Tool Talk ~ Zoozii's Charm Box

Let's talk tools!

I'm kind of a tool junky ~ I have a LOT of them! 

Today's tool talk will focus on Zoozii's Charm Box

First, let me say that Zooziis are my favorite tools!  They're high quality, excellent value, great customer service, easy to use, and I like the pegs for making sure you get a straight press.  This one is really opening up possibilities for me in making European charm beads and getting away from the standard donut-ish shape.

Here are some beads I made with this press

A Pirate Looks At 40

40!?!

I can't believe I'm turning 40 this month ~ 
I can't do anything to stop it, so I'm going to celebrate with a sale!

For the entire month of November
40/4/40 
that second one isn't a 40 for a reason :)

So, what is the 40/4/40 sale?

40 cents off every item all month long!
Buy 4 items (see, aren't you glad it's not 40!)  and get 40% off 
the highest priced item.

To receive your discount just put Happy 40th in the note to seller and I'll send you a refund through paypal. 

Since I have to turn 40 anyway, I may as well be positive about it!


And a special Happy Birthday shout out to my sister who turns 38 this month ~ I love you Melly!

October

Apple harvest should only last a few more days, then it's back to full time bead making!

This morning we picked apples in the rain.



And it really made me want to be warm and cozy in my studio!

Okay, so I'll have to do a LOT of cleaning before it looks like that again. But first, more beads!

The best part of being a beadmaker

Do you know what the best part of being a bead maker is?

Even if it's October, and raining, and 11pm ~ I can still pick a bouquet of flowers out of my kiln!

I LOVE MY JOB!!

Watch for some of them in my Etsy shop tomorrow :)
