grat⋅i⋅tude noun: the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful.

We've been neglecting our blog...

there's only 24 hrs. in a day and we all need at least 30 this time of year.
The Gemalicious Gals did not want Thanksgiving to go by without acknowledging our delight in having the opportunity to cross paths with great folks on Etsy, Twitter, and Facebook.
Much gratitude and love,

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.
And stay tuned for our giveaway~next week!

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

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!
