The prolific and talented Shannon LeVart!

Breaking News!  Sharilyn Miller is joining the Virtual Book Tour! On October 25, please visit Sharilyn's blog for some quirky, colorful, and fun eye candy you won't believe.  I got a sneak preview yesterday.  You'll love 'em!  That's all I'm saying ... I don't care what you do to me!

The next stop on the tour is with a very special artist. When we hear the name "Shannon LeVart," we know we're talking about the dynamo known as Miss Ficklemedia.  Hey, how'd she get that name anyway?  I can't imagine ... fickle about media? No one I know is like that! LOL

I'm so thrilled to have Shannon as a part of this tour.  She's adored by so many people.  I can tell you that because I've taught a lot of them!  They love Shannon's work, her blog, and her strength, which are the very things I love about her!

When I asked Shannon if she would be a part of the Virtual Book Tour, she immediately said "yes."  She has funny little nicknames for me ... I can never tell which one she'll use to address me.  Will it be "Sweetheart" or "My Fiery Red Head!"

Shannon immediately went to work and before I could lay pen to paper, she had sent me a photo of these beautiful pieces forged by her own two hands!  Some lucky reader will win these ... perfect for a little enamel!  Make sure you visit Shannon's blog today.

 Before we move on to the rules, which you guys have read at least a million times, I want to announce the winner of Melissa Meman's beautiful earrings!  It's none other than Shirley Moore of Beads and Bread!  Congratulations Shirley!  Your dedication to the book tour paid off and I thank you!

Of course, as I showed them the prize for today, my son said, wow, don't you wish you could have won that! Well...YES! All the prizes on the book tour have been awesome, and I"m truly thankful to have won these beautiful earrings.

  10. The "book" arrived late yesterday afternoon and I haven't put it down since I opened the amazon box. I've been following the blog tour and no one has said anything about my favorite project so far. I love the etched pipe beads. What a wonderful surprise to find. Thanks Barbara for such a great book.
