I'm So Excited!

I get to be a participant in the 5th Bead Soup Blog Party on March 3rd!!!

What's that? & nbsp;It's a very cool event hosted by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things. & nbsp;Participants send jewelry making goodies to their bead soup partner. & nbsp;Then they create something fabulous with the pieces they receive and post pics on their blog on the party day (March 3, 2012), and we all hop from blog to blog to see all the fabulous creations everyone made!

You may get to see some "teaser" shots in the interim -- like pics of what I receive and what I sent -- but you just have to wait until the party to see the final reveal.

So I've been mulling over what I will send. & nbsp;I've been partnered up with a fabulous lampwork artist -- Lori Greenberg! & nbsp;Check out her amazing work and her beautiful blog! & nbsp;I love the contrast and color combinations she uses. & nbsp;So very "mod" and ultra-cool! ;)

Well, as they say ... stay tuned!

Fresh Start for the New Year

It's a whole new year! & nbsp;So, I'm taking the bull by the horns and doing something I should have done a while ago. & nbsp;I'm moving ...

No, not literally. & nbsp;Though it almost feels like it! & nbsp;

As many of you likely know, Facebook does not allow you to change the title of your business page unless you have less than 100 fans. & nbsp;(When I first tried to change it, they wouldn't let you change it, period. & nbsp;Then they said if you had less than 100 fans, but by then I had more than that.) & nbsp;I made a silly mistake when I first created my page. & nbsp;I named my page with the full website name - as in "www.mybeadtherapy.com." & nbsp;I thought it would help drive traffic to my main website. & nbsp;I did not foresee the evolutions of FB making it so that people could not easily refer others to my FB page because the name would automatically create a link to the outside site. & nbsp;I also did not think about the fact that no one would think to search for a business page that starts with "www." & nbsp;Lol. & nbsp;I'm really not sure how I was ever found by more than 100 people! :)

So, to resolve this issue, the only option was to create a new page. & nbsp;From scratch. & nbsp;And hope -- with all my fingers and toes crossed -- that the bulk of you that have followed my page, supported and encouraged me, and shared with me your pages, too, would follow me over to my new page. & nbsp;Pretty please, with sugar on top?! :)

Come find me, "like" me, and continue to share with me at MyBeadTherapy.

And let's ring in a fabulous New Year together!
