Great news on Fire Divas blog!
May has been somewhat insane for me. Lot of work and not so much time for beads or blog.
But I wanted to pop in and tell you about a new feature at the Fire Divas blog. As you probably know we have a daily post called Bead of the Day (or BOTD if your in a hurry). Now many of us divas have signed up for Bead of the Day project and discounts. In short it means taht if you are quick and order the featured bead within 24 hrs, you get some sort of discount.
Check it out to find out what, who and how much!

My blog and other blogs
There's a lot of blogs in my life. The present one is obviouse! I try to keep it updated, but when my real job gets in the way it's sometimes hard to find time for it.
I also have two other blogs - both in swedish - that almost dead due to lack of care.
And than I have duties on two community blogs. Monday is my day to show of my work at Handmade in Europe. It's run buy a group of european ArtFire artist. We make all sorts of stuff and have great fun together. You should really visit the blog if you fancy handmade items! In a month or so there will be a give-away too, so keep an eye on it.
On Wednesdays I've taken over the Bead of the Day on Fire Divas blog. Fire Divas is a group of 21 lampworkers from US and Canada. And me!!
Under the the heading Item of the Day (wich occurs several times each week) the author pick one of the beads that has been listed during the week. And every week it's so hard to choose!

When life gets in the way
This time i finally got quite a lot of work to do. You know, of the kind that I actually can make som money on. I've also been networking and learned my system for bookkeeping. All this is very good!
The bad thing is, I haven't had much time to torch and even less to take pictures. So no listings for a few days now. I'll try to find some time during the weekend.
In the mean time - if you want to look at some goodies - why don't you go over to the Fire Diva's blog?! Yes, I'm a Fire Diva now (yay!!!) and you can follow this groups work on the blog, on the Facebook fanpage, on Flickr or in the Fire Diva's threads in the ArtFire and Etsy forums.
