I missed last week's Shops with less than (10) sales featured studio, between being busy at work AND a DNS problem that essentially knocked down my blog for a while.

The ArtFire Crazy Train rider for March 29-30, is Mayz Lampwork Beadz. May creates lampwork beads, if her studio name didn't give it away. I love the look of lampwork beads, and maybe one day if I have enough time, I'll try learning this art form.  But for now, I will just ogle and drool over others' handiwork.  Please go visit May's studio and see what she has available!

Here are a couple new items they have that were not in their studio the last time I featured them:

What a day. I was having a rather bad day (day job related), and then I checked my email and saw I had a sale! Oh my gosh! I can hardly describe how happy that made me and it just made my day. I'm ecstatic! It is only a few dollars, but really I don't care, I am happy nevertheless!! This is what I sold: I can still hardly believe it! It's already on its way to California to its new owner, I hope she likes it! It put me in such a great mood I decided to add a couple more listings for some…
