Marcy,
As I reread your points I thought about this line especially... so how about offering one of my BOC Critter Tutorial Workbooks as a 2nd or 3rd prize? I am attaching pics of it, and some pics of the types of completed jewelry that can be assembled for children.
When you have the list of winners, just tell me who to send it to and I will ship a Critter Tutorial Workbook direct to them if you like.

Okay I am offering up a prize to To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. I will offer 3 baggies of my murrini 25 chips each as a prize. Just let me know who the winner is and I can send it directly to them. For now I think it will be a bag of Love Remembers, a bag of Deep In Thought which includes some Z-99 chips, and a surprise blend that I am working on. I can upload pics here in the thread later on. This is sooo cool!!!

I'll add another prize to the cache. I'll send an aquarium bead complete with fish murrini and jellyfish. Let me know who comes in and I'll send it directly.

Well, I sat outside in the sunshine today and went thru one of my drawers of beads and took out all the miss matched ones, experiments, did-I-do-that beads and whatever else I knew I would not sell. I washed them all because they have been in the drawer forevah... Filled one small priority box... it's overflowing.... much to my surprise! That was just the drawer of 3/32" holes..... tomorrow, if it is acceptable, I'll go thru the 1/16" hole beads to send along as well.
I hate to say it, but I still have way too many beads.... To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Additionally Chuck and I made beads last evening with a group of friends who will be sending those in as well including some fishies.
Wow! This feels good!

Yay Leslie (and friends)! Don't forget to take a quick photo of them too (and count them!). Group shots are great! We all want to enjoy them. Thanks so much. I know BOC will appreciate everyone's donations.

The prize will be 1 ounce of each of these: Soma, Treescape, Green Lizard, Pixie Dust, Jester, Wintergreen, and Lilac Blossom, and Kashmir. If Marcy approves, that is!!

I will try super hard to take a picture today. I guess some peeps won't know what the colors are since the website is down! See, sometimes hoarding is a good thing!

Thanks Pat. You are talking to a fellow hoarder. Not frit necessarily, but glass in general.

Hi Patty, I'm so glad to hear that. Anytime during the month of February is within the guidelines for this contest.
And I just found out there will be another prize- Leslie is donating one of her fish. Three cheers and a big thank you. You guys have been so generous and will make this so much fun for more folks.
And I just saw an email announcing another Beads in Space call for artists. Here's the link. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Hope you all can enter.
Monday is official kick off for the torch contest, but check out the above link as well.
Happy weekend to you,
Marcy

I was all ready to head to the post office with my 700 + BOC package but it's a frigid 6 degrees, supposed to be a -20 or something like that tonight and I'm not going anywhere until it warms up. Will take a photo and post the fish necklace as soon as I can.
Marcy ~ Thanks so much for encouraging more of us to participate in BOC!
BTW, somehow I keep missing the addy of where to send the beads. Maybe you could post it here as well. Thanks!

But don't forget to post on my blog: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 1 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. the number that you sent in as well. I have to keep track of everyone's donations in one place. And everyone, please help me spread the word. If you are on other forums, please help! bloggers- please link to my blog, to help increase traffic and spread the word. Thank you so much. I am hoping that they will be rolling in beads by the end of the month.
xo to all of you sweethearts-

Hi Kristina, I had not planned on doing that. I am going to draw for each item and record it so it's public. I head out of town shortly after this ends, and want to be able to sleep knowing that everyone has their information, before I go. It's a raffle and being run the same way. I'll post the winners and if they want to trade privately among themselves afterward, of course that's their choice.

That sounds great Marcy. This is such a wonderful undertaking, and continuing to expand, so I sure understand!
Wish I was able to come to your class. I bet you are a wonderful teacher.
