Happy Fall!

Today, September 23, 2007, is the first day of Fall! Happy Fall to everyone! Fall is a favorite time of year for a lot of people and we love Fall as well! Fall means awesome colors when the leaves on the tree's change, it means cooler temperatures and packing away those summer clothes only to bring out those packed away sweaters and tracks pants it also means change and turning over a new leaf!! We kind of shift gears and we start to think of the upcoming Holidays which are all fast approaching -:- Canadian Thanksgiving - October 8 2007 Halloween - October 31, 2007 USA Thanksgiving - November 22, 2007 Christmas - December 25, 2007 With only 38 days until Halloween, 60 days until the US Thanksgiving and 93 days until Christmas now is a great time to start make a list and checking it twice for the gifts you want to make everyone this year! ========================================= Getting organized and into the Holiday mode is hard for everyone, I know it is for us, we all think oh that seems like a long way away or I have lots of time no problem, but before we know it, its here and we start to panic as to what to make or give everyone. If you start early to think about the upcoming holiday sand what you have to do and making that list and getting in some of the supplies or patterns you need ahead of time you won't feel as rushed when the days starts to count down and that Holiday is coming up! ========================================== Come and visit with us at Bead Shak we can help you get a head start on some of your projects - :- For celebrating the Fall Season this is one of many beaded banner patterns we have for you available: For celebrating Halloween this is one of many beaded banner patterns we have for you available: For celebrating Christmas this is one of the many beaded banner patterns we have for you available: ====================================== Make a list, check it twice, don't forget to visit with us at Bead Shak and the most important thing of all is to .·:*¨♥ Bead A Memory With Us ♥¨*:·. ================================== .·:*¨♥ Jenny and Jan ♥¨*:·.

Bead A Memory With Us At Bead Shak!

Jenny and I have been doing crafts of one kind or another all of our lives. We both have given to family and friends gifts for special occasions such as Birthdays, Anniversaries, or just to say have a great day. Plus we have received from family and friends some pretty amazing hand crafted gifts. We both have kept everything we have received from family and friends and have stored them so that we can bring them out to hang or place somewhere for special holidays or events. Its always fun to look into those boxes and see what is there and to remember when you received it and for what holiday or special occasion, what you did that day, what it meant to you when you received the gift, the look on the person's face that made that gift specially for us, all of those things that happen when we look back evoke in us all special memories. I got to thinking about crafting and what it means to the person that makes a craft project and what it means to the person that receives one. From the crafter's stand point, its seeing that project in a craft store or on line, whether its cross stitch or beading or crochet and saying oh wow I know that Aunt Jan or my best friend Jenny would love to have that or it reminds you of them and you know you have to make it just for them. That excitement of finding a special project then leads to the picking of the materials, the colors for it and all the supplies that is needed to complete it, then comes the fun part the making of it. Then as we go along in the project we think of things to add or embellish that special project with. When its done, then comes the thought, "I can't wait until they get this", and then you wonder "I hope they like it" or will they be as excited as you are having found that special gift and you also hope that you don't say anything to them about it, as its hard not to being so excited about what your about to give them. I know for me its hard not to say anything!!! Then comes the moment you see the look on their face or you hear from them via email or phone that they are just thrilled to bits, they love it and sound so excited to have gotten it from you and that you thought enough of them to do something so special for them and them saying how did you know? The reason you knew is you cared enough about them to listen to what they have said about what they like or don't like and could make a great choice in craft projects. And for me that is the best moment of it all! That is called Crafting From The Heart! ======================================= From the receiver of the craft project side, its the surprise of getting a gift from that friend or family member, knowing that they have made something that is special and unique just for you, that some times it takes hours and hours of work, that they thought enough of you to go and pick out those supplies and put it all together, wrap it up and either send it to you by mailing it at the post office or in person delivering it to you, all of which takes time which was just spent just on you. But the most special thing is opening up that box or package and seeing it and thinking wow I love this, its the perfect color or the perfect wall hanging and how did you know that I just love things like this. Then you think I will hang this in a special place for all to see or you box it up carefully only to bring it out on the occasion you received it on. Then you remember who made this for you and for what occasion and all the things that happened that day when you received it and then you think about that person who made it for you! That is called Making A Memory! ========================================= How fun is it to go back and look at things that were made for you that you received from your kids as a school craft project or from a friend who was just starting out doing a new craft and then seeing how far she has come. My grandmother had a box of things that I had made in school, craft projects made out of paper plates and other things and then as I got older she could see the progress I had made and use to laugh with me at some of the things that I had come up with, and was amazed and happy for that I was doing better and becoming more creative at the same time. That box of what I thought at the time was not good enough made her very happy when she opened it and talked and laughed about what was inside. And sometimes we do think that what we have made for somebody is not good enough or that the materials that we prefer to work in might be looked upon as child like but that is not the case at all. What ever project you decide on or craft medium you like to work in you will be giving the recipient of the gift something that is more valuable than anything,you will be making memories for them to look back on forever and ever and in the end that is all we have!
