Yeah, well, there are quite a few things that bring me a sense of euphoria...a REALLY good glass of wine, a job well done (that I'm very pleased with...and I am my toughest critic!)...and finding sites I LO-O-O-OVE to shop on!!!
For my polymer clay, I go to polymerclayexpress.com; shadesofclay.com; and occasionally firemountaingems.com. Most of my hard-earned dollars are given to PCE, though. I have found, in endless web searching, that they have the best prices for just about anything I want.
I have three places I buy my gold-filled, vermeil, and sterling beads and findings: firemountaingems.com; gemstategoldandsilver.com; and, balikusilverbeads.com. Fire Mountain just has the absolute best prices when you buy in bulk (and a $5 max shipping fee is unheard of!); Gem State Gold and Silver has the best prices for small buys (and the owner is a real sweetie who will call you personnaly about an order!), and Baliku Silver is the best Indonesian supplier I've found for sterling Bali and vermeil beads and findings...and their customer service is second to none!
Yeah, I know this isn't really about PC, but it is kinda! I've been busy the last couple of days volunteering at an artist co-op I belong to and getting ready for in-laws to visit....complete, thorough, ass-kicking house cleaning....ugh!
Here's a photo of one of the items I entered in the Fire Mountain Gems Beading Contest...still waiting to get results...and keeping my fingers crossed. Here's also a little something more about me:

More on PC later...promise!
