Welcome to the 2nd Annual Bead Hoarders Blog Hop!

I am a bead hoarder and I dont want to join a 12 step program so i enjoy my hoard and share it with other through 
 https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheBeadHoardersDestashGroup/
which i started to help destash my avalanche of beads
n
not my hoard (cjs)  but my house is coming in a close second to this lol
I love beads  glorious beads! Boy am I sick but I know you are too!!!







lots of beads and these are just some of mine  never mind the ones i sell on the bead hoarders' destash group  those are in the living room, dining room my sons bedroom etc.  this is crazy
I'm having a big sale tonight by the way !
https://www.facebook.com/events/641291069326232/?ref=4

some of my  pieces i have created 
I really have too many favorites its like giving away my children when they sell but I need the money to buy more beads?












By the way they are for sale if i can part with them!

Today is the reveal for Octoberfest 2014  . I love the crisp autumn days and the cool nights, leaves of every color from green to orange to yellow and  the relief from the heat of the summer.
Halloween brings back wonderful memories of trick or treat and lots of great candy to eat
polymer clay acorns made from a real acorn that i molded
fall jewelry made for Blu mudd challenge

I so love the fall, but it means that winter is on the horizon with the challenges of SNOW and cold weather , time to hibernate!

CHICKLETS AHOY


I was happy to join Toltec jewels in her chicklet blog hop.She sent out Sue beads chicklets to 44 people to work with

As usual I procraftinated to the last minute last night and put together a necklace which did not work out as i wanted

the beads were too small and went under the chicklet and the wire showed at the center so i started over again and made a simple but elegant bracelet

Hopefully ive learned my lesson to start earlier but i do love how the bracelet turned out and shows off the chicklet
my thanks to Rita for including me in her hop
