Last year was my first year participating. It was so much fun, I've really been looking forward to doing it again. If you are interested in participating or just want to know more about it click on the picture above. Meet Jasper. If you are the winner of my giveaway, he will be coming to stay with you. Anyone can enter, but if you have an active blog, all the better. I must have a way to contact you , either via email or blog. I will be drawing a winner, using the random number doodad, on Feb 14th. Winner will be contacted and posted on Feb 15th. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! For a chance to win Jasper, you just need to leave a comment on this post. Jasper is a baby dragon and is still far too young to have sprouted his wings, so he will be relying on his magic carpet to get to you.

It started out all innocent like. I wanted to try my hand at some buttons. I figured it would be a good opportunity to try some of the surface techniques from this book by Ellen Marshall. (Love it, by the way. What I wouldn't give to take a class. OK, I'm wandering again.....) Back to the buttons. I was trying to decide the best size to make. I wanted to go big but not too big. So I thought maybe I will make something to show as an example of what you can do with these large buttons. I decided to go with crochet, since I am pretty decent with that, thanks to my late Grandma Dubberke. (She tried like hell to teach me to knit, but I sucked so badly that she finally settled on crochet. I don't think I let her down.) There I go again... OK, back to the subject. I started with this neckwarmer and fell in love with the pattern. (Thank you Danielle, for being my model. I know I told you I would crop the photos, but these were just too cute :-) Then this one... Then, I had to ...

Please allow me to introduce you to........ Nyx .... Astral... and Jasper. (You'll be seeing more of Jasper in a couple of weeks) Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

I'm really pleased with how this came out. Polymer clay pendant with PMC accent strung with turquoise chips.

This little guy is either trying to figure out what he's got here or.......................... He's gazing into his "crystal" beach ball to find out what the future holds. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! See you in 2010!!

A must have strung this one 6 times before I liked it. Image transfer pendant. The pendant has alot more green than shows in these photos. (Still practicing with the new light box.) Love the look of the emerald chips but what a pain in the butt they are to string!

it's a Christmas surprise. Just thought I would show you a couple of things that the folks are getting for Christmas. I haven't named either one of these guys cause I want Mom & Mike to pick their own. AND, I think Alaska has finally decided to go for the White Christmas this year. Dec, 15, 2009
