I got to meet Andrew Thornton!

Picture me standing on top of a hill yelling this! :)  

He is at the Best Bead show just outside Baltimore this weekend. (You can still go and say hi!)

Andrew is so gracious and welcoming. I did my "Hi, my name is Courtney and I follow your blog" thing and he was so nice! Thank you Andrew. 

To be able to actually see and touch those amazing Green Girl Studio beads! What a treat. I went overboard,  my daughter didn't help this with her "i love this one, you can make me a necklace with this one!" :)

The "collection"

My daughter fell in love with this castle. It is spectacular and the plan is to hang it on silk ribbon with a few swarovski's hanging below, princess colors of course.

These were just too cute to not get. 

I am loving these!

Again, thank you Andrew for being so gracious!

(totally made my weekend!)

Off to play! :)

My new favorites!

Hello all!

Well, after all was said and done, I did get more time to create and I would like to share my two new favorites! (apart from my wonderful gold polymer clay necklace) I think that each time I create a new necklace, that it becomes my new favorite. I purchased these wonderful Green Girl Studio pendants but wasn't sure what exactly I was going to create with them. Both necklaces went through several iterations and here is what I ended up with. One is wonderful and delicate and the other is a bit more substantial.

I would love to know what you all think.

I also entered a contest that my friend Jeannie put up on her blog and website. I am actually really psyched about what I created. Can't show them yet - voting will begin the end of the month. Check back!!!
