Nealay and I both had projects featured in the book Creative Beading Vol. 8. So we are going to be offering this book signed by both of us. They only ordered a limited quantity so this will be a very special opportunity that only a few lucky customers will get a chance to buy.

We will also be offering a small quantity of the same gift bag that Soft Flex Company handed out in the Teen Choice Awards Gift Lounge. This is perfect for a kid or teen in your life that you would love to share the art of beading with as a present. Boys and girls like to make jewelry, so don't count boys out!

We have a bunch of other really fun things planned for the show so please tune in and check us out!

Children's Action Alliance - Through The Eyes of a Child Silent Auction

My husband is wonderful. I know, I know... most wives think that their husbands are wonderful, but mine really is. He works as a Research Associate at Children's Action Alliance. He spends a great deal of time thinking of how he can make the world a better place. His organization advocates for laws that make sense for the children of Arizona. 

Every year they have a big fundraiser called "Through the Eyes of a Child" (TEOC). This year in particular is a pivotal year because they are celebrating their 25th anniversary. In order to support their event, I personally donated an autographed copy of Show Your Colors (my book), a Soft Flex Trio and a custom jewelry design to go into their silent auction. I hope that my donation will raise much needed funds to keep this organization happy and healthy. If you are interested in going to this event, you can purchase a ticket through the CAA website.
