Oh my, I love what EllaDean makes. These would be perfect for Christmas stocking fillers and for those little pressies that come in so useful. 

Beautiful buttony treasury

A wonderful customer of mine Kate at Weebeasties has very kindly included me in her beautiful Treasury. Please go and have a look and be sure to click and comment! I am sure this is Front Page standard!

You must check GoGoKioko out! Really cute and gorgeous resin jewelry. These would make fabulous Christmas presents or stocking fillers.

Check out Random Scraps

I'm taking part in Neatostuff's promo and today's featured shop is the wonderful Random Scraps. This shop has gorgeous cards and you can order Christmas cards up until 10 November - so get your order in!

I'll be promoting various shops over the next few weeks - so please be sure to visit them and check them out. The idea behind the promo is that it should give everyone a bit of extra publicity so please do go and have a look at all the lovely things they have to sell. And feel free to spread the word!

Here's my pendant!

Sorry it's taken so long to get round to posting about the Art Clay Silver course I did - here it is now!

Well, I loved it! There were 5 of us on the course and none of us had done anything with Art Clay Silver before and by the end of the evening we all went home with some lovely pieces. I made this heart pendant and some matching earrings. 

I'm really looking forward to trying this out at home and will be getting some supplies in soon. I've also signed up for another evening course to learn how to make an art clay silver ring later on this month. I can't wait!

Art Clay Silver course

Tomorrow I'll be attending my first Art Clay Silver class and I can't wait! I'll try and take photos as I'm going along so as I can post them here and you'll be able to see how I get on. I'm so looking forward to it and hope the class lives up to my expectations!

By the way, it's suddenly got really cold here in Scotland with snow on the hills further north and a very chilly wind here in Edinburgh. Tilly is cuddling up to keep warm! This picture of Tilly was taken on a slightly warmer day on the banks of the beautiful River Dee in Aberdeenshire.
