Christmas at the Dance Studio

This week we celebrate Christmas classes at my small dance studio!

The sounds of Feliz Navidad, Jingle Bells, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree... are in the air :-)

And I've been quite busy during some evenings last week - crafting mini-presents for all of my students...

many, many mini-keychains for many, many dancers... :-)

ready to go - ho, ho, ho!

Just In Time For Christmas...

Hello friends!

A bad bout of the flu put me on hold for the last few days...

But at least some nice things did come out of those long hours recovering on the couch -

take a look:

"Bangalore Ginger Blossoms" - stainless steel bracelet

"Multikulti Manhattan Chic" - stainless steel bracelet

"Frosty Soho Days" - stainless steel/rubber bracelet

"Frosty Soho Days"

"African Black Beauty" - stainless steel bracelet

Hope you enjoy them!
Have a great evening on 12.12.2012!

Charity project on Dawanda supporting "Die Arche"

Dear friends of CircleOfLife,

I'm happy to announce that from 6th of December until 7th of January 10% of every purchase at my "CircleOfLife-Dawanda"-shop will be donated to "Die Arche", a christian charity organization supporting children living in poverty.

This is part of a major charity project on the Dawanda-site and presents a great opportunity to combine shopping for very special, handmade Christmas presents for your loved ones with helping people in need!

Maybe you'd like to take a look!

First Snow Here In Austria!

Dear friends!

On the first of December I enjoyed watching snowflakes falling outside of my window...

Today the snow is gone, but the overall feeling of December - wintertime - Christmas coming nearer still lingers in the air...!

Have a nice week!

First Give-Away!!!

Dear friends,
yesterday evening - in between working on the new blog and countless jumprings, glassbeads, wires, new designs and a small heap of ready-to-go christmas-bracelets - I had the idea to give away one of these just for fun!

Let's see: the new bracelet design "Everyday Bronx" from the "Extremely Cool Bracelets"-collection will go to the first person, who visits and likes/shares/comments on my new blogsite

http://www.gerlindescircleoflife.blogspot.com/

I'm curious who will be first and am looking forward to your contributions!!!

Liebe Freunde,
zwischen meiner Arbeit an dem neuen Blog und unzähligen Jumprings, Glasperlen, Drähten, halbfertigen Entwürfen und einem kleinen Berg von fertiggestellten "Weihnachts"-Armbändern kam mir gestern abend der Gedanke, dass es vie

lleicht zur Abwechslung mal ganz nett wäre, eines davon zu verschenken!

Und zwar geht ein Stück aus der "Extremely Cool Bracelets"-Kollektion im neuen Muster "Everyday Bronx" an denjenigen, der als erster meine neue Blogseite

http://www.gerlindescircleoflife.blogspot.com/

besucht und liked/shared/kommentiert... :-)
Ich bin schon sehr neugierig, wer es sein wird und freu mich auf eure Teilnahme!!!
