, but for those who haven't it is a website for artists and crafters to sell their handmade goods. It is not done in auction format. I have not been happy with eBay since they took away the Feature option. It will probably be a very rare occurance for us to list on eBay again. Etsy is now the main selling venue for most beadmakers and jewelry designers that I know.

    You will like how we can create categories on our page and you can opt to Favorite us so you can easily check to see what new items we have listed.

    Selling from our website, I always had to resize and rename photos, make thumbnail images, I could only use one photo, and it all just seemed to take forever. This new way allows full size images, lots of tagging for search engine optimization, and what finally got me to switch was the ease of sharing our items on our blog and our Facebook Page.

    I'll be happy to help if you have any questions.

    You can click the picture to go to our Etsy page. This picture shows some of our current items. Enjoy!


    ccclassespart My Jewelry Classes and Parties Brochure is Ready!
    Lots of Choices!

    Take a look at our brochure, gather your friends, family, co-workers, or group and give me a call to set up a time that will work for you. It will be a lot of fun!

    cctulips Tulip Festival in April, but Tulips will be early!
    At least I think so. It's lookin' that way.

    This warm winter is sure making for an early Spring! Not sure what the Tulip Festival coordinators are thinking about that. As I drive through the Skagit Valley, I can see that the tulips are half way up. Um...it's February!

    Whenever they come, it will be as gorgeous as only those fields can be. The events will still be a great time, I just encourage you to do some research before coming up in April and being disappointed if the tulips are already cut.

    Click the photo to go to the Tulip Festival website. Any info you need will be there.

    Scott made this glass tulip. It will be up on Etsy tomorrow! I have a few other up right now. I love these. What a great little gift. Great for the windowsill.


    logs My "You Don't See This Everyday" photo column
    Logs are cool, so are tugboats.

    Darn, this picture didn't show how cool it really is, but Scott and I always stop what we're doing and step outside to watch the logs go by. I can't believe how long of a pack they can pull!
