We can now rename October 2011 to "Awesome Book Tour Month"!
My blue-uniformed day job has been extraordinarily overwhelming lately, (hence the lack of posting) and makes me really want to rename October the "Crazy Air Force Un-Decision-Making Month" but that wouldn't put positive karma out there like this book so I'm going TORCH FIRED instead!!
Throughout the month, starting today with Mary Jane Dodd, you'll be able to see projects and inspiration from Barbara's brand new book. I'm going to be hosting a stop on 15 October and can't wait to share some of the awesome beads I made last Friday night. I'm planning to show off my kitchen table/workshop and just how easy it is to add a little "hotness" to your creative life--even in a tiny apartment!
Here's the list of hosts for you to follow:

There will be prizes throughout the tour plus a grand prize at the end, so you'll have to stop off and visit these sites throughout the month. Plus, there'll be a BONUS PRIZE at the end of the tour: All of the entries on the "official" posts will be included in the drawing for a kit containing all the elements of "Floral Cascade," one of the projects in the book! You'll receive everything you need to make the necklace, including the chain, jump rings, clasp, enamel beads, and head pins!
But that's not all!
For a chance to win the GRAND PRIZE - a Torch-Firing Kit (or $110 shopping experience at www.paintingwithfireartwear.com) - please leave a review at Amazon.com by November 24. Remember, leave an honest review... the book must stand on its own.
Hey Jen, I can't wait for your post! I love to see the work spaces of other artists. It's like I'm a "Peeping Tom!" :-) See you in a couple of days! Thanks so much for saying yes to participating!
