Craft club in Hershey - join us!

Originally I set out to create a jewelry designing club here in Hershey PA. Specifically because I truly enjoyed the one that I belonged to in Puerto Vallarta this past year. So with facebook as my means, I rounded up some old friends and new ones. Others suggested a craft club and so that is what has transformed. We have some knitters, jewelry makers, quilters, needle point, etc. Anyone is welcome to join us! Just add me on facebook with a message regarding the club. Here's a link to my page, the DUCHESSE collection.

YES!!

Well like I thought, it was an EXCITING competition. So many beautiful entries by so many talented designers. While I didn't quite get the top winning prize, I did WIN in a subcategory! The category PATRIOTIC is where I tied for first place! I won about a 1/2 pound of COOL beads from Happy Mango Beads. Wish I would have taken a picture before I started sorting and organizing those cute little guys. But in case you're wondering what they have in terms of COOL beads, here's a picture I took when one of my Happy Mango Bead orders arrived!

Crossing my fingers and my toes in hopes of winning a beading contest with my favorite supplier on line Happy Mango Beads. Even if I don't win, it's going to be EXCITING to see all the entries! If you are on facebook, you can add Happy Mango Beads by "liking" their page. Check out their photos for the contest and you'll see all those creative artisans!

The theme for the contest is 4th of July! So here's my spin on it:

Wish me lots of luck!
