Wordless Wednesday….with one word you may like.

Okay, this post can’t be entirely wordless because I do have one word for you:

This is my way of saying thank you for all of the kind compliments on my last post.  When you leave a comment here, you’ll be entered to win a set of the very same lampwork beads that I used in my February ABS bracelet.  I’ll draw a winner one day next week…. see? Very few details.  Practically wordless.

Update 3/7/12:  The Winner has been announced!  Congrats to Lynda of Fresh Baked Designs!! 🙂

  23. Donna on February 29, 2012 at 1:37 pm

    First and foremost, I made the same Banana Bread with my son, who is now 42 years old. This is near and dear to my heart. Next, I love your work and the beads are wonderful. Thank you for your inspiration.

  24. Cynthia@OrnamentalStyle on February 29, 2012 at 2:00 pm

    Love the photo of you and Nathaniel especially. I’d love to win the beads (you’re so generous) but will take some banana bread as a consolation prize.

  27. The Crazier Sister on February 29, 2012 at 2:38 pm

    oooOOOOOooooo! Shinies!! (slaps self) Sorry, my ADOS took over for a moment there (ADOS = Attention Deficit Ooh Shiney! Disorder… altho’ I embrace it rather than think of it as a problem! ~heee~) These are lovely beads and I really liked your ABS entry. I’d also like to find out if you have a tutorial on how to make those metal knots!

    Dear Cindy,

    Just popping in and decided to leave a comment for once. Hope I’m doing this right. HA! So computer friendly. Not. I always love to visit your blog and just see what you’ve been up to. I remember baking with my daughter when she was little. I made her an apron just like mine and got her her own utensils. Now she is leaving for college in the Fall. Wah! Hope that you are well and that all is fine with you and yours. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for letting us share in your family’s life. The banana bread is also nice to share. HA!

    Love,
    Carol xo
