If you FEEL like it...
...by the way I'm getting fabulous feedback from ya'll, thanks ever so much..I'll share my info tomorrow, but feel free to email me these answers anytime...
I'm looking for a little feedback just cause I like to pulse ya'll occasionally...So I have 2 questions for you..Feel free to email me, you don't have to leave comments-
1. Regarding my Pickings - would you like me to offer these Randomly (like Corina does) or do you like the immediate chance to 'win' them when they are posted? Is that too stressful? (course not being randomly picked could be considered stressful too)...Please let me know what your thoughts are on how that goes..
2. Any 'nostalgic' beads that are in my gallery that you'd like me to offer as Pickings? Send me a list of you faves and I'll see what I can do..(Its not like I don't have plenty to do, but sometimes I get away from 'center' and maybe I need a nudge back)...
There are your topics - Operators are standing by to take your emails...
Alrighty, i've completed my coding and descriptions (those take forever!) and the Pickings can now commence...SO SORRY for the yellow tinge to the pictures, I can retake anything you want to see more clearly...I'm grateful for the rain, tho...
the page was not supposed to update, it is supposed to wait until I publish my blog...sorry that you're seeing the pic at the moment...i'm working on the sets, am not sure when they'll be ready, but hopefully in the next hour...

Hi Donna - You are such a tease. Now I am stuck to my monitor for the next hour. Luckily I am at home today & not at work so no guilt here. Beautiful beads by the way. I'm sorry I missed you at the Austin Bead Show. My sister from Fort Worth came in that weekend. - Jana

Donna,
1) I like the way you are currently posting your "pickings" for immediate purchase as it's a little different than Corina, and it's fun to be different :)!
2) I love your "blues" (would die to have Wild Wild West and Blue Pacific [Clear and Splash]) and also "reds, pinks, oranges" pages in your gallery! The "Teal Steal" freebie is wonderful too! I prefer the more vibrant colors over subtle earthtones. That's just my opinion of course!

Even though I often arrive late for your pickings, I like the way you do it. It must be the immediate gratification thing....As I get older I more and more hate having to wait.

This is like asking who your favorite child is! But if pressed, my favorites from the gallery are:
Sunshine Day
Mykonos
Aztec Rounds
London Underground
Shepherd's Bush
Whatever the lime green/periwinkle sets are called. I pulled some of these from your assorted beads at the ABS show and I've had to fight one of my customers for them. She wants to see them when they're made up. Sure! And they're going to cost $500, baby! :-)

I like the way you post your "Pickings" even though I also arrive too late.
Favorite Sets well this list could be quite a good deal longer but here it is:
Watermelon Squeeze
Bella Donna
Navajo
Exsqueeze Me (Black & White)
Wild Wild West

Hi Donna,
I like the way you post your pickings. My favorites are "Don't look at the sun" (oh yeah, I am still hoping it is on your board), and Shepards Brush. I really like the purple and blues together.
Of course,all the beads are beautiful. The time zone thing can cause some problems. Fut I guess that isn't something you can fix. :>

I like the way you do your pickings too, but would like it if you gave us a little warning as to when the pickings will be up, so that those of us in another time zone can make plans to be up early or late. I love your stuff, but almost never make the updates.
I love Sweet Surprise and Carrie in Paris--LOVE the silver reduction stringer! Pink an Purple ROCKS!
:)

I never make it for your pickings either, but I like the way you do them. I'm not big on the random distribution thing since you have to wait until you either get an email saying you've won, or until the site has been updated with SOLD.
I don't have any specific "favorites" in your gallery, but I do like anything with fall colors. You know...ambers, greens, oranges... I think you've got several sets with those colors in them, but some autumn pickings would be great!
Thanks!

1. Pickings - I like the way it is now. I'm not known for my great patience so sometimes the wait in ebay is a killer.
2. Gallery - Really love 'em all and its hard to pick a few. To each one that someone listed above, I find myself saying, "Oh, yeah!" You are such a talent!

The way you post your pickings is great for me. The main thing that I like is that you don't give just the date of the next pickings but you also give an approximate time. Also, if you are running late(and who doesn't from time to time) you let us know so we don't have to guess.

DONNA,
I LIKE THE WAY YOU DO THE SPECIALS. I REALLY LIKE ALL OF YOUR BEADS. MY FAVORITE ARE IN THE EARTHTONE.
ANDROMEDA AND ENGLISH TWEEDS (ALL OF THEM)
YOUR WORK IS FABULOUS.

A list of faves from the gallery, eh? No problem -let's see if I can limit it to a handful because as everyone is pointing out, it's easy to say "all of them!" Here are some of mine:
*Hush
*Carnival
*Victorian Gold
*Blackberry Wine
*Berry Blast
*Chocolat
~Any and all of your pendants!
~Would love to see floral rings again!
Whew! Tough to narrow it down to a few...
I agree that I like how you do your pickings - I especially like it when you give 12-24 hours notice and provide a time...that helps me plan...also agree that it's great when you let us know if you're running late! You know we're all here poised over our 'refresh' buttons going crazy! ~Erika
