Peace, Love and Bead Blogger Saturday!

Have you noticed people celebrating Christmas in July this weekend?! While flipping TV channels this morning, QVC was aglow in holiday lights!

Then during a call to my Mom I discovered she was right in the middle of a holiday golf cart parade up at Lake Erie where everyone had decorated for the winter holidays! Sounds like fun to me!

Tammy Powley at About.Com Jewelry Making is talking about getting started on holiday ornaments!!

Considering Ohio is experiencing a serious heat wave, thoughts of cold air and snow have not entered my mind at all!

I have to admit it was fun to shift gears for a minute, but don't get the idea I'm ready for winter, just ready for a slight break in the heat!! :)

If you have a minute, I hope you'll join me in hopping through some of the links below to see what everyone is up to!
