[Ever After]

[Ever After]

youre very welcome!
and a huge thanks to you too..:)

[wendbill]

Bought it. Love it thank you.

[Ever After]

ty! remember just like the pansy tut, any questions, just give me an email or pm!
or simply ask here I check this all the time.

[Ever After]

This is what I envision...lol if you care to know.. I was thinking I have a few more ideas for tutorials, all of which contain very different techniques, but they will be off in the future..at anyrate, I was picturing them printed off, and all compiled into a three ring binder, you could slip them into matte page thingy ma bobs.. so you wouldnt have to punch holes in the pages..Oh hell, guess I will blog about this.. lol ever have one of those mornings when you have so many gears churning you dont know which way is up?



What I really find fun about this e-tut venture is getting other peoples tuts, even if im not interested in using those techniques to learn about that artist its such a cool thing to me..

[Sarabella]

Got it.LOVE it. Great job Laurie!!

posting this in all my tut threads, I would like to set up a mini gallery on my website of beads made using the tutorials, so please send me pics! I can photo shop them if you cant, and if you have already sent me pics, give me the heads up to use them, please..
Ive saved them all, Im so proud of all of you!

[Ever After]

Just a quick note, I just made up two bundles of the 3 tuts at discounted prices,
I made one with all three.. Pansy, sunflower and rose,
and one with the sunflower and rose,
each one of them have totally different techniques and typos! lol!!

Thank-you so much for your wonderful tutorials!

[EmbellishYourself]

Mendy that turned out really cool!

[raindance]

Thanks, Jenny! 128153 I've learned so much from this tutorial! I highly recommend it to everyone! I have the other 2 tutorials, but with the hot weather and some really bad computer problems to bog me down time-wise...I haven't had the chance to try them out yet. But I will this week sometime. The cooler weather is coming and I think my 'puter has started getting over its problems.

[Ever After]

Stunning!!

[Ever After]
