My earrings are featured in Bead Style Magazine! & a GIVEAWAY

Can you believe it?!?  Lots of the happy dance happening in the studio this weekend.

Here's the story:  I was contacted by Naomi Fujimoto, Senior Editor of Bead Style Magazine, back in November 2011 about featuring a pair of my earrings in their March 2012 issue.  These earrings -


So I packaged them up and shipped them off to be photographed, but I was afraid to let myself believe this was really going to happen.  I kept telling myself not to get excited, don't tell anyone yet, they might have to cut your earrings due to space issues or something like that.  Basically, I've made my life a living hell worrying over the details.  But Friday morning, guess what I found in my mailbox?


And even better - Look at page 16!



Yep, those are my earrings!  This is heady stuff for a small town girl like myself!  Needless to say I have been flashing my magazine at family and friends all weekend.  I have since renamed the earrings Naomi as a small thank you to the lady who made this possible.  If you get a chance, check the magazine out.  It will be arriving in bookstores across the U.S. on January 31.
