So long time no chat! Sorry... again...
lol
I have nothing to blame but my
procrastinating tendencies.
On the up side, I DID get a blog hop in
PLUS I managed to get my Christmas tree down … it's still in my
living room, BUT it's all boxed up and ready to get hauled back into
storage, just as soon as I move crap around in there again.
… that only took me a month to do ;)
Here's to hoping February will see me
being a bit more productive! :D
So, you are all no doubt wondering what
I've been up to.
Well...I STILL have the reorganizing I
started originally back in.. November, I think. I did progress ( sort
of) away from my desk and is spread out over my floor where I can
access everything to see that it gets where I want it.... see...?

Of course... I
get my stone, shell and half my glass sorted, and realize I'm going
to need something bigger for my metals... those little gray guys just
aren't going to cut it anymore >.< Luckily I managed to catch them on sale again and got the last one in the size I wanted!! Once I finish getting those
little drawers all filled and labeled, I have to clear off the desk
and shelves and figure out the best place to put them all :) But
hey... I'm getting there!
And... while
procrastinating over THAT, I created a NEW mess, by recycling some of
my bubble mailers :) I only got about a third done when I ran out of
glue, but here's what my new butterflies look like...

For those
wondering … and too lazy to go check the rafflecopter widgets to
see the name displayed...
1) the winner of
the Tori Sophia ear wires was Angela :) She has already received her
goodies and no doubt has used them all up by now ;)
2) the winner of
F.F. #13 was Shaiha .. and I shall get it in the mail to her soon :)
3) the 'With a
Twist' n the title of this post does indeed go with the Freebie
Friday giveaway ;)
For those of you
who don't like this idea... blame Kashmira... she suggested it ;) lol
The last day of
February is World Rare Disease Day (
http://globalgenes.org/world-rare-disease-day/
) As such, I thought we'd try a little something different with this
goodie bundle.
Most of you have
heard of the Global Genes Project & their 7000 Bracelets for Hope
campaign. Each year, thousands of blue bracelets are made and
donated to this group, who then gifts them to the mothers and
caregivers of children with rare diseases.
So this round
there's a condition … you can only enter if you're willing to do
something in exchange for winning ;)
The goodie bundle
this month is primarily blues... and whoever wins it, must make and
donate one bracelet to the Global Genes Project. They don't have to
use all of their prize, they don't even have to use ANY of it... they
can use beads from their own stash instead. They just have to make
sure their bracelet complies with the groups requirements (
http://globalgenes.org/7000-bracelets-for-hope/
) :)
Since it's still winter, I'll add some pretty silver snowflake charms to this, as well :)
