I'm rising from the depths of a Nyquil-induced haze to bring you a giveaway from Auntie's Beads! Filling my paint palette are dollops of seed beads in various sizes in a glamorous colorway -- glimmering silver-lined seed beads to hematite-toned to jet black.
Easy to enter -- just leave a comment (make sure you have a way for me to contact you!) and for an extra entry, blog about it!
Deadline is March 31st,
and the winner will be picked out of a bowl....
by this aspiring artist.
Good luck!

You can never have to many seed beads. Having said so I will increase my chances by blogging about it too.
Hope you feel better real soon. Maybe it was all that flux over the weekend!! It sure looks like everyone had a great experience with Stephanie. Hope she offers her e-course again soon.
Funny - in sickness and in health, we always have time for beads!!
Feel better soon! The beads are beautiful.
Nothing wrong with Nyquil-haze once in a while if it means you're getting better! Love that bead mix!
Love Giveaways! :)
Hope you are feeling better soon!
These beads would make me super extra happy!Kind of like Nyquil does.

I posted your giveaway on both of my blogs. My jewelry blog only has 3 followers (hopefully soon will have some more). My other blog, Color My World (www.lisa-colormyworld.blogspot.com), has more that would see this opportunity. Email address is jewelrybylhamilton@yahoo.com. Thanks again for the giveaway!
I was looking at something (I can't even remember what) and stumbled upon the Bead Soup project. WOW! It was awesome! I would love to participate in the next one, even though my blog has mostly been about gardening and food, but I don't post as often as I should, I think. I am enjoying reading several of the blogs, and I will tell you that if anyone posted their etsy.com store, I looked at that, too. It was very inspiring. I have also made a few purchases. I had no idea there was a community of beaders out there. Knitters have a wonderful site, Ravelry.com, I have often mused that beaders should as well. Until then, I am following the Bead Soup participants I admired. Thank you again so much for your work in making that happen.
Thanks Lori for the giveaway. I hope you feel better soon. Nyquil is wonderful stuff but I know you'd rather taste something different.
I also posted this giveaway on my blog.
Oooo ... how luscious!
Sorry you're under the weather, Lori. Is everybody up there sick with the change of seasons?
Hope you feel better quick ;-(
Another fun giveaway! Hope you are better ASAP!
I have been wanting to play with sead beads! Thanks for the chance!

He's a cutie. And the beads are gorgeous, too. Am throwing my hat into the ring for the chance to have these great beads and work with them.
Oh, really hope you're feeling better now! Spring is on it's way, and you have to be better to enjoy it!
You know us seed beaders never have enough!
Awww Sorry you feel so lousy! I am glad you are feeling better.
Just posted some pics of my classic color lampwork beads. These seed beads would fit right in.
Hope you are feeling better. My dh has had the same for 2 weeks.
Feel better! Beautiful beads!
I really really need some beads right now!!!! Please enter me!!!!

Nyquil is my favourite cocktail!
I could use some new seed beads.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. The beads look great but so does the little guy picking the winner.
Feel better really fast, Lori - I know how much it sucks when you have things to do and can't find the energy to do them! So if I'm afraid of seed beads and mostly just use them as spacers, can I still be entered in the giveaway? :)
Yay! I used to love to go into Auntie's in Grapevine when I lived in Dallas. Always something fun going on there.
I blogged about it too!
I think you should be sleeping.

What a pretty group of beads, Lori. I love black as a staple. The picture of Zack is really sweet - he's got a whole lot of personality, that one. :-)
I'm determined to win a giveaway.
Feel better soon!
I have a great project that would shine with those beads!!! Hope you are still sleeping and feel better in the morn!
Glad you are on the mend. Being sick is noooo fun. Thanks for the opportunity to win beads!
Yay for Nyquil! So good when you need it. Hope you feel better ASAP! Please enter me in the drawing. llandig@msn.com
My friends would probably say that I'm always in a haze... and I don't even take Ny-Quil. Love your blog.

For the daytime try some Mucinex D but don't take it in the evening as it will keep you awake.
Great giveaway!
I love seed beads!
Thanks
Great stash! Get well!!
Just wondering??? Do you think Nyquil would be effective against seed bead addiction?
Laura
NyQuil is the best!!!! But I do hope you are feeling better very soon.

I would love to win the seed beads. I have to tell you a small story- That is how I found your Bead soup Blog party- last time around. I was on the internet looking for bead soup mixes. I absolutely love seed bead soup!! It is what I crave- sounds crazy right?? Amy Severino from our party this time introduced me to Beverly Ash and the wonderful soups she makes. I am going to get some. Amy and I found each other on the Blogs- It is so fun to find friends of kindred hearts!
