Holiday Projects are Coming and I Need You

Hey, Hey,

Happy Monday!

Look it's my banner for my annual Holiday Projects newsletter.  I am super excited to be getting ready for these this year. I'm having problems narrowing down my projects to just ten so I am thinking that there might just have to be more on the blog. 

My projects start on October 3rd this year. They run for ten weeks, one(or more) projects in your inbox every week. If you don't receive my e-mails you can sign up over there on the right at my blog.  If you're afraid of too much from me, you might get an e-mail once a month from me any other time of the year. I just celebrate the holidays big.

If you want a button for your blog here's one right here.

You'll notice I have mine up today as well.

Now, remember a long, long, time ago when I said I was going to need some help from you? Well here we go. I am looking for prizes for my weekly give away in the newsletter. I need ten all together, they can be sewing, crafting, and beading related. If you interested in a spot in my e-mails, let me know. You can e-mail me at jennifer(at)jangles.net I will give you all of the details. Thanks for your help.

And speaking of give-a-ways....oh boy watch out. I have my biggest ever coming soon. I'm shooting photos today of all of the prizes...it's going to be big and it starts next week.

Have a great day,
Jennifer

Holiday Projects, A Must Read

They are coming! Yippee... I wanted to have one of those countdown clocks telling you exactly how many weeks, days, minutes,etc. that were left until the first project would go out. But it turns out, I am having some java script issues. It's not serious...I'm going to be alright. :)

I am going to do it the old fashion way. October 6th is the day! That means there are only 27 days until they start! Wahoo again!

If you aren't familiar with my annual Holiday Project newsletters then I will give you an idea of what you're in for. If you have always received my holiday newsletters, I advise you keep reading because there are new things being added this year. First of all, this is my fourth year of projects. I think I might do bullet points for the rest of my explanation.... Here we go.....

                  * A new project every week for ten weeks, to get you prepared for the holidays
                  * New work every week
                  * A sale or special every week just for newsletter subscribers
                  * Freebies
                  * A give a way every week
                  * Lots of fun!

You say you need to be on the mailing list? Sign up here at the bottom of the page. To entice you a little more, any new subscriber between now and October 5th will receive a coupon for 25% off your first order. Once you sign up I will e-mail you the code.If you already are a subscriber and your bummed about not getting the coupon....how about a giveaway to cheer you up?

Leave me a comment here at this post and you will be entered to win a big ol' stash of New Holiday beads. They are beads that will be debuting in the first newsletter so unfortunately I cannot show you the prize. But above are some snowmen and trees to fill in their place.

I will randomly choose a winner for the give a way on October 6th.

When you leave me a comment, I want to hear....are you making your holiday gifts? Will you be sewing or beading them? I love, love, love to read what you're up to so thanks in advance for the comments....

Have a great day,
Jennifer

Stuff, Lot's of It

Hey, Hey, Happy Tuesday!

Check it out! Snowmen and Christmas trees! Eeek! You all know it's my favorite time of the year. I love the Holidays! It may seem a bit early but every August I start working on my holiday projects, new beads, and gifts. I just pulled some other, brand new, Christmas beads out of the kiln that are so dang cute! But unfortunately I cannot show you yet. Yep top secret until the first holiday newsletter. I think it's October 6th if I remember correctly.


This post has so much random stuff, hence the title. Check out this caterpillar Nik found last night in the woods in our yard. I had to look it up, it looks super scary. It's a Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar. I guess it's rare to find one this color, who knew? It turns out this guys is perfectly harmless but there are other caterpillars that bite ans sting. I did not know that either. I should have listen to more of my moms "nature talks" when I was a child. She was a science teacher and loved to teach and being the rotten(or typical) children my brother and I were, we would roll our eyes and mock her when we would try to teach us something. My poor mother...

Okay, back to pottery... pretty mugs just out of the kiln....

And last but not least. Pottery to paint! I am sure I mentioned that we are having classes starting in a few weeks. A few nights we are going to be open for paint your own pottery night. You know, bring a group of girl friends or your date and come paint. I looooove to paint, it's my favorite thing ever! I wanted to share the fun with some of the local pottery or paint loving people.

To make a long story longer, a nice woman from dealmobs came to my studio a few weeks ago, (it's a really cool "groupon" site) and I signed up to have a discount for paint your own pottery night, you know, good advertisement, right? She gave me an estimate of how many people I would have buy the coupon and since I am totally new I wasn't even expecting that number. Well, it turns out in that one day I sold four times what she had estimated! Wahoo, that is exciting. I looove that so many people want to come and paint pottery. Of course that means a lot of last minute bisque ordering and class adding. I have the bisque as you can see above.... oh it makes me want to come site and paint all day. Open studios times have been added and we are going to add even more this week(check out Facebook for the latest). Whew! But oh so much fun!

Have a great day!
