Sharing My Love of Paper Beading!

A New Year brings New Changes!

Good Evening Paper Bead Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday filled with the love of family and friends! As we come to the end of the year, there are some changes being made to https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com! I am excited, yet nervous at the same time, to share with you I will be officially retiring early this spring! Santa gave me the gift of an early retirement! I am beyond excited yet very nervous as I still have to bring in a bit of $$ to pay some personal monthly bills! I will be devoting ALOT more time to my bead shop and the making of more jewelry pieces! I’m also considering staying on for a couple days a week just to be able to have some adult interaction!

So, having said that, I have decided to lower my prices (even though I shouldn’t have to!) to try and sell more beads! Most all listings have been dropped and are now available for purchase at the lower price! This Saturday, December 28th, I will be unveiling 20 new designs of beads at the lower prices! Stop by and take a look! https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com

Last but not least, I want to THANK YOU ALL for your continued support throughout the years! You’ve allowed me to follow a dream and I owe it all to you! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Until, next time, Happy Beading!

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends and Happy New Year!
Hope you all had a safe and memorable New Year’s Eve! It was pretty quiet around our place but we did stay awake long enough to take our annual family selfie at the stroke of Midnight!!! Welcome 2015!
I have lots of wonderful thoughts and ideas for the new year…now all I have to do is get them down on paper and not lose sight of them!
One of the things I recently began to work on for my studio is a paper bead curtain! The time it will take is a bit discouraging, in between handling my Etsy Shop, but I am bound and determined to finish one for the door window in the studio. It will look similar to the one below only on a smaller, shorter scale! I think it will amazing! What do you think? Definitely an ongoing project!
What’s going on in your crafty world? Any New Year Resolutions? I’d love to hear about them!
Until next time, Happy Beading!

Merry Christmas Eve! I couldn’t let the day go by without showing you what I’ve been up to in the studio!
I have introduced a new line of memory wire paper bead bracelets in my Etsy Shop! What do you think? One of the new things for The Paper Bead Boutique in 2015! The price points will vary depending on the cost of supplies and time it takes to make the items but I am sure there is something for everyone!

In My Studio Today…

Sometimes I run into road blocks, don’t you? Trying to come up with new designs in both color and style can be challenging. Currently, I am working on a bead design with a paper I found while vacationing with my family on the Washington Coast! There’s a small scrapbooking/printing shop in Ocean Shores, Washington that I like to stop in whenever we’re in town and see what’s new and exciting!

I found this paper and fell in love with it! It’s bright color I knew would be beautiful once cut and rolled and I believe I was right! I am in the process of rolling the beads now and will post a picture when they are all complete later in the week! Until then, Happy Beading!Image
