Fantasy Ring

I made this beautiful ring. I call it The Fantasy Ring. Have you every had a dream so intense that you woke up in the middle of the night and realized you had a great idea. Well This ring was my dream.
In fact I woke up and had to make what I just saw.

I couldn't be more happy with my ring.

Updated info on the Valentins day give away.

I plan on having a Valentines day give away, however if I don't meet my goal of hitting *1000 
followers than I will have to wait until I do reach *1000 followers.

I have a Twitter account and a Instagram account for those of you would like to follow me.

There you will not only find what I am working on, but what I will be adding to my shop. 
So I hope to see you following me!

Favorite Shops to buy from!

I have been thinking about my favorite shops to buy from and I came up with 2 lists.

My favorite shops in person (walk-in) and my favorite online shops!

Favorite Shops In Person (walk-in) 

1. Michael's Crafts store.  Every time I walk in I know that this shop will have most of the items I need or want for my new projects. 
2. Joann's Fabrics store.  This is one of my favorite shops to buy inexpensive yet very nice fabrics. 
3. Hobby Lobby. I love when I walk in and I instantly get ideas. Great prices as well
4. Thunderbird beads. This is a buy in bulk type of store. They have a lot of findings, jewelry making supplies. I get most if not all of my seed beads here.  

 
Favorite Online Shops

1. Beadaholique. They have amazing projects. Great customer service as well. 
2. Fire Mountain Gems. I absolutely LOVE this shop. It has a lot of great prices and so many charms, crystals, and projects if you need something new. 
3. Amazon. You read right I like Amazon for all my crafting needs. I like how they have so many items to choose from in bulk. If you want bulk go to Amazon.
4. Mold Muse on Etsy. They have a lot of good quality molds and the customer service is great too.
5. Blue Goat Studio on Etsy. Another great quality mold shop. 
6. DGBootique on Etsy. This shop has a lot of ribbons, Gothic type items. Great shop! 
7. Delish Beads on Etsy. I have bought a lot of my findings from this shop. Great customer service. 

My first few picks have amazing prices and coupons. I am fortunate for these shops to be here in my state. The online shops anyone who is interested just copy and past the names into google or etsy and you should be able to find them! I highly recommend each and every shop I mentioned in my post. They all have great customer service. I am NOT a sponsor nor am I accepting any thing from these shops. I just really like the quality of items that I bought and wanted to give them props!!
Oh and you can google any of my top 4 too if you want.

I hope you enjoyed today's blog!
