Stay tuned for our 1st giveaway of beads!!

Gotta say my daughter is a bead lush!
Just look at the pile of destash beads she gave me to list in our artfire shop!!!
We have decided...that it would take years to add all these beads~so wouldn't it be nicer to  have bead giveaways?

Who would like to win a booty of destash beads???
Ah Yay! Exactly!

There are so many different types, qualities & colors we are having a hard time deciding how to pair them for our first giveaway.
                                                                                                                                                           


















 Tell us what you think: 

 Mix -n- match?

Color pair-up?

Similiar shapes together?

All focals giveaway?

Stone quality together?

Maybe themes-
like breast cancer beads, fall beads etc?

Several whole strands together?

Or the one we like most...WYSIWYG:
We pile a bunch of beads into a surprise bag and the winner of the giveaway gets to go through the beads like it's christmas time!

mmm we have lots to decide.

Help us along by leaving a comment on what you would like to see in first our giveaway of beads.

Wednesday Wants

AKA Gemalicious Drooling!

Gemalicious Beads~beautiful metamorphose

Gemalicious and Beadalicious metamorphose into~

Gemalicious Beads!

YES we are merging Etsy shops!

Over the next week you will see our delicious stones filtering from Gemalicious and Beadalicious into Gemalicious Beads on Etsy.

If you are wondering why we came to the decision to merge, well that's easy! We decided

the benefit to our customers outweighed every reason we had for not combining shop

s. With Gemalicious Beads, we will have 1 shop to focus on, leaving us more time to find the unique quality stones you need and provide you with even better customer service (if that is possible:) You will be getting the undivided love and attention of Amber and Teri all wrapped up in a nice place!

Please visit us, heart us, and follow us on twitter to see what else is in the oven.

Love to all our superlicious customers, past, present and future

Wow loads of great ideas for the bead give away! Here are just a few from the American Craft Guide post, click on persons name to see their shop!

Stacey Roman: beautiful beads, I would make a few braceletes for myself and a necklace for my mom for mothers day.

Tracy Achtelik: Love the colors! I would embellish an embroidery project with them.

Desiree: I’d make a series of pieces with an elemental theme, earth, fire, wind, water. Necklaces and earrings in sets. Almost a Captain Planet kind of thing without the heart power.

Elizabeth Polansky: Wow what a stunning assortment! Those pearls and smoke quartz would make for some awesome chainmaille bracelet and matching earrings. I see some yummy wire wrapped brio earrings with those peridot and topaz too. The possibilities are just endless with that collection!

Tera Vermillion: Good morning! For starters, I love the purple faceted teardrop…I would most likely put them on the oxidized sterling silver ear wires I just ordered from etsy ….the peridot rondelles would go perfectly with green pearls I have also bought from etsy…and it’s a toss up but i have an aunt who is a 5 yr breast cancer survivor who would love earrings made from either the blue topaz or the smoky quartz! And I would definitely make her a necklace using some of the pearls. She would be honored to receive anything made from a mother/daughter team and from a “fellow survivor”!

Michele: Oh boy those are lovely, wouldn’t mind having those to make something pretty out of for myself!

Marilyn Southmayd AKA GrandmaMarilyn: I would make a beautiful necklace, earrings and bracelet set. They are gorgeous.

Jane: I am seeing a fabulous necklace with some gems and that silver pendant, and some earrings with those luscious bri’s! And I will say that I have purchased before from both beadalicious and gemalicious and their gems are super high quality, you should check out their awesome jewelry too

Mandy: I would make some beautiful danglies and mix the gorgeous briollette with freshwater pearls.

GOSH we loved all the wonderful comments and ideas that were left  from these creative artists! 

You can check out ALL the comments and ideas on American Craft Guide.

WINNER OF THE GIVE AWAY..DRUM ROLL PLEASE....RATTA RATTA TA DA 

Kelli of Sage and Grace Designs! 

Kelli commented: These colors are GORGEOUS together!!! They really represent the earth: water, sand, grass, sky & stars. You could do SO many different things with this generous amount.I would make a few of my earth friendly friends a little pair of earrings for Mother’s Day, and then would make one BIG necklace to sell on my etsy site. A portion of the profit would then go to seaturtles.org

Can't wait to see what she makes. Hopefully we'll get some pics to post here :)

OBTW:
"Kiss me I'm Irish" where did that come from?

Beside just being loads of kissy fun on St. Patty's, part kissy ~ part Green beer of course! (that is T's take ;-)
It is a reference to the Blarney Stone. Kissing the Blarney stone brings you good luck so if you can't kiss the stone the next best chance of getting good luck is "kissing an Irish person." And of course everyone is Irish on St. Patty's Day!
