What's Your Weapon of Choice?
Well, about a month ago (time flies! yikes!), I posted about my new Weapon of Choice series. Since then, it's grown quite a bit, and I'm having a ton of fun with it! Thought I'd take some time today and debut some of the newer weapons in my crafty arsenal. Can you spot yours?
For the musicians in our midst....
For those on either side of the net...
All Weapon of Choice designs can be either necklaces or key chains. All ship free worldwide and make a great gift for yourself or that hard-to-buy-for friend! I also have the following charms available: football, baseball, stethoscope, ruler, scissors, pliers, yarn, needle, typewriter, sewing machine, rolling pin, spoon, martini, remote control, pen, handcuffs, golf bag, camera, pickup truck, airplane, television, and more that I'm sure I can't even remember right now. You can even combine charms on a custom order if you want to group a few today. Just email me!
Missed the first post? See it here.
Do you have a suggestion for another weapon? Let me know! I'd love to hear your ideas.

More Lyrical Treasury Tributes
I'm having a lot of fun making these lyrical treasuries. It's a new use for all the songs in my head, lol.
Yesterday's was Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and The Shondells, 1969
Today's is Witchy Woman, The Eagles, 1972!
Wonder what tomorrow's will be? Have a great Labor Day!

Alone Again, Naturally, 1972
I woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head. No idea why, haven't heard it in a long time. Decided to put the repetition in my head to good use and make a treasury!
Click to visit it and hope you enjoy!

New DIY Bracelet kits at Risky Beads!
If you're a beader or an aspiring one, you know that spending money on beads is like a drug. You walk into a bead store and see SO much potential and then you leave with an empty wallet. One of my biggest challenges when I started beading was understanding how to work with all different shapes and types of beads. I'm self-taught so I did A LOT of reading online and in books as well as watching tutorials on YouTube. So while buying beads upon beads upon beads wasn't necessarily the most cost-effective way to learn, it did give me a chance to experiment with everything and figure out what I like, what I'm good at, and what I ultimately want to use in my work.
In that spirit, I'm creating some new DIY Jewelry kits complete with complimentary beads and charms, stringing material, and instructions on how to get started! I listed 3 of them today...each of them is one of a kind. First up is 'Autumn:'

Next a Save the Gulf inspired kit!
And finally, Make Love Last, a kit filled with some of the prettiest earthy mauve beads I've ever seen!
details here
Each comes packaged in a cute little box with ribbon. They'd make a GREAT gift for yourself or the crafter in your life. You can even have fun with these at parties for everyone age 6 to infinity!
I'll be putting together quite a few more! Each is $9.95 or less and a great way to get your feet wet. You can view the rest of my shop here or just the supply section.
