Well we are in full swing with the Florida season. It is so great to see our friends from the North.
Hard to believe that it is only a few days from Thanksgiving with the New year right around the cornor. I am in Chicago right now. Erkki and I made a trip here after his Elon college audition. The city is so busy and holiday decorations all over. It is fun to walk past all the shop windows. We got to see Billy Elliot. It was great. Such a talented young actor. And we ate stuffed pizza at Giordano's. It was cold for 2 days, but today it was in the 60's. Lets see what the rest of the week brings. I will be back in time for Crystal Creations after Thanksgiving day sale... Then it will be time to get ready for the cruise. That should be fun. The 22 new dura coat delica's are in.. and you may want to check out our newest kits., Northern Lights, Carnival, and Twilight.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The Holiday Season is upon us!
I have so many great new things to tell you! We have started a new area on the front page of the website for Quotes and Artist of the Week, where we can show off some of our students GREAT work! So if you have been in a class and would love to show off what you've done be sure to bring it in. It doesn't have to be what you made in the class, it can be any of the work you have been inspired to do. We have started our yearly "Count Down to the New Year Sale". Everyone looks forward to this Sale year after year. this is the time as we get ready for inventory we move out all the old to make room for next years new. Everyday we find and put new items on sale!
*** Be super sure that you check the sale table every time you come in.
Liisa and I collaborated on a new kit called with 3 pairs of "Snowflake Earrings" and it is on sale for a limited time...They are really very festive and make great gifts.
We have had so many new people coming in asking about what are the most important classes for them to take to get a grip on beading and we have always suggested, Basic, Tropical (for making drops and dangles, earrings etc) and pearl knotting. So we have made a special starter pack for new beaders. Sign up for the Basic and Tropical and get the Pearl Knotting Class FREE. With those three classes you really will be all set to go.
Some exciting news is that Liisa and I have been accepted to teach at the Bead and Button show in Milwaukee next June. I am very excited about that. It has been something I have wanted to do for quite some time and we finally took the time to enter some designs. Be on the look out too for some of our new work to be featured in the "Step by Step Wire" magazine and "Bead Style" magazine.
Erkki was just in a staged reading at the Jupiter Maltz Theater. It was for the emerging artist series. I was really impressed with his singing. I never really heard him sing on stage before.. I just always heard the "in the car singing". More and more I see him developing his passion. In December he will be in a performance with the Doo Wop group. I believe it is a night of Doo Wop Holiday Music.
So we have been busy with lots of new ideas, new kits, new classes, rehearsals, and school work. Seems like Linkin and Lilly are the only ones who get to lounge around all day. So remember to bring in your work for us to see so we can get you in the gallery and make it a great week. Remember to go out and VOTE! Glenda

How did he do it?
I am talking about my greyhound Linkin. He was home for a bit today and he got into our hurricane supplies, grabbed himself a JAR of spaghetti sauce, carried it on top of my high rise bed, unscrewed the top and ate all the sauce leaving just a little tail tail sign on my comforter. I don't know about that dog.... I guess I am just really glad he didn't drob it off the bed and let it break on my tile floor..
I am really excited about the new kits, classes, and guest teachers that we have for the fall season. Liisa and I made some really fun winter jewelry, and of course all the xmas trees and angles are always a hit and fun to make. I think this year will be a great time for people to make their own meaningful, holiday gifts. It is a great time to take beading and wire class too because we brought back our summer class special, book any 2 classes and the second is 1/2 price. We did it because it was so popular and our northern customers wanted to be able to get in on it. Some of the most popular new classes are the resin class, the new brickstitch earring class, and my new earring class called "golden vines". Maggie Meister was just here teaching over this last weekend. It was a great, great time. She showed "napal chain" which was incorporated into her design and it really intrigued me.. I worked with it and work with it and finally came up with some marvelous earrings that we have decided to call Golden Vines.Thanks Maggie for the inspiration and for coming to teach at Crystal Creations Bead Institute. We have Dallas Lovett, Sherry Serafini, coming this year and early next year we have Cynthia Rutledge, NanC Meinhardt, and Janice Berkilbile. I also have several other new teachers in the works.. If you haven't taken a guest teacher before make this the year that you treat yourself.
