Happy Easter!

Did a bunny visit your home this morning?

I wasn't expecting him to get inside mine but apparently he did and left scatterings of Reese's mini eggs around. So the photo above will be my submission for this week's I Heart Macro round!

I'm behind on blogging about several things so please bear with me...

So far I have nine wonderfully talented Blog Partner Peeps lined up:

Erin Prais-Hintz (Tesori Trovati)

Lorelei Eurto

Susan Kennedy (SueBeads)

Michelle Mach

Linda Landig

Christi Baxter Clothier (2 if By Sea)

Patricia Gasparino (My Life Under the Bus)

Leslie Gidden (Mad Maggie Designs)

Sally Russick (WireWorked)

You can find all the details and listing of those participating under my Blog Partner tab up at the top of the page. I like round numbers so I will still accept a few more designers into the mix, I'm thinking an even dozen (also a number divisible by 3 since there are 3 drawn each month) so there's room for 3 more. The first 3 people who let me know that the button is up on their blogs are in!

For the month of May the three designers randomly selected are....


Sally Russick, Christi Baxter Clothier, and Michelle Mach! Ladies, email me with your mailing addresses please and the goodies for this round will go out in the next two weeks. You will have until the end of May to reveal your creations!

In publication news, quite some time ago I received my copy of Wire Style 2 in the mail. Much to my surprise and delight I discovered that the very first project in the book, a gorgeous necklace by Lorelei Eurto, featured one of my Zinnia Connectors! It's a terrific book full of projects by talented folks and I would highly recommend checking it out.

Wire Style 2: 45 New Jewelry Designs


Another surprise this week came when I flipped through The Best of Creative Jewelry on the bookshelf at the store the other day... My Splish Splash bracelet and a pair of earrings from Creative Jewelry a couple years ago both made it in!

I've delayed long enough, I have a huge stack of pendants to clean up and fire today, many many new architectural designs to test out...I have a suspicion that the Blog Partners will be seeing some of them!

Hope you all have a most wonderful and chocolate filled Easter!
