Souvenirs From Life Giveaway

Laura at Souvenirs From Life must have read my mind when she decided on this giveaway.  I was just searching the web for double flush cutters last night and here she is giving away a pair by Swanstrom.

double flush cutter - a wireworker's dream

If you are not familiar with what these babies can do, you will tear up with joy upon reading the description.  Here from the Rio Grande catalog is music to my ears:

Swanstrom Double-Flush Shear Cutter

Item Number: 111063

Designed for cutting jump rings and reducing metal waste. Get flush edges on both sides of the cut so you don't need to file jump rings before soldering! A knurled set-screw allows you to set the jaws for the precise—and repeatable pressure you need.

Laura is celebrating Souvenirs From Life turning one.  I'd say this is a fine way to commemorate the occasion.

You can enter the giveaway for this fabulous necklace at Beading from the Heart.  Nancy Peterson from BFTH is celebrating her first publication in Beadwork magazine with this giveaway.  She is featured in the August/September issue:

The giveaway necklace is featured on the left in the photo above.  I thought this might be a good project for me to work on to learn a little RAW, but winning one would be even better.  Of course this is because I would have a "live" model in front of me.  Surf on over - Nancy will draw for a winner next Saturday, August 14th.  You might also check out some of her patterns at her store front.  I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these.
