BESTeam Feature - Plumbeadacious

My BESTeam Feature for this week is about a lovely gal named LeAllyson Meyer, from Plumbeadacious on Etsy.
By day LeAllyson works as a clinic compliance and risk analyst, by night, and on the weekends, her entrepreneur cap goes on, and she is instantly transformed into a Jewelry and Website Designer, and an Administrator. Out of all of the caps LeAllyson wears though, being a Jewelry Designer is the one which brings her the most happiness.

I found my own happiness in LeAllyson's shop in these lovely earrings! These earrings are certainly a perfect pair for Easter and Springtime wear!

White Vintage Glass Earrings with Swarovski Crystals and Sterling Silver Beads

LeAllyson has been designing jewelry for seven years , and selling for five years now. She was introduced to the pleasing and delightful joys of creating beaded jewelry, by her daughter. Her goal and aspirations have always been, to provide affordable jewelry for those who want to grace themselves with something captivating, charming, and to visually delight, to “tickle you pink“, so to speak!

In 2010 she moved from Missouri, to Severance, Colorado, a town that she loves and inspires her imagination in designing ideas.
Due to this eventful change LeAllyson is rebuilding her inventory, so, keep an eye out on this shop! I am certain that there will be many new and lovely jewelry pieces soon to come, maybe like these!:

Antiqued Silver Flower Cuff Bracelet Soft Rose Pink

Aqua Glass Briolettes, Freshwater Pearls, Sterling Silver Necklace

LeAllyson's designs include: Glass beads, Crystals, Freshwater Pearls, Lucite, and much more! She uses gold fill and sterling silver in her more refined designs, and you’ll also find other materials such as Copper, Pewter, and Brass, being used also! LeAllyson will always make an effort to clearly describe the materials used. This is one of LeAllyson's many Necklace designs done in Copper!

and here is the  picture of the matching earrings! This set would certainly add flair to your neutral fashions, and even your bold colors for that fact!

Coppery Glow Earrings - Czech Glass, Freshwater Pearl, Copper

LeAllyson also may be willing to take on a jewelry design idea of yours and turn it into your own unique piece of jewelry, or, if there is a piece of jewelry that you would like to alter in her listings on Etsy, that may be arranged also! She would certainly be happy to discuss either of these with you by "convo" at Etsy or by email to: plumbeadacious@ gmail.com
You can also use either of these forms of contact to ask any questions also!

The Stylish Blogger Award!

Usually when I open my email, its hum drum, nothing to much exciting except if I receive an email from a friend, but its usually just information that’s sometimes needless and a quick delete. But, the other day I received an email from one of my Blogger friends, Sara, of Simply Sarafina Paints.
Her email provided a link back to her Blog and she wrote: “I wanted to pass this award on to you because I think you definitely deserve it!”.
I thought, well OK, and I went to check her link out. I didn’t know what to expect, I had only seen this award a few times, and I had no idea how it was received. Well, now I know how it is received. It is given to you from another Blogger!
Sara is awarding me, yes me, the Stylish Blogger Award. Needless to say, I was , and still am, totally jazzed. I have been working so hard on my Blog lately, and now I am actually getting an award for it, thats so awesome and incredible! I am so blessed.


Well its 4 or 5 days later now, and 3am in the morning. I cannot go back to sleep because the wind is just so fierce, along with the rain. And honestly, it’s a tad scary to me, even though my husband is here (I can hear my husband in the bedroom snoring peacefully, only to himself).
I am now FINALLY able to have the time to write this up!
So, here it is:
Once this Award is received I am to:

1. Thank the person who gave it to me.
2. State 7 Random Facts about myself.
3. Share the love by passing this Award to 3 others.

So, I already took care of number 1, I emailed Sara back immediately to thank her.
And now for 7 Random Facts:

1. I am a Fall/Winter kind of person. I just love those Seasons. The colors of the leaves changing, the rain, the beautiful scenery of white layered ground and trees, BUT I cannot stand the wind and the cold!
As I have grown older, though wiser, I get cold so much easier then I did when I was younger. And where I work, being outdoors, I am exposed to ALL kinds of weather, but rain and cold are the worst for me.

2. I met my husband at my place of employment the very first day I was transferred to the Toyota Facility, here in Benicia, Ca. We just totally clicked, and I still LOVE being around him all day and sharing breaks, and lunch with him. I feel so blessed and thankful for God putting him in my life. Mark has helped to grow and become a better person, he is truly my “better half”.

3. I struggle with receiving Child Support. My friends say I am in “Court” all the time, and really, I am. I have learned so much though about my son’s father, and the court system that I hope one day I can share that information and help someone else.

4. I am addicted to BEADS!!!!! I buy Beads even when I don’t need them. But, a few times when I have been designing a piece of jewelry I have found exactly what I needed when looking in my stash.

5. I am a total “Early Bird”! My alarm goes off at 3:45am on the weekdays, even when I don’t work. So, my sleeping in is like till 5 or 6am. I have been lucky though lately and have slept till 8am, but then I feel like my whole day is past.

6. I listen to contemporary Christian Music, almost all the time. The station that I listen to is KLOVE. I play that station in the car and on the computer. I need to go put it on now, but I think I have to many windows opened already. I really prefer all my windows lined out at the bottom of my screen.

And finally #7:
I LOVE to cook! I wish I could spend all day in the kitchen cooking. I think I may like having a job at a small restaurant, but then I fear I may not like cooking at home anymore.
My favorite thing to do is BBQ, and I really don’t have a favorite thing to cook, BUT my husband LOVE”S my Spaghetti (well everything really) , and my son ( my very pickiest eater) LOVE’S my Cheese Burgers.

NOW for the easy and most fun nest part in receiving this award.
Drum Roll Please, I am passing this award to:
