I was recently given the opportunity to do a review for a company called Delish Beads.

They supplied me with a wonderful assortment of beads, cabochons, findings and chains.

Customer Service: I had a slight hiccup in the beginning. I had been e-mailing them about setting up everything for my review and I was just waiting for my package to arrive. I had been waiting a while with no package, so I e-mailed again asking about it. They quickly replied and said that my request had gotten looked over in the shuffle of things and would send out my package soon. I received my packaged within a few days after that. Excellent customer service. A+

 Packaging:  Everything arrived to me safely with no packaging issues. Many items were in individual baggies and then everything was bundled together in bubble wrap. A+

Products: I love it all! Everything is so adorable and so well made. I feel like everything will hold up well over time. I love the variety of pieces that they sell and the various colors that you can get in items such as chain, jump rings and hair clips. I would absolutely recommend Delish Beads to anyone and everyone and will most definitely be buying from them again. A+

Other: They offer free shipping on everything you buy, no matter how much you spend! This is a great plus as I hate spending money on shipping when I could be spending that money on more product.

Below are a few projects that I created with the products Delish Beads sent me.

The chain on this one is from Delish Beads. The chocolate charm was created by me from polymer clay.

Last year I had the opportunity to host a party through Crowdtap.It was a party for the newest Hawiian Tropic suntan lotion and it was a blast. I decided to create a layout with pictures from the party.

It's a two page layout, but I have always had issues in blogger trying to get two pictures to line up next to each other.

I used a digital kit by Jill Dzines called Celebrate Summer.

I felt in the Christmas mood still today and decided to create a digital layout of Christmas yesterday. I included the best present I got on the layout -- my new purple laptop!

Also, if anyone is interested there is a code on my sidebar to get $10 off the purchase of the My Memories Suite software.

Post-It Craft Paper Review

PRODUCT: Post-it 8-1/2 by 12-Inch Craft Paper, 6-Sheet/Pack

MY RATING: 4/5

DESCRIPTION (From Amazon.com): Fast, Easy, No Mess! Simply cut, peel and stick Post-it(R) Craft Paper to a variety of surfaces. The paper is incredibly versatile - try it with your favorite supplies and techniques. Stamp it, chalk it, print it, punch it, layer it, emboss it, embellish it. Great for scrapbooking, card making, school projects and so much more.

MY REVIEW: I enjoyed this product. I make a lot of cards and this paper was really helpful. I really liked that the product is sticky on the entire back of the sheet. This is great for small cutouts that are hard to put adhesive on. I used a basic shape punch on this paper first. It was a little bit hard to punch all the way through the paper because of the thickness, but with a little extra force it wasn't too bad. This paper also works great in the cricut machine. There are instructions right on the back of the package that tell you what settings to use on your machine in order to kiss cut the paper (cut through just the top layer so you can just peel off the color paper).

The only problem I have with this paper is that it is a little on the expensive side because you only get six sheets. It would be better if there were two or three sheets of each color in the package instead of just one. If the paper ever goes on sale it will be well worth buying a pack or two.
