Have your store (<a href="http://etsy.com">Etsy</a>) featured in a book that gets promoted worldwide! With 210 Etsy artists featured in 6 volumes, the handbook to handmade is a small cut of very talented artists from around the world.<br /><br />"The Handbook to Handmade" is a 80 page monthly volume of 35 Etsy artists and their shops. This is a promotional tool that is used to help promote artists and Etsy. Timothy Adam is the creator. And it is now time for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12975896">Volume 7</a>.<br /><br />Now I have become a part of it all. <a href="http://thumbelinacreations.etsy.com">My store</a> is to be one of the shops featured in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12975896">Volume 7</a>.<br /><br />If you would also like to be featured, visit <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12975896">TimothyAdamDesign</a>.Crafty Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17487643108122667668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36915891.post-23678939528744789732008-06-23T14:59:00.003-06:002008-06-23T15:01:27.316-06:00New Items!I have tried out shrink plastic as a new medium in my jewelry.

So, I have compiled a list of my favorite bead stores for you.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.walmart.com/">Wal-Mart</a> - It actually has some really great pendants, and the findings are comparable to other stores.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.michaels.com/art/online/static?page=beads">Michael's</a> - Of course, the crafting superstore. Sometimes it can be more pricey than other stores, but they have a fairly good variety.<br /><br />There are many great supply shops on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/category_sub.php?tags=supplies.bead">Etsy</a>. I am personally a big fan of supporting the Etsy community, since I have <a href="http://thumbelinacreations.etsy.com/">my own shop</a> there.<br /><br />Every once in a while, I take the time to check out a local bead shop or boutique. They don't have to be big stores to have amazing beads. In fact, because they are small, they sometimes have one-of-a-kind beads. Look in your local yellow pages. I'm sure you'll find one you absolutely love.Crafty Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17487643108122667668noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36915891.post-24873333861611132912008-06-12T10:47:00.005-06:002008-06-12T12:13:36.347-06:00Technorati Favorites ExchangeI have come across a great way to increase traffic to my site via the Technorati Favorites Exchange.

Goodness, why haven't I heard of it?! Anyway, I have found some great sites on the internet showing how to make awesome jewelry out of this stuff. <br />You can see tutorials and check out the finished products at <a href="http://craft-therapy.blogspot.com/2008/06/shrink-plastic-jewelry-tutorial-part-ii.html">Craft Therapy</a> and <a href="http://www.planetjune.com/blog/shrink-plastic-ring-tutorial/">PlanetJune</a>.<br /><br />I haven't yet had a chance to try this technique, but be sure that I will.

It was held on Friday, June 6 and Saturday, June 7. I have had bad experiences with craft fairs in the past, so I was a little nervous.
