Yes, I finally did it! :) Some of you have been pestering me about getting on Facebook for years, and I decided that the time has finally come, LOL!

I'm still getting a "feel" for it, but I'm excited to let you know that at least I'm up and running! Here is my "fan page" if you want to "be a fan": www.facebook.com/pages/Alicias-Creations/137935228728

Apparently once I get 100 fans, then I get a shorter page address without all of the numbers on the end!

I'll post a few more photos and things over there as time allows. It seems to be a lot easier to post things on my personal profile page though, so I may just use that one primarily instead of the "fan page". I'll just have to see how this goes.

If you'd like to "friend me" on my personal page, here it is: www.facebook.com/aliciajoymerritt

I have removed the request form on my website for custom order requests as I currently have enough custom order requests to keep me busy for about a year.

Next year when I am ready to accept more custom orders, I will let you know here and through my newsletter when the request form is back up and ready for new requests!

I've put an assortment of new stuff on eBay for this week. Shown here is a complete African Grey "Flights of Fancy" ensemble, with necklace, earrings and matching beaded bracelet. I love the stunning glass beads and color scheme in amber, yellow and garnet.

Also on auction this week are a beaded Umbrella Cockatoo Bracelet & Earrings, a Turquoisine Grass Parakeet Charm, another "Poop Pin" (not shown) and some feather earrings.
