I love pretty gift wrap, bows, tags, bags and all manner of paper products so I thought I'd share a couple of my favorites for the holiday season!

Delicious Thanksgiving Corn Casserole! My sister makes the best and EASIEST corn casserole ever and I enjoyed it SO much yesterday that I thought I'd share her recipe-- Here it is!!!

1 can cream corn
1 can kernel corn
1 cup of sour cream
1 box Jiffy Cornmuffin mix
1 stick of butter (melted)

Mix all ingredients and bake on 350 for about 50-60 minutes. Sweet and delicious and SO SIMPLE!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!

New Glass Tiles are a great stocking stuffer! Seriously- I love them. Not only are there loads of fun collage sheets that you can purchase on Etsy, but you can print your own pictures and personalize!

I love www.piddix.etsy.com and www.graphicmime.etsy.com for collage sheets
AND
www.sunandmooncraftkits.etsy.com for everything else! Tiles, bails, Diamond Glaze! It's all there!

Try out the fun for yourself or hey, save the time and trouble and check them out in my shop!

New Design!

I am always inspired after the Fall "Hot Time" glass retreat in Asheville and this year was no different! WOW! What amazing demos, great folks.... loved it! So I came home and decided to do some new designing to combine my love of metalwork AND my love of lampwork glass beads... here it is!

I am super pleased with the outcome. The beads are somewhat simple. Silver and Reactive glasses encased, but I think they are really enhanced by the silver work! I am looking forward to adding more bracelets and maybe even some necklaces in this design.

Been Gone, I'm Back

So I haven't done this in forever, but I am going to try to dedicate more time to my blog! I have been doing A LOT more wire working lately, and have a piece that is featured at the Downtown Artists Cooperative at their Regional Art Exhibit, opening TODAY! I am thrilled needless to say... I have some pieces in the same line in my shop! They are called "Ventus" pendants- inspired by the wind and it's wonder and power.
