fire Divas Gossip Column

Christmas is approaching QUICKLY (just 32 days at at this moment!), so if you design jewelry and want to get a head start on Christmas gifts, make sure you check out the Fire Divas links to the side of the blog and buy handmade lampwork for your designs!


Over at Fire N Sand, there is a drawing for the bead of the month and she suggests it would make the wettest bracelet. Is that a new term for awesome? Because that's what I think of the bracelet that bead will make.

I have some beads in the 2010 product review in Step by Step Wire Jewelry magazine. To celebrate, I am giving an issue away. But you have to stop by Glass Addictions to see how to enter.

Holly has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Which one? I won't tell! You'll have to read for yourself.

Lara finds bead inspiration from....jury duty?

Over at Maybeads, you will discover Lauren's favorite things and lots of things with eyes.

Marcy has found the Weapons of Mass Destruction and they were in Texas this whole time!

Vedasbeads is surrounded by a bunch of fruits...
