Crank up the disco lights and break open the martini. Tonight we’re going to party like it’s 2012 in our ‘Party On’ Reader’s Gallery!
The winter festivities may be on the wane but we see no reason to stop celebrating. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day and we’re feeling good. Your party makes have been pouring in to our Facebook page for the last few weeks so here they are in all their glory in our first Reader’s Gallery of 2012. Happy New Year everybody!
Congratulations
Summer vibes from Louise Richardson
You all sent in so many lovely designs. Some of them are decidedly Christmas and will make beautiful keepsakes to bring out year after year. Others will add a touch of glam in any season. It was, as ever, a hard decision to make but in the end, we chose Caroline McCreesh’ gorgeous, sparkly jewellery set. Like magpies, we couldn’t resist those shiny beads! We will be sending Caroline a £10 gift voucher to spend on Beads Unlimited goodies. We will also be sending a £10 voucher to Louise Richardson. Her fab bunting necklace is so effective and we’d never seen anything like it.
Get yourself showcased
Thanks for all your great entries and sorry if you didn’t make it into the gallery this time. The current theme running is ‘The End of an Earring’. In homage to Pat Butcher’s exit from Eastenders, we thought it would be fun to see all your over the top earring designs! For a chance to be featured, please email creative@beadsunlimited.co.uk or post up your photos on our facebook wall by midnight, Sunday 29th January 2012.
If you have your own website, blog or facebook page that you would like linked to if you are showcased, please let us know with your entry. All we ask is a mention with a link to www.beadsunlimited.co.uk on your page.
