I know I have been slack here but hey I have been beading insanely.
I can't tell and show everything until after Christmas but I can show all my finished ornaments.
Now a couple where already finished just packed away.
Some where half way there but not finished and some are still in the box to be finished but I want to share these with you.
However first I want to share with you about an incredible artist.
Her name is Paula Adams, when I first started beading I use to set and drool all over my keyboard looking at her work online. My dream was to be able to one day do the type of work she did.
Well life is funny and after about 6 years of beading I ended up moving to Albuquerque, NM. My husband suggested I go take a few classes at the local bead store just to get to know other people...hehehe..funny man... he had no idea he just opened the door to pure joy. Me in a bead store.
Ok back to my story. Well here I am in the bead store and there is a class in the back room. I asked the owner of the store who was teaching and what was she teaching and could I go look?
WELLLL low and behold, I have to say this would be better to me than meeting any ole movie star. It was Paula Adams and yes I could go look. Let me tell you I had to contain my goofy joy so she wouldn't think I was insane.
Well next thing you know I am taking lots of classes with this delightful lady.
I even got to go to her house one Christmas and view her tree. I was also so excited to do some proofing of a few patterns for Paula.
So with all this being said let me show you some of the work from the classes I have taken...oh and here is a link to her site Visions by Paula and I will be adding a link to my list on the side also. To the best of my knowledge all of these patterns are on her site for sale.

You certainly have been busy. I've done more blogging than beading so I'll have to change that in the new year. My granddaughter kept wowing over your work as I enlarged each picture.
Merry Christmas and a beadiful New Year to you.
