This is really one of the biggest things that has ever happened to me, I'm a little nervous about all the attention that's suddenly been drawn to me, but I'm sure it will pass soon, as facebook goes- I'll be old news before you can blink an eye. Tossed aside for the next bit of drama. Alas, it will be short lived. But you know what? I plan to enter a bunch more contests and I might not get such a sweet judge in these competitions, eh? Ruby is such a genuine and kind person. I have no clue why she picked me, I thought that many of the jewelries were much prettier and some of them had entered several times. God just decided to give me a green light, I guess. This is where I am supposed to be, and what I do is what I will always do- until my hands fall off, I WILL BEAD. Everyday that I wake up I can't wait to get to my bead table, and sometimes I wonder if there will ever be a day that I wake up and don't want to bead, that's a terrifying thought...
Well I'm excited to receive my prize, A whole lot of stuff, a boatload of Swarovski and pearls and gemstones and findings and pendants and ... yea its a pretty good deal and who doesn't love to get free beads? And be a winner, just once, wow. Very cool :) My 6 year-old son knows the difference between a bicone and a delica, that's how huge of a part beading plays in my everyday life. We beaded together tonight, we started another pair of beaded scorpions. I'll post some pics soon, my (Mom's) camera crapped so need to get another sd card to see if that was the problem. Still hoping she will post the ornament soon.. prolly should remind her ... again. Many thanks to all the people who have congratulated me and for all your kind words. It means a whole lot to me. But I don't have time to thank everybody individually and certainly won't be lurking around facebook- sorry! If you know me you know how i feel about facebook. Besides Im too busy lurking about youtube looking for new patterns and projects to keep me busy. Happy Beading! :)

I Am Andrea Diane Epperson
I am a Mom, a Daughter, MeMe (Grandmother, but don't call me one), a friend, cat lover, jewelry maker, & household goods packer. I am Mom to a married 20 year old Daughter, Jesi Winter who is Mom to 2 precious little girls, Lilica 2 years, and Jasmine 6 months. I am also a Mom to a 6 year old little boy, Andrew James. Andrew has a form of autism called Aspergers syndrome characterized by super-sensitivity to his environment and an inability to tolerate loud noises or lots of noise and crowds. Its sort of like living with a ticking time bomb, never knowing what will set him off; A smell, taste, a toy 'misbehaving'. All of the events of his day must be calculated carefully as he cannot cope with change the way another child might. He has improved greatly, for instance he was very terrified of the vacuum cleaner and now he volunteers to vacuum messes all the time. Small steps like this are huge milestones in Andrew's development and adjustment to daily life. Although his form of Autism is especially difficult to handle because of the sheer raw nerves and the meltdowns are simply awful, the up side is he loves unconditionally and is completely genuine. There are no facades for him, no little white lies, because he is incapable of lying. He is a handful, to say the least, but a pure joy to know and love. Archives
