New!

So I was pretty bored the other day so I decided to play around with my beads and came up with new earrings!! They are little cherries and this green dangle one which I have yet to come up with a name, Chris was gonna call it lucky charms but the only problem is it has no four leaf clover for it to be called lucky charms... hahaha he's a silly boy. I also signed up for Flickr.... so now I have a online album of my items.

Clay Bead Making...

Clay bead making is not for me. I purchased EVERYTHING and not once have I enjoyed making beads. :0( So, not only did I ruin a perfectly good toaster oven [once you bake polymer clay in the toaster over, you CANNOT use it for making food. The clay gives off poisoness fumes] but I have all of this stuff crowding my workspace. So, I'd like to sell everything and was wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing it?

It would include:
