Hello all! I know back in October 2010 I was soon going to add a new collection to the Mad Maggie Design (MMD) label. Life got away from me and I have not had time to start that collection. So, in the mean time I thought I would allow you all to help me make some shop decisions. Click HERE to see what I have up so far! Read the description, policies, please look at the banner and avatar, and look above to see what I have to choose from and leave some comments! Below I will show some pictures of what type of jewelry will be showcased in the collection! Also, let me know what kind of vintage, antique or up-cycled pieces you would prefer to see in the shop! Thank you!! :)

Bead Soup Blog Party Necklace

Hello all! I had Tim take some pictures today of my necklace and I thought I would share them with you! So here it is on, and now you know just why I am keeping it!! Take care and have a great weekend!

Dear Tooth-Fairy,

My baby girl lost her first tooth! She is so excited to get to use her tooth-fairy pillow that I bought her when she was a newborn, anticipating that this day would come.....5 1/2 years later! Mommy and Daddy are excited and sad at the same time. Madelyn really hopes you come tonight and bring her some Squinkies! We have told her that when you came to see us as children we only got a quarter! Tooth-fairy inflation I guess! We will see you tonight! Thank you for taking care of our little ones first tooth!

Warmly,
Tim and Leslie

Madelyn's Bead Soup

Hello all! Here is my daughter Madelyn's Bead Soup that she received from Kitty, my partner in the Bead Soup Blog Party. I am in love with it! It was also VERY sweet of Kitty to include my 5 year old in this party! Kitty knew that besides jewelry design/making and beading, my daughter is the other love of my life, of course coming in FIRST!!

I hope you enjoy the bracelet set that was made from Kitty's stash she sent me! Have a great Friday!

A Happy Day

Hello all!! Yesterday I tried once again to look up on Facebook any old friend that I had lost touch with. Two in fact! And, I found them!! I have tried before, but without success!! Oh my gosh! One was my best friend Dianna! We met at work, a country and western bar, we were both attending the local college and working as bartenders/waitresses at night to support ourselves. She eventually moved in next door to me at the same trailer court we were renting from. Heavens, we were all just 21 and 23 ears of age! Youngins! She moved to Spokane Washington just a couple of years later and we kept in touch for years, but lost touch during that time too. This had to be 1994!!?? Seems like decades!

I am just so emotional over finding her again! Wow, I know some people either love Facebook or hate it, but seriously, it is moments like this that I think it is genius! Thank you Facebook!

Answer And Winner!

In answer to yesterday's Game Time question:

Yes.....Aquaman and Barbie were in the middle of a "Love Tango" yesterday morning when I stumbled in the bathroom half asleep......hmmm, they DO know that this is a child's bathtub right? My husband says he did not do it, so by deductive reasoning, it had to be Madelyn. She told me he had rescued her! I am not even sure WHERE Aquaman came from! Hmmmm...

Thank you to all those who participated! I LOVED all the answers!! They made me giggle.....the bead answers especially! The winner is: Releases by Rufydoof (Karyn) who said, "I am going to guess Barbie and Ken being rather friendly. I hope that isn't too rude but it was the ''doing'' comment you made that had me wonder!" And NO it was not too rude! Very funny in fact!

Karyn, feel free to contact me using my email listed on my blog and let me know which winners item you prefer and a shipping address! Congratulations on a wonderful guess!! Great job everyone! I will do this again soon! I had a lot of fun! :)

Game Time

Hello all! Okay, this might be a little unconventional, but here goes! I am going to ask a question and leave it up on my blog for 24 hours. The first comment to get the question CORRECT will win a FREE handmade beaded toggle, as shown here in my Etsy Shop. You can answer as many times as you want!! If you are the winner and you are NOT a jewelry maker or designer than you can choose a pair of earrings from my already made stash OR I can send you a surprise pair! Your choice again! The answer with a picture and announcement of the winner will be tomorrow around this time!! So, without further ado...

QUESTION: What did I find on/in Madelyn's bathtub when I got up this morning? (Madelyn is my 5 1/2 year old daughter so think Toys!) *HINT* Girly bathtub toys, nothing out of the ordinary, stuff she always has in there, but a surprise something they were "doing"???? Hope that did not give it away TOO much! :)

Have at it and enjoy! :)
