Swarovski Crystal Colors

Good evening all! Starting now, I'm going to try to update the blog more frequently. Life can get so busy sometimes that it's hard to remember to do it and sometimes, I just have nothing to say! I know that I have almost 100 followers so I guess I should give y'all something to read now and again! lol

This one is for the beady people in the crowd.

Have you ever wondered just what color the Swarovski crystal in your inventory is? I found a great chart on their website with all the colors they make for bicones, pearls, and flat backs. It's a fabulous resource for anyone who uses the products regularly. I printed a copy and will keep it in my "look book" of designs.

Check out the PDF here. The chart is on pages 16-19. (Pages 20-23 also have a great bracelet tutorial to try out!) Enjoy. :)

Today is a GREAT day!

I'm just bubbling over with happiness today so I HAD to share it with someone!

First of all, it's sunny and warm. My mood is directly related to the weather most of the time. Secondly, I got TWO orders today already! One of them is to France! Woohoo! Third, my Legal Studies test was easy peasy and I got out early so I had time to relax before Literature. Fourth, the order from BlueMud that I have been so anxiously awating came today. Plus the mail came way earlier than usual. According to the tracking, it was it Seatle yesterday and arrived in Birmingham before noon today. Thank goodness for Priority Mail! Fifth, and best of all, no more classes today and NOTHING to do besides bead, bead, bead!!

Don't you love great days?! Hope everyone else's day is going just as wonderfully as mine!

Check out my bracelet that has sold TWICE today! ♥

Update on BlueMud Post

I told you all about how great the customer service at BlueMud is but I wanted to further praise them right now.

They replied to my message and said they'd shipped my missing item within 30 minutes of me contacting them initially. That was on Feb. 2nd. Well, today, Feb 4th, the beads were in my mail box! How great is that?!

I ♥ BlueMud

BlueMud Beads

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a great Monday. It's raining here but I got my jewelry order from BlueMud.com today so it's all good!

I just wanted to take a minute to praise BlueMud. They're a wholesale jewelry supply site that sells mainly sterling silver and Swarovski crystals. Their products are amazing quality at even more amazing prices and their customer service is wonderful! An item got left out of my order and within 30 minutes of emailing them, I got a response saying that the missing item had been shipped out already! They're so great! ♥

So, if you're a jewelry maker like me and you're looking for a great, dependable beading source, BlueMud.com is the way to go! Check them out here.

My first blog!

Hey everyone! So this is my first blog...ever. lol I feel out of the loop!

So a little about me. I'm a college student who's looking to make a name for herself in the jewelry design world. I'm majoring in marketing and business and I one day hope to open my own jewelry/ beading shop. I sell my designs at http://october102006.etsy.com/ currently.

I plan to blog frequently; every day if I can manage it! I'm going to talk about my favorite designs, shops on Etsy, suppliers, or any other jewelry-related stuff I happen to think of.

I LOVE Twilight and I'm currently obsessed with designing Twilight jewelry so I expect to review a lot of shops that sell Twilight designs, too!

Well, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my blogs to come!
