DIY Friday: Making a gorgeous necklace with Gypsy Wings!

I'm very excited to host a guest today for DIY Friday: Gypsy Wings, also known as Gypsy Rae Photography, also known as Georgia Cranston!

Georgia is an artist, a writer, a mama, a reader, a Twilight Mom, and has been a friend to readergirlz since the very beginning.

You can get to know her better by visiting her Esty shop (with more cool necklaces!), her website, and her amazing photostream.

She's here today to teach us how to make a beautiful necklace with stones and findings - Miranda's sister in TELL ME A SECRET is a DIY girl, and she would most definitely approve.

Welcome, Georgia!

New Moon Frenzy: rgz RAVE Reminder and Give-Away

New Moon chat at readergirlz on November 21st

Get ready to squeee, ladies! rgz is giving away this beautiful necklace made by Gypsy Wings during the rgz RAVE on the 21st. And despite the gorgeousness of this, guess what it's made of? Here's what Gypsy says:

"It is a sea stone from First Beach (the beach setting of the Twilight works), paired with a starfish charm and a little amber colored glass bead. There is a Swarovski crystal on the starfish."

I want this! *sigh* But alas and alack, it will go to the tenth comment during the RAVE. (rolling forward in the count if it falls on rgz staff.)

It's a beauty! See you Saturday. Enjoy the premiere, rgz!

Adam or Danny or...

Okay, rgz. We love our books. We love reading. But what about AMERICAN IDOL! Who is going to win, ladies?

Gypsy Wings and I are full supporters of Adam. My husband just let me know he could sing like Adam if he wanted. THAT'S a total relief. ;~)

Gypsy and I also heart Danny Gokey!

What do you say? Who are you voting for? It better be Adam. Just kidding. Mostly...
