Maven's Mission

Hello, and welcome to my site.  The purpose of this blog is to create a connection between beaders around the world.   Here and now I extend the invitation to all of you, beadwork artists and appreciators of their work, to join me in my journal, post comments and link to me from their sites.  We already have a common thread.  Let's extend this network so we can share knowledge, inspiration, and The Beader's Muse.

UPDATE:  KITS HAVE SOLD OUT!  SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED!
Please thoroughly read all the rules and deadlines for the USE THE MUSE Contest BEFORE you sign up to participate.  I will not be accepting returns on the kits. You are not required to submit an entry if you choose to purchase a kit. You may submit up to three entries, but you must purchase a separate kit for each entry (because every entry needs the MUSE to be considered for judging). There is a strict kit limit, and once I am out of kits that is it... so sign up early if you want to ensure they are not sold out!  Kits sold out before the deadline during the last contest!  If you are ordering a kit from another country please be aware that I am not responsible for any delays from customs or kits that go missing in postal transit.  Although the good news is that during the last contest we did not experience a higher rate of missing kits going out of the country than those within the US, it was about the same.  I will do my very best to ensure that each participant gets there kit in a timely manner, but it is up to you to gage how long the International shipping might take and if you are allowing yourself enough time to complete your entry.  Shipping took anywhere from 1-4 weeks for International orders.  Kits being shipped Internationally have a higher postage fee, please be sure to click through the correct ADD TO CART button.  If shipping to your country turns out to be much higher than expected, I reserve the right to contact you and collect the difference of shipping costs and will give you the opportunity to cancel your order if you don't want to pay the difference (there was never an occurrence of this in the last contest though, so I don't anticipate it). Thanks in advance for your understanding!  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at scarlettlanson@yahoo.com and I will be happy to assist you.

 

Important Note: Kits are shipped in batchesThe first batch of kits does not ship out for 2-3 weeks.  That is why the time to order kits has been extended.  If you order in the first few weeks, it is technically a pre-order but you will be of the first to get your kit, and if kits sell out, you will be glad you signed up early.  Batches after that mail out about twice a week.  

Reminder: Please check your Shipping address on your Paypal account and update it if necessary! I communicate with Participants through the email address attached to their Paypal account, so please keep that in mind as well.  Thanks!
