Busy, Busy, Busy at Risky Beads

 Snowball in Hell Necklace

Hi, folks! Sorry for the lack of posts.  I've been super busy with my Etsy shop since about the 5th of November, and other things have fallen by the wayside.  So, just a few updates before it's back to the bench block!

My deadline for international (all non-U.S.) orders is Dec 3rd.  I need to have time to make your order and then have enough time for it to travel through the mail to your chimney!

Bracelets are now 35% off!  Everything left is a one-of-a-kind design!  Beaded jewelry ships out within 24 hours because there's no hammering involved!

That's all for now!

 I'm having a BOGO Clearance SALE in my Etsy shop right now, and here's how it works:
