Thanksgiving Reflections and Beading Updates

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends and Happy Holidays to You All! I hope you had a safe and relaxful Thanksgiving Day! We most certainly did! This was the first year I’ve not cooked. Mark and I went to spend Thanksgiving with my Mom, who is currently living in an assisted living facility about an hour and a half away from us. We had a nice visit and I am thankful to have had one more holiday with her.

Things have been so crazy busy around here, with me back to working full time and my daughter Caitlyn and her boyfriend buying their own place, lots of changes! I miss her terribly but and so proud of her for taking that step! Feeling a bit sad that I don’t have the time I’m use to for beading. I really am missing that and am hopeful mid 2025, that will change… (fingers crossed)

For now, the above three holiday designs are the last of new sets for 2024. Already working on plenty to debut for 2025 and I can’t wait to show you! Stop into my site at https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com often as I will be marking lots down between now and the end of the year to get rid of older designs and make room for the new! Please enjoy a 25% discount when you spend $25 in the store right now.

Enjoy the beauty of the season and as always, Happy Beading!

Paper Bead Jewelry is BACK!

Hello Paper Bead Friends!

I hope your weekend is off to a good start! Mine sure is but I could certainly use some sunshine here in the great Pacific Northwest!

Several of you have asked me to consider bringing back my paper bead jewelry creations and I thought I would give them another try!

Here are three of my new designs now available in my Etsy shop! I plan on adding earrings, bracelets and anklets, as well as the necklaces, as I find the time to create, but I wanted you to see these NOW!

I’d love to know your thoughts! Find these beauties at https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends!

Hope you are all doing well and staying warm this winter season! We’ve been enjoying alot of warm wood stove fires! My favorite! I’ve been trying to plump up the shop with new beads, as quick as I can roll them! But the amount of time I have is what it all boils down to and I just found a job yesterday! I will be going back to work next week for Starbucks part time! My favorite things, beads and coffee!

How do you use your paper beads? Do you stockpile them (like I do?!) Do you make jewelry? What kind of Art do you create? Today I want to introduce you to a special customer of mine Sherie! The two canvas art pictures posted above are her works of art! So beautiful and creative, I wanted to share them with you! She has used Tyvek, wire wrapped paper beads she purchased from my shop in both of these canvas art photos! How creative is that? So many things come to mind when I think of the use of paper beads! Let’s get creative and share our thoughts on what you make with your paper beads! I’d love to see your photos so don’t forget to tag me @thepaperbeadboutique !

Hello Paper Bead Friends!

Been having an absolute ball making these fabric/fiber beads and charms! And now, I am ready to introduce them to all of you!

I am so excited to bring these in and I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!

So please, when you have a quick minute, stop by https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com to see what’s new! You might just find the star to your next project!

New Things Coming!

Good morning Paper Bead Friends!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are in the holiday swing of things! We were able to get my Mom out to our new place for the holiday so that made me really happy! I begin a new job on Monday, only part time, so that I may continue to do what I love…BEADING!!!

Sales have been down over the last several months for so many…I’ve been going over in my mind how I might be able to overcome this and boost my shop a bit. I have been working on some new things and it’s making a difference! I am bringing back styles I’ve dabbled with in the past and they’re doing very well! I’m having a hard time keeping up with what I put on my site as they are time consuming to make!

What is coming next is super exciting for me…I’m working fabric into my beads! Yes, I am teaching myself how to make fabric beads and charms and am having a ton of fun with them! They are turning out so beautiful and I can’t wait to show them to you! I’m hoping I am able to list some by next weekend! Make sure to check back as I will most likely be offering a coupon along with their debut!!!

Until next time, Happy Beading!

This Weekend Only!

https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends!

For those of you that don’t already know, I have gone back to work full time once we moved to help take care of household expenses. So, unfortunately, I dont’ have nearly the time to bead or work in my shop as I would like to. Heart breaking because it’s all I want to do. But such is life, right?

I have decided that with the time I have, I will focus on more of my specialty hand-colored beads, which also helps me decompress from my day job! So that’s what you will see, at least in the near future! Thank you for your continued support!

This weekend only, enjoy $5 off your purchase (from Etsy!) using code GET5! Stop by now and see what you can’t live without! https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com

Thank you for your continued support and for your love of paper beading!

Until next time… Happy Beading!
