Thank you for your wonderful support during our Gratitude Sale - we're truly grateful to each and every one of you for your orders. We are working as quickly as Santa's Workshop Elves to get all the orders on their way to you. It's all hands on deck! We anticipate getting them all out the door by the end of next week. 

Because of that, and also because I need some extra planning time this week, we are going to skip the usual FriYay LIVE Sale today! I'm working on getting new products added to the website, planning new video content, and hopefully rediscovering the surface of my desk. LOL! This weekend, Mom and I will be building some furniture at home to continue our process of turning what's supposed to be a formal dining room into a video studio! I'll share photos of the transformation along the way...

But we'll be back for the next LIVE Sale a week from today - Friday, December 8 at 3pm CT. I'm just thrilled with the items I've already picked out. I just had a UPS delivery all the way from Thailand of the most perfectly cut and drilled 2 & 3mm gemstone strands, including some sapphire and ruby!! SQUEEE! I also discovered a stash of gorgeous Swarovski stones that will be sold with sew-on settings to use in your jewelry creations! 

I also wanted to remind you about my exciting travel plans for 2024 that you can be a part of! We're over half full for our trip to Czech Republic in April, so if you'd like to join me then make sure you secure your spot soon - details about this amazing adventure are below!

I also have released a new YouTube video this week - this one was filmed due to a viewer request! Join me as I show you how to use one of my favorite clasp choices - you'll find a link to the video below.

Happy beading!

Love Jill 

I'm heading back to Czech Republic again in 2024 - this time with my great beady friend and fellow designer Chloe Menage (of Pinkhot) for an 8-day bead tour! 

Places are booking up fast but there are still a few spots open if you would like to join us for this amazing opportunity to explore the beautiful historic city of Prague and discover some of the bead world's best kept secrets. It's an access-all-areas tour!

In addition to exploring the bead factories and very best tourist sights, you also get to take TWO beading classes with myself and Chloe. I'll be teaching my Bohemian Spires geometric design as one of the classes - inspired by the infamous rooftops of Prague, while Chloe will be sharing her brand new and exclusive Beaders' Holiday design. It's a very sparkly project that celebrates the joy of Czech beads!

Single and double occupancy rooms are available. If you'd like to go, but need a roommate, it's no problem - Jon can help match you up with someone. Just let him know at [email protected]. You can also ask him if you have any questions about trip details!

So what are you waiting for? Sign up today to join us on this trip of a lifetime, with just a $300 deposit.

How to use a Ball & Socket Clasp: These are lovely little clasps that are super secure, and inexpensive! They're definitely one of my favorite options for my own personal jewelry!
